After a rough first round atAugusta NationalThursday, Bryson DeChambeau did not appear too pleased when he was asked about his 3D-printed 5-iron.

The two-time U.S.Open champion had an eventful first round at the Masters,hitting a patron with a tee shoton the sixth hole before taking three separate bunker shots on the 11th.

After the round, he had to face the media, and he was asked about the process of making his special club other than the driver.

DeChambeau said it’s roughly a “day-and-a-half” process to makea club,so when he was asked if he “would want to” go through the process of making another one, it was a hard no.

“Pfft, no.It has to be USGA-conforming.There’s a whole process you have to go through,” he said.

It’s a club he built himself.

“There’s this nature that I have about myself where innovation is a habit of mine, and I really find and take pride in that ability to learn — even through failure, even through making a bad decision or a good decision — what I can get from that,” he told ESPN.

“We’ll see where it goes.We’ll see where it takes me.All I could say now is, if I don’t put them in the bag, it’s my fault now.”

DeChambeau said after the round that he only used the club once on Thursday.

Last year, DeChambeau was in the final group of the Masters alongside eventual winner Rory McIlroy.The two were paired together to end the prior year’s U.S.Open as well, which DeChambeau won in part due to bad putting by McIlroy and a forever-remembered up-and-down by DeChambeau from the bunker on 18 at Pinehurst No.2.

But DeChambeau could not find similar success Thursday after shooting a 4-over 76, putting himself in danger of missing the cut.
