The Vertex Bank Championship’s first-round leader opened with a 13-under 58, tying the KFT record for low score relative to par and tying the record for the second-lowest 18-hole score. Two weeks ago, at the KFT’s Club Car Championship, he made the switch from a competitive driver to a Titleist TSR3 model, en route to his then-best finish of the year (T9). He finished T8 the following week at the LECOM Suncoast Classic, before Thursday’s 58 in Texas. After rounds of 67-67-68, he posted 24 under and locked up a solo 4th-place finish. He also plays a Titleist Pro V1 golf ball, Vokey Design wedges and a Scotty Cameron putter.

Faced with a dangerous pitch left of the green on the par-5 18th, he pulled his Vokey lob wedge and hit it to 3 feet for the lead-tying birdie in Sunday’s alternate-shot format.
On the first playoff hole, the World No. 2 also used his Vokey 58.06K from a front bunker, setting up the tournament-winning par.
The winner of the JM Eagle LA Championship used a NEW Scotty Cameron Phantom 5s putter in claiming her fifth LPGA victory by three shots. The champ, in just her second week with the new Phantom model, needed just 27 putts during her final round, including a 25-footer for eagle from the fringe on the par-5 15th to help seal the victory. She also played a Titleist TSR2 21.0 fairway metal.
The winner of the ISPS Handa Championship earned his maiden DP World Tour victory this week on home soil with 10 Titleist clubs in the bag, including a TSR2 driver, blended set of T150 and T100 irons and three Vokey wedges. The champion shot a final round 63 to post 17 under and win by three.
