Apparently, when golfers need some specialized accessories, it’s a good thing to have Bryson DeChambeau in the field.
Why? Because on the True Temper Tour Truck this week, the only Tour truck on-site for the Ryder Cup, DeChambeau had stashed a “first-aid kit” of anything a golfer could possibly need for his gear.
And as GOLF’s Fully Equipped co-host Johnny Wunder revealed on this week’s podcast, that almost came in handy for Matt Fitzpatrick at Bethpage Black.
Earlier in the week, Wunder was on the True Temper truck when someone came in looking for a spike for Fitzpatrick. With no other trucks available, the True Temper truck is the only place to get everything from re-gripping to golf shoe cleats.
“True Temper’s Connor [Olsen] was on the truck, and Connor opened up the Bryson Golf first-aid kit, which is a suitcase with gloves and tees,” Wunder said. “So he had bags of spikes. So Connor’s pulling out spikes.”
DeChambeau changes his spikes often, so he had bags of spikes in the suitcase that also had things like gloves, towels, wrenches and grips. It was lucky because Fitzpatrick and DeChambeau both use the Champ Pro Stinger spike, but the issue was that Fitzpatrick had four pairs of golf shoes that needed fresh spikes.
Olsen was worried DeChambeau wouldn’t be happy if Fitzpatrick took four sets of spikes from the handy kit.
Luckily, Wunder had his own backup plan to call SoftSpikes Tour rep Charles Woodward.
“I called him, I said, ‘Charlie, I need two sets of nails for some Skechers from Matt’s Fitzpatrick and I need them delivered tomorrow,’” Wunder said of the call on Wednesday. “And they showed up today at Fitz’s hotel.”
Fitzpatrick didn’t end up taking from DeChambeau’s stash, but it’s still wild to think about how much stuff DeChambeau travels with for emergency situations like this.
