Brooks Koepka and Justin Thomas both shot under par on day one of the Waste Management Phoenix Open, and both men did so after a change of driver for the event.

Koepka began the year with his TaylorMade M5 in the bag but was spotted on Thursday at TPC Scottsdale using a TaylorMade SIM2 driver.

Check out Koepka hitting the SIM2 in Phoenix in the video below.

The 30-year-old did marginally lose strokes off the tee on day one, but equipped with the SIM2 his opening round of 68 is the lowest score of Koepka’s 2021 thus far.

The change of driver is probably less surprising for those who witnessed this mind-boggling shaft bend of his M5 driver when frustrated last week at Torrey Pines.

As for Justin Thomas, the 27-year-old began the year by putting Titleist’s new TSi3 driver straight into play, but in Phoenix on Thursday, JT was back playing his old faithful TS3 driver.

We’ll keep an eye on the changes and if these drivers remain in the bags of BK and JT throughout the week.
