Tour Cameron Champ - WITB - 2023 RSM Classic

Everything new, but back to the old Lamkin grips. Goofy old Rapture driving iron though, I really wonder how many options he's tested there and what he liked about that one. 

[JDTex]

Wish Lamkin would offer the black UTX grip like Champ has to the rest of us. Not a fan of the grey, blue, or green options. 

[QuigleyDU]

Kind of a fun bag. He has played pretty well the last few outing and hopefully is finally healthy. I know he had some back issues last year. The driver play is an interesting one to me. 

[akap4surf]

Probably my favorite Ping bag on tour!

[DubDub]

Wanted to see this bag for awhile. I wonder why he changed so much and has been playing pretty good lately?!?!? interesting

Being a Big fan of Champ, i follow him pretty closely than a typical golf fan. Some small gear changes have helped, the big changes are he's finally healthy again and he said he's been recently working on his mental game more than anything, saying he wants to enjoy it and have fun and be okay with the ups and the downs. I think that's the biggest change I've seen, he seems to be back to his old self when he was having fun and not getting upset and frustrated like he doesn't want to be there. Commentators would always speak on how he just is acting like he doesn't want to be out there and showed poor body language last year or two. Now he's open about his struggles mentally and got help with it and its translating into his game.

IMO it's the perfect time. CC is already exempt for next season due to previous wins in 2021. So no pressure this week to get into the top 125. Great time to try out the new equipment in a competitive setting.

Oh please say that 62* new wedge will come retail...

 

If it does, I'll be spending some $800 to update my wedges in 2024.

He plays out of my club in TX. Seems like a nice guy but shy. Occasionally he’ll join a random group on a Saturday morning which is pretty cool. To see someone that small hit a ball with so much power but with so little effort is truly amazing.

Is that an updated whiteboard?  Graphics are certainly updated. 

[jetro110]

Busting out the 10k driver! 62T yes please. 

[BCULAW]

Assuming these are orange dot specs and not just decorative orange paintfill.  I had no idea he played such flat lie angles.

 Got the chance to meet him and get an autographed ball at the Travelers last summer, agreed seems shy and reserved but is very nice if you're respectful. Every now and then still go to YouTube and watch his wins from few years ago. Hope to see him return to form this year and I feel confident he can, and add another win to the column

it is indeed. It's coming to retail as well

Would love to get some odds on Bryson putting this driver in play at some point with how much he complains about how he wants to be able to hit it all over the face and still still have it go straight

[Avidswampthing66]

Matte driver, matte Wb shaft.  PURDYYY slick set up

The club in Montgomery is a pretty special place (if that is your reference). I have a close friend there and relished the opportunities he has provided to play!

Got him through college

He didn’t used to hit driver much

[Need4spd]

Cleanest PING bag of all time. 

[Philfil]

What ball does he play now?  Not on Srixon staff anymore.

I can't say for sure cuz I didn't ask him but there were some Titleist golf balls in front of his bag???  Could have been left there from someone else?

His Lamkin UTx grips have no cord?

Old Rapture DI is butt ugly - dear god did it perform, for me. So mad I had to sell my orange dot....still looking till this day,  for a used one.

[Cheesehead42]

It may just be the angle but that looks like a lot of loft on his putter. I love the clean look of it. 

[MattM97]

Was at Ping last week when he was dialing in this bag on the range, was insane the sound of his contact from where I was.

Small? He’s listed as 6 feet tall on the PGA tour bio.

He had a massive forward press, which he has seemed to rein in a bit recently. 

[Chirodad]

The Blueprint S irons seem to be getting all the love from the Ping staffers. Haven’t seen many Blueprint T’s making it in the bags.

If you ain't this, you're small. 😝
