Ariya Jutanugarn has made playing without a driver fashionable. And as you might expect from someone who has 12 clubs that are irons or wedges in her bag, it was those clubs that propelled her to her second major title at the US Women’s Open.
Viewed by some as a better, simpler way to play and by others as a gimmick, DeChambeau’s Cobra utility irons, King Forged irons and King wedges all are 37.5 inches in length, about that of a 7-iron.
During a solid opening-round 69 on Thursday at TPC Sawgrass, Scott averaged 297.0 yards off the tee and hit 57.14 percent of his fairways. Not bad considering Scott currently ranks 120th on tour in driving accuracy.
