Bryson DeChambeau has revealed he cracked his 4-utility iron in the final round of The Players Championship.
DeChambeau confirmed the crack happened just moments after incredibly topping a drive 100 yards into the water on the par-4 4th hole.
The American took his drop onto the tee box, and then sent his next shot with his utility iron way right of the green en route to a double-bogey six. It was on that third shot where the crack happened, according to DeChambeau.
"My 4-utility iron cracked," said DeChambeau, who went on to finish two shots behind eventual winner Justin Thomas in a tie for third.
"I looked at the bottom of the thing. I couldn't use it all day. It sounded really weird and just came off horrifically, and I'm like, oh, and there's a line in the bottom of the club."
DeChambeau, who is sponsored by Cobra Golf, uses a KING Utility prototype, which is a hollow construction like most other utility clubs seen on the market. They are designed in a way to provide face flex, just like your driver.
But when you swing as hard and fast as DeChambeau, who now has a clubhead speed bordering the 150mph mark, it would appear that no club face is safe in the hands of the PGA Tour's biggest hitter.
