Bryson DeChambeau gives his clubs nicknames

Here’s what he calls them and why!

The US Amateur champion is already famous for having all of his clubs the same length (37.5 inches), lie and bounce angle. The ‘golfing scientist’ has now revealed the nicknames he gives to each of his clubs and some of the reasons behind them.

• 60 degree – King – In honour of Arnold Palmer’s 1960 Masters win

• 55 degree – Mr. Ward – In honour of Harvie Ward, 1955 Masters low amateur and former US Amateur champ

• 50 degree – Jimmy – In honour of 1950 Masters champ Jimmy Demaret

• 46 degree – Herman Keiser – 1946 Masters champ

• 42 degree (9-iron) – Jackie

• 38 degree (8-iron) – The 8-ball

• 34 degree (7-iron) – Tin Cup

• 6-iron – Juniper – In honour of the sixth hole at Augusta

• 5-iron – Azalea – In honour of his favourite par-5 at Augusta

• 3-iron – Gamma – The third letter of the Greek alphabet.

We're loving Bryson and work. He's certainly not afraid to be different!
