An anatomy of Bryson DeChambeau’s office/lab/superhero hideout

In the immortal words of Mugatu, Hansel is so hot right now, and by Hansel we obviously mean Bryson DeChambeau, who has set the simmering world of professional golf ablaze with his pyrotechnic process, Date Mike-approved headwear, and, of course, actual play. To make matters even steamier, on Wednesday Bryson gave us a glimpse behind the curtain, tantalizing the golf masses with this rare photo of his top secret man cave (AKA “where the magic happens”).
FacebookPinterestAnd while Bryson already beat us to the annotation punch (typical Bryson!), we peel ed back the layers of this one-of-a-kind onion anyway, hoping to see what we could learn about the most eligible majors bachelor in golf. As it turns out, we uncovered more than we could even believe (no seriously, don't believe any of this).
It all begins here, in the captain's chair of the U.S.S. Enterprise…

After cruising to a win at last year's event with PGA Tour partner Kevin Streelman, some, including us, questioned how many strokes the Arizona Cardinals star was getting. Fitzgerald's handicap index was listed at 10.6, which got bumped up to a 13 course handicap for the tournament. That seemed pretty generous for a guy capable of doing things like this:

And this year, despite a recent hole-in-one while playing with Barack Obama, Fitzgerald's handicap had actually managed to go up to a 10.8 index. However, hi..

The long arm of Augusta National, apparently not to be reckoned with, recently extended all the way to a small fishing village near the southern tip of England, on the English Channel, the Daily Mail reported.
On the last weekend of the year, every year since 1992, “two dozen pub pals,” as the Daily Mail explained it, tee it up at Mullion Golf Club in what was called the Coverack Masters. The winner received a green jacket, “presented in a pub over a pint or two on a cold December day,” the Cornwall News reported.
Note the past tense.
Augusta National, according to the Daily Mail and other news outlets, sent a letter to the club, informing it that was breaching copyrights for using the terms “Masters” and “green jacket” in the context of a golf tournament.
“Club secretary Ray Griffiths is said to have passed the letter on to Coverack Masters organiser Ryan Retallack,” the Daily ..

Watch Rory McIlroy try to hit TPC Sawgrass’ island green with every club in his bag

The challenge/horror of trying to hit TPC Sawgrass' famed island green at the Players should intensify with the event moving back to March. What usually plays as a pitching wedge or less for the best golfers in the world will likely demand more club choices in windier and chillier (OK, so it's still Florida and not the polar vortex most of the country recently had to deal with) conditions. And Rory McIlroy recently got a head start on his preparation.

McIlroy made an attempt with 13 different clubs (Everything except his putter) and wound up hitting the green four times on a hole he estimates was playing about 150 yards. McIlroy's most impressive shot? A baby cut with his 3-wood that managed to stay on the putting surface. Check it out:

Tony Romo plays golf with hand-me-down clubs from Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth

Harry HowWith a first Super Bowl under his belt, Tony Romo can now focus on what's really important: golf season.
The CBS analyst/human play-call predictor is teeing it up at this week's Pebble Beach Pro-Am. That isn't earth-shattering news considering this will be the sixth time Romo has played in the event since 2010, but what might surprise people is that the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback turned accomplished celebrity golfer has a couple hand-me-down clubs in his golf bag. Of course, they're not exactly what you'd find in a discount bin at a sporting goods store.

PGATour.com's Andrew Tursky did a deep dive into Romo's golf equipment on Tuesday and while gear geeks will be more interested to know what type of shaft the 38-year-old has in his fairway woods, the real attention getters are a 60-degree Vokey wedge he got from Jordan Spieth and a Nike Method putter i..
