DeChambeau Brings New 3D-Printed Irons to Open After 3 Missed Major Cuts

Summary
Bryson DeChambeau arrives at Royal Birkdale with a new set of 3D-printed irons, a late equipment change before the Open Championship after missing the cut in all 3 majors this year.
Those struggles sharpen the pressure at a tournament that has long troubled him: in 8 Open starts on links setups, he has missed 3 cuts and posted a best finish of T8.
Nick Faldo, a 3-time Open champion, said DeChambeau has "zero clue of strategy" on links golf, while Brandel Chamblee questioned whether his focus has shifted from elite competition to YouTube golf.
The Open also lands amid wider uncertainty over DeChambeau's future, with his LIV contract running through this year and his leverage clouded by the league's financial strain.
