Bryson DeChambeau: Has he found the HOLY GRAIL? Padraig Harrington thinks so
The two-time Open champion has been speaking to the PGA Tour podcast.
Padraig Harrington has made a career out of flopping his way into our hearts with his marvelous short game.
It has won him multiple titles around the globe including two Open championships back-to-back from 2007.
He has been described as "the ultimate tinkerer" and there's no doubt he thinks about the game in incredible detail.
His instructional videos on his YouTube channel cater for low, mid and high handicap golfers.
One other person who thinks about the game in intricate ways is Bryson DeChambeau.

DeChambeau, 28, has transcended the game in many ways with his approach to trying to obtain power, speed and distance.
Now when you tune into golf coverage on television you will undoubtedly see players who place a premium with distance over ball striking.
DeChambeau clearly wants both. Harrington, 50, recently joined the SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio to offer his thoughts:
"If he does play his best, he really does have an advantage"

Harrington said:
"The Holy Grail for any golfer is to be able to walk up on the tee and only worry about their game for the week, not worried how anyone else is playing.
“If (DeChambeau) does play his best, he really does have an advantage.
"What is interesting is that's gonna be a dime a dozen in 10 year's time. If you go on your social media, there's kids 16, 17 years of age who are cruising at 200 mph ball speed.
"Eventually, some of them — there's gonna be 10 of them, 20 of them, 30 of them on Tour in 15 year's time, 10 year’s time. Some of them are going to be really good players.
"Not just being able to hit the golf ball. It's tough to beat one Bryson DeChambeau, but it's really tough to beat 30 of them if you're not one of them."
