ORLANDO, Fla. -- Arnold Palmer might have given Bryson DeChambeau a few quizzical looks. He might have wondered about DeChambeau's single-length irons and the wild diet and all the talk about science. Surely, he would have made fun of the Ben Hogan cap.
But the late namesake of the tournament DeChambeau won Sunday at Palmer's beloved Bay Hill Club would have undoubtedly given his signature thumbs-up to the way the reigning U.S. Open champion is going about playing the game.
Palmer would have loved the bravado. He would have loved the brawn. He would have loved the brashness.
