Bryson DeChambeau gaming single-length Cobra irons

Published

on

No. 1 amateur in the world and reigning U.S. Amateur Champion Bryson DeChambeau, who has been gaming a set of single length Edel irons (see those clubs here), was spotted with a same-length set of Cobra King Forged MB irons for the first time at the 19th annual Georgia Cup on Tuesday, according to Golfweek’s David Dusek.

DeChambeau is in the field for the Masters next week (thanks to the U.S. Am win), and reportedly plans to turn pro following the competition. Much has been made of his recent West Coast trip to visit OEMs, with the smart money betting he’d sign with Cobra.

This would seem to confirm that speculation, and it’s interesting as well that the SMU star is putting new irons in play a week before the Masters.

According to Dusek: the irons are “Cobra King Forged MB irons (3, 5-PW, with KBS C-Taper Lite 115 X shafts) are all 37.5 inches long, the same length as a standard 6-iron. Each head weighs 280 grams and has a lie angle of 73.5 degrees.”

Cobra’s Tour rep, Ben Schomin, personally oversaw the set’s construction. Each iron was bent 10 to 12 degrees more upright to DeChambeau’s specs. The soles were ground to his preference, and tungsten plugs were added to the toes of several of the irons. DeChambeau reportedly had a set of King Forged CB irons made to the same specifications as the MBs.

“It took our machinist a day to (add the tungsten weight to) each 3-iron,” Schomin said. “One to do the CB (3-iron) and one day to do the MB (3-iron). And then three more solid days to complete the other irons.”

In the wedge department, DeChambeau is gaming Cobra Tour Trusty 50-, 55- and 60-degree wedges with KBS High-Rev 130 shafts.

And not that it’s a referendum on the new clubs, but DeChambeau lost his Georgia Cup match 4&3 to British Amateur champion, Romain Langasque.

    Mde a set myself about 1985. Found out that length loss more of a problem than loft loss. Gave up on ’em after 2 tournament rounds

    why? because you think the idea of single lenth irons is crazy so you poke fun?

      I think it’s called sarcasm. Some get it, some don’t.

    I love all the this is fake talk on here…a simple google search shows a story published the day before this one…research people. It all makes sense when you look at his Edel irons and all the lie angles of them. A single length set is very different than the traditional staggered set. At times I really questions people on here and how much they really pay attention to whats going on before they just jump on here and start leaving messages that bash anyone not doing what they do.

    He is getting ready to turn Pro, Cobra is probably his new sponsor. I think it is real, those spec’s are like the Edel irons he plays.

    I love how everyone thinks this is an April fools joke post when in fact it is completely factual.

    so his 60* is the same length as his 6 iron?

    Got to be a joke…each iron bent 10-12* up!!!!

      Have you actually done any research on single length irons?

        That’s not due to the single length concept, it his single plane swing.

    If this is real, it’s weakly written. If it’s fake, it’s a crappy jab at Cobra. Either way, more sub-par stuff.

    He also dropped his putter and started using his hybrid to putt. When asked why he only wanted to carry 13 clubs, he replied, “I like to live dangerously.”

    Say it ain’t so Bryson DeChambeau! This has got to be a foolsday joke right?!? If not it’s rather sad. Those Edel sticks were so sweet.

    Is this real, or a joke? I can’t tell…

Tour Tech Rundown: Heroic Henley

Published

on

Around the world, the golf wheel spun this final week in May of 2026. From New Jersey to Austria, with stops in Korea, Texas, and North Carolina (don’t let me route your next trip) the world’s finest put their golf games on display. There were three playoffs, some known commodities and some new talent. It was the sort of week that we hope to have at this point in the seasons. June and July afford double-digit major events, and perhaps, one of this week’s champions will use this success as a springboard to new heights. Time to run it all down, tech style, in this week’s Tour Tech Rundown.

Thanks to WITBHub, Today’s Golfer, GolfWRX, and Inside Tour Golf for initial research into equipment.

PGA Tour @ Charles Schwab Challenge: Heroic Henley denies Cole

Eric Cole did nearly everything that a fellow can do, to secure a first PGA Tour title. He stayed one shot clear of Ryder Cup player Ben Griffin. He kept US Open champion Gary Woodland and wunderkind Michael Brennan two shots distant. He posted 70 on day four to reach twelve under par. And then, Russell Henley revealed his Dr. Strange cloak. Henley made 47 feet of birdie putts on holes 16, 17, and 18, to jump from minus-nine to twelve-deep, and secured a spot in a playoff with Cole. The duo returned to the final tee, and put on a stripe show.

Both golfers found the fairway off the tee, and Henley improved on his regulation play with an approach to four feet. Cole did himself proud, tucking an iron to a dozen feet, but he was unable to convert the putt for three. Henley is one of the best putters on tour, and he proved it once more by draining a putt for a fourth consecutive birdie, and a sixth PGA Tour title. For Eric Cole, that first victory should come, and soon. He has done everything necessary to earn the chalice lift.

LPGA @ Shoprite LPGA: Welcome back, Celine!

Soo Bin Joo had her eyes on a maiden LPGA title. She held the lead after two rounds, then hit a red light at the intersection of can-I and how-To. Joo posted plus-two on day three in New Jersey, and dropped to a T4 finish, which was still a career-best for the young Korean golfer. Instead of a new face, a familiar face returned to the top of the podium.

Celine Boutier was the It Girl in 2023. She collected four victories, including a major title at Evian. Boutier reached world number one status, then simply faded into the background. No wins came her way over the next 30 months. On Sunday, she collected LPGA victory number seven, at the same trace as LPGA victory number two.

Day three saw Boutier manage the windswept Seaview Bay course with six birdies and a bogey. She was challenged in the end by Thailand’s Arpichaya Yubol, who signed for a 66 of her own. Yubol came up one shot shy of the top ladder rung. Finishing in third place at -7, two back of the winner, was Ireland’s Lauren Walsh.

Celine’s Suitcase

DP World Tour @ Austrian Alpine: KK? KK!

Kota Kaneko has a rhythmic name. It has strong vowels and a run of voiceless stops in its crunchy K sounds. On Sunday in Austria, Kaneko put a stop to a challenge from Portugal’s Ricardo Gouveia and everyone else, and claimed a first-ever title on the DP World Tour. Gouveia did well to reach 16-under par over four days, but Kaneko held firm, two shots in the clear.

Davis Bryant of the USA also forged a strong challenge for the win. He ended in a tie with Gouveia for second place. Kaneko began and finished his final round in a bit of a malaise, but he caught fire midway through. Birdies at 10, 12, and 13 provided the necessary cushion to cruise to the finish line without breaking a serious sweat.

Kaneko’s Suitcase

  • Driver: Ping Max G440
  • Metals: TaylorMade Qi4D at 15, 16.5, 21, and 24 degrees
  • Irons: TaylorMade P760 5 and 6 irons
  • Irons: TaylorMade P7TW 7-9 irons
  • Wedges: Titleist Vokey Design at 46, 52, 56, and 60 degrees
  • Putter: Odyssey Ai-One Cruiser Arm Lock #7

Korn Ferry Tour @ UNC Health Championship: Improbably Alvaro

Alvaro Ortiz may have had a bit of scare on the outward nine on Sunday, but he came through in clutch fashion in the end. Ortiz began the day bogey-double, and added another double bogey at the 11th hole. He was mired in a downward trend, spiraling away from the top of the leader’s board. Ortiz found hope at the 14th, where his first birdie of the day tumbled home. Inspired, he closed with birdies and 17 and 18 to catch Ross Steelman at 10-under par, and the duo returned to the 18th deck for overtime.

The extra session concluded in brief time. Ortiz, buoyed by his newly-retrieved confidence, hit the fairway with driver, then approached to six feet and drained the putt. Gobsmacked, Steelman could do little more than smile and applaud, as his run at the top came to a close. The victory was the first for Ortiz on the KFT, and will implant him squarely in the chase for a PGA Tour promotion.

Alvaro’s Suitcase

  • Driver: Ping G430 MAX driver at 9 degrees loft
  • Metal: Ping G430 MAX 3W
  • Iron: Ping iDi Driving Iron
  • Irons: Ping Blueprint S irons
  • Wedges
  • Putter: Scottsdale TR Piper C

LIV @ Korea: Me llamo Joaquin

Chile’s Joaquin Niemann had been away from the LIV winner’s circle throughout all of 2026. This week in Korea, he reminded us that he is still a force to consider. Niemann chased down Taylor Gooch over the closing holes at Asiad Country Club, then claimed victory with a hole-one birdie in extra time. Bryson DeChambeau claimed solo third, one shot in arrears at minus-eleven. Dustin Johnson finished on fourth, one putt farther back.

Niemann’s Suitcase

  • Driver: Ping 440 LST
  • Metal: Ping G440 Max at 15 degrees
  • Metal: Ping G425 Max at 21 degrees
  • Hybrid: Ping G430 at 25 degrees
