The Players Championship saw Cameron Young cement his place as one of the hottest prospects in golf.
It looked as though his big breakthrough might not come after so many close calls. But the American finally got the job done to claim one of golf’s biggest prizes and he did it using some very forgiving golf clubs.
It was two opposing Ryder Cup stars that battled it out at TPC Sawgrass as the Players Championship drew to a close. But, this time it was the American who came out on top.
Matt Fitzpatrick bogeyed the 18th as Young picked up his second PGA Tour win.
But it was what Young had in his bag that caught our attention most.
Most of us think of thin blade irons and compact driver heads when it comes to tour professionals, but those days are long gone.
Now, a lot of them are gaming clubs that offer maximum forgiveness. Which begs the question as to when elite players are using more forgiving clubs to win the biggest prizes, why aren’t amateurs doing the same in their weekly medal?
