PGA CHAMPION MAKES IT FIVE MAJORS WITH A SCOTTY CAMERON PUTTER

The winner of the PGA Championship gamed a Scotty Cameron putter in winning the season’s major for his fifth major title – all five of them with a Scotty Cameron Newport 2 model.

Sunday’s victory was his first major playing his current gamer, a  Scotty Cameron T22 Newport 2 tour prototype , a modern Newport 2 head with a Teryllium alloy inlay, which he also used to win the 2021 Waste Management Phoenix Open.

For the week, he averaged 26 putts per round at Oak Hill, the fewest of any player in the field. On Sunday, he was a perfect 3-for-3 from 4 to 8 feet (and 12 for 15 from that distance for the week). He did not register a three-putt over the 72 holes.

He won his previous four majors playing a  Scotty Cameron T10 Newport 2 tour prototype, which also featured a Teryllium insert.

LOW PGA CLUB PRO PLAYS NEW PRO V1, MAKES SUNDAY ACE

The Low Club Professional at the 2023 PGA Championship gamed a  NEW Titleist Pro V1 golf ball in shooting rounds of 70-70-70-71 to finish tied for 15th (+1), automatically qualifying for next year’s PGA Championship at Valhalla.

It marked the best finish for a PGA Professional at the event since 1986 (T11).

The Low Club Pro closed out the week with perhaps the shot of tournament, sending his Pro V1 straight into the cup on the 151-yard par-3 15th hole for a slam-dunk ace.

It was the first and only hole-in-one of the week, and the first at a PGA Championship since Byeong Hun-An's ace during the final round of 2020 (par-3 11th at TPC Harding Park).

To close out the week, he got up-and-down for par from a difficult position in the rough about 30 yards left of the 18th green, hitting his Pro V1 to 7 feet, 6 inches and draining the par putt. For the week, he finished 13th in Scrambling (18/29).
