@MtlJeff definitely would if it was lefty.  If I recall, he had a bag full of Ping G's 4-SW with lead tape all over them just to make them look cooler.

is that his gamer 7iron or a practice 7iron?

Has to be his practice ... His 8 iron is a naked T100.

Practice and his caddy, Joe told me it was for practicing 7 iron shots out of fairway bunkers.  It's heavier of course and shorter than his gamer 7 iron.  Here's a photo of both 7 irons in front of his bag

Wow that's gotta be at least 2" shorter, basically a standard wedge length. I wonder what he gets from that as a practice tool? Tiger talked about practicing greenside bunker shots with an 8-iron just so the wedge feels like cheating, but if it's fairway bunker specific it would have to be something else...

Maybe he said bunker shots and I made the jump to fairway bunkers.

He still is.  FYI, I was born here in the US have a Korean name but go by my English name.  Just makes it easier for everyone to pronounce.

Big fan of everything in this bag apart from the Tottenham Hotspurs headcover! That can get right in the bin.

@MattyO1984: Guessing you're either an Arsenal or Chelsea fan?

...Or are you a Man Utd fan? 🙂 

Guessing Tom Kim's allegiance to Spurs = influenced by his Korean countryman Song Heung-Min?

JH Kim needs to sample the KBBQ over in LA because we got the best restaurants for asian food in general, but especially Korean fare.  They don't call San Gabriel Valley, Little Asia for nothing, lol.

Congrats on his in win in Vegas yesterday.  I could see the nerves kicking in for like 2 seconds on the back 9 but the kid managed to pull through.
