Bryson DeChambeau:

"The first time I met him was actually for the Walker Cup, one of our practice sessions. We went up to Latrobe, Pennsylvania and got to meet him and have dinner with him and interact with him and hear some great stories that he’s had throughout his life and it was quite an incredible experience to meet a legend of the game."

Bryson DeChambeau, who’s at the earliest stage of what promises to be a fine pro career, is only of many young players Palmer embraced and welcomed into the game.
