Cameron Champ – Sanderson Farms Championship
Cameron Champ WITB. Drives for show eh? Well it’s drives for dough for Champ who picked up his first PGA Tour win just months after securing his card.
I did try and warn you back in August…
Cameron Champ leads the AVERAGE driving distance on the https://t.co/8gKKDkruSc Tour with 343 yards. That's 10 yards longer than 2nd place, 23 yards longer than Rory who's 1st on the PGA Tour. And he's just earned a PGA Tour card for next season. Strap yourselves in… pic.twitter.com/8TKFF1Fmz3

The American uses the Ping G400 Max driver just like fellow Ping staffer Tony Finau. He then opts for the G400 3-wood before a split set of irons.
Champ has the powerful i-500 for his strong 4-iron then goes into the i-Blade from 4-PW. So yes, he does effectively carry two 4-irons.
The 23-year-old uses the brand new Glide Forged wedges and a Tyne 4 prototype putter.
His ball of choice is the Srixon Z-Star XV.

What do the Rules of Golf say about slow play?
