3. Bubba Watson
Off the tee Bubba gained three quarters of a shot a round over the field average last year. That accounts to over 37 fewer shots over the year.
What he uses: The two-time Masters champion chooses to game the Ping G410 Plus driver with a 9° head and his custom pink Grafalloy Bi-Matrix-X shaft.
2. Jhonattan Vegas
Vegas has taken a massive leap up the ranking, improving from 46th to 2nd last season which was partly down to a 3mph gain in clubhead speed.
What he uses: A former Nike staffer Vegas plays Mizuno irons but isn’t contracted for a full bag so chooses to game the TaylorMade M6 driver.
