Moore was so out of the picture that he wasn’t asked for any interviews by the tour during the week save for what would turn out to be his winner’s press conference.
Kurt Kitayama had suffered one-shot defeats in the past year to stars such as Jon Rahm, Xander Schauffele and Rory McIlroy, so it was fitting that Kitayama flipped the script for his first PGA Tour win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational to hold off a star-studded leaderboard to win a wild one at Bay Hill.
Rahm’s driver is the same Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond model he used for the first time in competition two weeks ago en route to victory at the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii.
The three new Mizuno ST230 drivers make a big push forward towards improving ball speed and optimising launch conditions with a lot of light carbon composite and a little bit of heavy steel.
Mizuno’s latest wedge offering is forged from mild 1025 carbon steel and features a back-cavity area designed to move the centre of gravity more towards the centre of the face.
TaylorMade expands its Spider line-up to include a new high-stability mallet, the GTx, and the GT Max, an oversize mallet with adjustable weights on its parallel arms that change the centre of gravity’s distance from the face to make it feel, swing and perform like multiple putters in one.
