Joel Dahmen’s profile received a heightened spotlight thanks to a weekend pairing with Tiger Woods. The 30-year-old journeyman grabbed attention for a different reason Sunday night.
Mike Davis and the USGA have taken their share of body blows for losing Shinnecock Hills, again, at this year’s US Open. Judging by Tiger Woods’ roundabout jab on Sunday, those punches aren’t stopping anytime soon.
Although some 20 percent of the US PGA Tour might change putters on any given week, Woods has not been particularly fickle with his flat stick, save for a little back and forth between his Cameron and a Nike Method 003 mid-mallet in 2011 before settling on a Nike Method 001 blade that was similar to his Cameron.
Molinari uses a split set of irons, using TaylorMade’s P790 for his 4-iron, while the rest of his irons are the company’s P750 model with True Temper’s Dynamic Gold X100 steel shafts.
We’re not prone to hyperbole, but it’s clear history will remember this shot as greater than his chip-ins at the 2005 Masters and 2012 Memorial combined.
