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.
Despite the trouble guarding so many of the greens at PGA National’s Champion course, Kirk managed to hit 54 of 72 greens to rank T-7 for the week, while posting a strokes gained/approach mark of 7.643 strokes gained on the field to rank second.
Aaron Rodgers teamed with his PGA Tour player partner Ben Silverman to win the pro-am portion of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am at 26 under par with these TaylorMade clubs:
The second iteration of the e12 Contact employs a “Contact Force” dimple that features a raised area in the centre that results in more contact with the clubface at impact than traditional dimples.
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.
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.
As rumoured for a couple of weeks, Brooke Henderson has formally agreed to a multiyear contract with TaylorMade to play its clubs, ball and use a TaylorMade staff bag. The signing comes on the heels of the company inking another LPGA star, Nelly Korda, earlier in the week. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Kim’s irons are Callaway’s X-Forged CB, a cavity-back players iron, which he used to rank first in the field in strokes gained/approach-the-green, picking up more than eight shots on the field.
Callaway has unveiled new ball offerings covering a wide range of price and performance levels, specifically the new ERC Soft and lower-priced Warbird models.
Four new Srixon Z-series irons aim to give different classes of players help with the things that matter to them most while still providing a fairly classic shape that all demand.
Ping’s long-awaited follow up to its G425 irons brings extra yards through a heat-treatment process that strengthens the 17-4 stainless-steel clubhead.
