Rickie Fowler and Bryson were both shocked by what happened:

The shaft just snapped off at the head as he leaned on it to pick up his tee. Maybe adding 50 pounds of bulk over the last year actually does have a downside.
I'll say this about Bryson, he's not boring. Every time the guy steps on a course its a three-ring circus.
DeChambeau got another shaft and put the club back together. He apparently brought three extra shafts and also had two backup drivers in his car. The man came prepared. He's -2 through seven.
Twitter was obviously loving the moment. Here are some of the best reactions after it happened:
For what it’s worth, I did the same thing at the driving range about six months ago. Bryson and I are clearly golfing equals. pic.twitter.com/lQKaJe1yH5

To be fair, Bryson is used to picking up clubs scattered all over the yard. pic.twitter.com/HrNb2AzAxC

Seems about right. Brooks is already planning his next subtle message that's not really that subtle. pic.twitter.com/jLfkowjEyB
