2017 Quicken Loans National: Photos and Discussion

[atursky]

GolfWRX is live this week from the 2017 Quicken Loans National at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm in Potomac, Maryland. The course -- which re-opened in 2009 after a two-year, $20 million overhaul -- will play as a 7,139-yard par-70 for the event. The Tiger Woods Foundation is the host of the Quicken Loans National, although Tiger Woods himself will not be in attendance as he is seeking professional help following a DUI arrest in May.

 

Headlining the field this week are Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas, who are ranked No. 9 and No. 12 in the Official World Golf Rankings, respectively. Also in the field are Si Woo Kim, the 2017 Players Champion, former major champions Jimmy Walker, Lucas Glover and Keegan Bradley, as well as notables Wesley Bryan, Kevin Chappell, Bryson DeChambeau, Tony Finau, Bill Haas, J.B. Holmes, Billy Horschel, Kevin Na, Patrick Reed and Boo Weekly, among others.

 

Last year, Billy Hurley III won by three strokes over Vijay Singh and by four strokes over Haas and Jon Rahm.

Robert Garrigus seems to playing with a limited set of clubs. His caddy will appreciate that. :-)

[Jordan Speeth]

Whose Taylormade bag full of Srixons was that, Allenby?

I think it is Brian Gay.

What is the black tape on the back of DA points wedges for? He has i5 in low irons so not a 14 club deal?

 

Greg - any chance of a few more g400 crossover pics if you can nab them?

[Bunker2Bunker]

So... What effect does the "thumbprint" grind have? Or is it more of a cosmetic thing?

When did fluff start carrying for Lucas Glover?

What percent of Titleist guys that were testing the new irons will actually put them in play this week?

I'd guess more than 50%. I'm sure Titleist will post the number once the Darrell Survey is out.

I'll probably be there on the weekend...

[g_winner]

Is Reed ever gonna switch to the Epic driver or is gonna keep his 816?

[ladahl]

Interested in the "tech" differences between the 716 TMB and the 718 version -

 

Seems like more guys are trying them this time around - specifically in the scoring irons.

 

Had the 716 TMBs (4-Gap) and absolutely loved them. WRX nudged me towards the PXGs though

[BIG STU]

That wedge in the opening picture looks like one of my creations. In fact a buddy of mine that surfs WRX called me last night and asked who broke into my shop and had one of my wedges on Tour this week?
