Bulked-up Bryson DeChambeau is trying to reinvent golf

Sitting at 22-under par with a three-shot, final-round lead, Bryson DeChambeau stepped up to the 18th tee at the Detroit Golf Club. At that point, about the only thing that could defeat him was arrogance.

Conventional golfing wisdom said to grab a three-wood and play it safe by playing for par. Just whack a nice little drive down the middle and go collect your check.

DeChambeau is allergic to conventional wisdom though. So, naturally, he grabbed his driver and uncorked his massive frame into the ball. It sizzled an astounding 366 yards down the fairway. Two shots later, he birdied to clinch victory in the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
