Roundup: "Unique" DeChambeau Wins NCAA Individual Title

It's a word we're all probably guilty of overusing, but unique fits NCAA Men's 2015 Individual champion Bryson DeChambeau.

While the round took a while to get going after the emotions of last week's women's matches and then a weather delay, DeChambeau's clutch finish held off a late charge by Washington's Cheng-Tsung Pan to make for an exciting conclusion to the individual title.

College golf gave a good impression as well, dispelling the sense of a homogenous group with some very "unique" (homegrown) swings, a diversity of playing styles and no shortage of push carts (Cameron Wilson you trendsetter you!).

But the champion in his Payne Stewart-homage cap and 35-inch shaft set of clubs was the Monday story before the final eight teams head to match play Tuesday (10:30 am ET and 3:30 pm ET live coverage windows. Golfweek's bracket match listings and picks. Jeff Babineau on Georgia's clutch play.)

Ryan Lavner at GolfChannel.com on DeChambeau's individuality.

It’s probably obvious to any viewer that the SMU junior does things his own way.

He majors in physics.

He wears a Ben Hogan-style hat.

He uses a push cart.

He employs something called Vector Putting, which takes into account length of putt, percentage of slope and speed of the green.

Art Stricklin posted this Global Golf Post column on the winner and the thinking behind his irons all at 7-iron length, and the industry views against his theory. Fun stuff. There was also this Golfweek staff report from February on Bryson worth a look and Brentley Romine filed this "what's in the bag."

There was this nice Twitter trending page of photos and other Tweets.

And DeChambeau unveiled this dont-try-this-at-home trick shot on the range, as Tweeted by Adam Schupak. Golfweek also posted this photo gallery.
