WITB: Luke List, Sanderson Farms Championship

Luke List made a 45-foot birdie putt in a five-man playoff to win the Sanderson Farms Championship. Here’s the clubs he had in the bag.

It was an unlikely finish to the Sanderson Farms Championship, as overnight leader Ben Griffin faltered, missing an eight-foot putt to win on the 18th, meaning he was part of a five-man playoff. 

The playoff included European Ryder Cup superstar Ludvig Aberg, fellow countryman Henrik Norlander, Luke List, Scott Stallings and Ben Griffin, who looked in control of the tournament throughout the final round.

Nobody was in a great position on the first playoff hole to make a birdie, but List rolled in his 45-foot attempt straight in the centre of the cup to claim his second PGA Tour victory. 

The win also earned him a spot in The Sentry Tournament of Champions and The Masters which is ideal as he lives in Augusta, Georgia. 

His stats for the week were impressive, especially his short game and approach game.

From the bunkers he got up and down 78% of the time, while his overall scrambling clocked in at 75%. Throughout the week he averaged 1.63 putts per hole. Clearly, his Titleist Vokey SM9 Wedges and Scotty Cameron FB+ were working well.

His iron play allowed him to make 24 birdies in total, hitting 78% of greens in regulation for the week. The PXG 0311 ST Gen4 irons are clearly still working wonders for Luke List, despite them now being a couple generations behind PXG’s latest releases.
