The Danish tour pro wielded a full bag of Ping clubs on his way to defeating Cameron Smith in a last-hole thriller. While his exceptional putting on the slick and sinister Royal Melbourne greens was the highlight, his tee-to-green game was also at its peak for all four rounds.
And that all-world up-and-down on the 72nd hole? Credit his Ping S259 lob wedge and Ping PLD Oslo Proto putter for the par save that broke Smith’s heart – and gave Neergaard-Petersen his first Stonehaven Cup.
What Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen had in the bag at the Crown Australian Open:
Ball: Titleist Pro V1 (2023)
Driver: Ping G440 LST (9 degrees)
3-wood: Ping G440 Max (15 degrees)
5-wood: Ping G440 Max (19 degrees)
