As short-game expert and former PGA Tour winner Parker McLachlin explains in our video, more and more players, notably Collin Morikawa and Scottie Scheffler, are making some changes in their bunker technique.
Scheffler won the Memorial Tournament and enters this week’s US Open at Pinehurst as the first player since Tom Watson in 1980 to have five wins on the PGA Tour before America’s national championship.
It will take a special type of belief to look at the congested PGA Championship leaderboard and think your name will be the one above the rest. So the question is, what do these players believe?
This was a week of attrition, and while others were worn down by the course and the wind or the significance of what they were trying to chase, the unassuming superstar was undeterred by his surroundings, in command of his game and of himself. For that, Scheffler earned his second Masters title.
With cameras rolling, Morikawa stammered out something he probably shouldn’t have; something that, if true, probably says a lot about the state of US team golf in November 2023.
Why should everyday players care about how tour players are blending their sets? More than the actual clubs, the takeaway is that every single club in your bag should serve a purpose.
Morikawa snapped his winless streak in his last official tour start of ’23, created tremendous confidence heading into the new year, and cemented his standing as yet another hero in Japan golf.
