Jason Day won using a full bag of TaylorMade equipment this week at Whistling Straits. Our 97th PGA Champion absolutely bombed it off the tee with his R15, while he was holing putts for fun with his Spider Mallet.
We at GolfPunkHQ have tremendous pleasure in announcing the winners of our massive prize draw.
It was what Jim Ross would call a "slobber knocker" of a day at Whistling Straights as birdies were banged in left, right and centre. It was a battle royal for the top spot, fought for ferociously, with the lead changing from one moment to the next.
So Shane Lowry shot an awesome 66 final round to win the Bridgestone Invitational. Srixon sponsored, he uses the companies irons, fairways, and balls plus sister company Cleveland's 588 wedges.
It was Danny Lee who was the first round leader with a sensational five under par 65. The New Zealander mixed seven birdies with two bogeys to top the leaderboard. After already winning the Greenbrier Classic last month the in form 25 year old looks like could go all the way and win his first World Golf Championship at Firstone Country Club.
Given the length and par combination, it doesn’t take much of a genius to work out there are some long par 4’s round the South Course at Firestone, and length off the tee is certainly important. That said, when scrolling through the database, the archives actually point to more of a rounded stats player as well as the good old “bomber” type.
A scintillating last day at the Ricoh Women's British Open saw Inbee Park triumph over the Ailsa course at Turnberry. Her final round 65 was a joint course record.
So we all got a little carried away didn’t we as today we saw Tiger in full reverse gear, dropping 3 shots to end the day at 5 under, tied 42nd.
Trusting Callaway since his days as a highly tipped Amateur, Danny Lee used the Carlsbad based manufacturers equipment throughout his bag to win The Greenbrier Classic.
To quote Verne Lundquist, and the greatest piece of golf commentary of all time, “Oh, WOW! IN YOUR LIFE, have you seen anything like that?!”. And you know what Verne, we haven’t.
