PGA Tour caddie prompts suggestion Bryson DeChambeau may have broken rules during US Open win

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Veteran PGA Tour caddie Kip Henley has called on Bryson DeChambeau's rivals to ask the USGA whether he was breaking the rules during his US Open triumph The 30-year-old held a three-shot advantage over contenders Rory McIlroy, Patrick Cantlay and Matthieu Pavon as they entered the pivotal round at Pinehurst.

To Henley's trained eye, however, DeChambeau's putter shaft seemed to be vertical, raising questions as to whether it leaned away from the head sufficiently.

Henley conveyed his suspicion that PGA Tour players have unknowingly utilised non-conforming clubs in the past. He further pointed out that the USGA would need a search warrant to inspect the specifications of DeChambeau's controversial putter.

"The shaft has to lean away from the head at least 10 degrees.

It sure looks vertical. Not being a d*** or hate him at all, but it is a rule." The post came not even 20 minutes after Henley had shared a photo pointing out the empty seats on show as DeChambeau concluded his round. "Desham is having a cool Open, but look how many open seats!" "Wonder how many open seats you could find if The Big Tig had this lead you could find." But it was the later post that went viral on Sunday night.
