Here we give you a quick rundown of the clubs Jordan Spieth used en-route to becoming the champion golfer of the year.
Spieth’s venture to the practice ground on the 13th hole and resulting bogey is the one moment that will standout more than any other when we look back at this Open in the years to come. The club he used from the practice ground was a new Titleist prototype 718 T-MB 3-iron, that he opted to put in the bag at the start of the week.
Titleist began their tour validation and seeding process of the new prototype 718 irons last month at the HNA Open de France and the Quicken Loan National. As soon as they could get their hands on them, most Titleist staffers chose to put the new irons into play, praising their performance and feel.
Jordan has a tendency to stick with clubs he likes, even if they are a few years old, such as his 915D2 driver and 915F 3-wood. His performance off the tee was the weakest part of his game this week, finishing in a tie for 100th in the fairways hit stats, hitting only 24/56 fairways (42.9%).
Despite his poor performance of the tee, Spieth managed to find the putting surface in regulation 69.4% of the time using his Titleist 716 AP2 irons. Spieth would go onto convert 17 of those 50 GIRs into birdies.
