What’s in Thorbjorn Olesen’s European Tour winning bag?

Thorbjørn Olesen put the new Nike Vapor pro irons into action to secure his first win of 2014 with victory at the ISPS Handa Perth International.

The Dane went into day four three shots clear of his nearest rival at the top of the leaderboard, following scores of 64, 69 and 67 in the first three rounds thanks in part to some aggressive iron play and clinical work with the Nike Method 001 Proto putter on the greens.
 
As impressive as Olesen had been Thursday-through-Saturday, it was his ability to dig deep on Sunday that was perhaps the most impressive aspect of his performance.
 
The 24-year-old’s ball-striking was impressive throughout the week, showcasing the Pure Precision of the new Vapor Pro irons to stunning effect at the Lake Karrinyup Country Club.
 
The Vapor Pro irons, available from January 31, were developed at Nike’s R&D headquarters – The Oven – in Fort Worth, Texas, with direct input from Nike Golf athletes including Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.
 
The new forged blade irons feature innovative Modern Muscle design, which is defined by balanced weighting for perfected precision and power.
 
Interestingly, Olesen also relied on a Vapor Speed #2 iron during the tournament, allowing him to hit towering approach shots even when attacking the flag from longer distances out. 

He also relied on the Vapor Speed #3 and #5 metals, as he plotted his way around the 7,143-yard track in Western Australia.
 
Olesen’s control of the RZN Black golf ball was a feature of his play over the four rounds, as he notched 22 birdies on his way to winning score of 17-under-par.
  
The victory was Olesen’s first since he won the 2012 Sicilian Open.
