i wonder if he'll keep the new 2.0 3 wood in play after today. He hit it about 3 times and 2 of them were bad hooks on 10, his only bad shots. Maybe he's not quite used to it yet? He still looked pretty much unstoppable, could have had 6 birds and an eagle on last 7 holes if not for missing the hole by a few inches a couple times. I don't think he missed a drive all day

He used it far more than 3 times. He was crushing it off the tee and didn't miss a fairway with it. But yeah, the two times he used it off the deck was on the 10th and those were nasty hooks. It was very peculiar to see him rush his provisional on the 10th. I think if he took a bit more time with it he may not have hooked it again.

He just stuck his 5 wood from 240 to 10 feet but missed the eagle. Fantastic shot anyways!

How many times have you guys seen this today?

This kid is just a beast. I've been watching him progress over the years, and my goodness. When he steps on the throttle everyone else is playing for second. His power and artistry is something I haven't seen in a loooong time.

If he gets paid every time that commercial comes on, he might make more money from Omega this weekend than if he wins the tourney

The kid can play.

Three straight tourneys, including 2 majors... Oh my. Rory was never this hot with his old equipment. Maybe I need to get some Nike gear.

At the beginning of the year. Rory wanted to win two majors since he didn't win any in 2013.

Target Achieved.

Agreed on all accounts. But still, Nike is putting out some insanely good products these days. Hopefully all the Rory wins get some more folks to try their gear.

[Lesmond]

I don't know, man. Nike makes toy clubs. I don't know how Rory won with them. Must be magic?

Especially the new ball and driver combo.

Does anyone know if he uses mid sized grips?

[Techgolfer1]

Any idea what lofts his 4 and 5 iron are? If he's jumping from a 24 degree 4 iron to a 19 degree 5 wood, that's a huge gap. I bet that 5 wood goes 30-40 yards longer than the 4 iron.

His lofts are 1* strong so that's a 23* 4 iron.

That's unreal how far he's hitting them even jacked up a degree.

Thus might have been covered but anyone have any clue what his driver settings are?
