AUGUSTA — Hideki Matsuyama was admiring Bryson DeChambeau’s custom driver on the par-5 8th hole at Augusta National on Thursday like any muni hacker would gaze at a friend's shiny new gear. Matsuyama rotated DeChambeau's driver in his hand, admired every angle and grinned while handing it back to his playing partner.
DeChambeau was still tinkering with which driver head he would play with on the eve of the Masters, and he remains so today even after leading the field in driving distance by more than 15 yards in the first round, at 340.5 yards per crack.
