Interesting that the four wedge system that he adopted early in the year has gone for a burton.

[absolutorigin]

hmm. i wasn't expecting him to dump the 909f2 fairway woods though.  not that the 906f2 are bad or anything.

[TMfan54]

If it's the one where he's sporting a pink shirt, that was the Sunday of the '91 Open. He was playing Daiwa blades which, I think, were the old DG273s. Designed by/made for David Graham who was also under contract to the fishing rod manufacturers, er, Daiwa at the time, and named in honour of his winning total in the US Open back in 1981. They were a very thin-soled, square toed iron and IBF played a full bag of them to victory. Quite a rare find these days if you're after a set, albeit a similar set, the 8601s, are a little easier to find in decent nick.

Very nice irons - and a similar set were once used by a rather handy junior player called Tiger Woods by all accounts.

have no idea how I even came across this, but I played the dg273's for quite some while and still have mine which are in good condition.  s-300. 2-11 irons. matte finish.   any idea as to their worth?

Didn't see this before, but that thing is a beauty. Saw some of the Quail Hollow pics where he's using it too.

[adigiulian]

anyone have rory bag pics from this weekend?

[williamo]

Last day at Quail Hollow Rory used his center shafted fastback and not any Newport putter....

Pretty sure he used it all weekend. In an interview after his round Saturday he said that he was able to adjust to the speed with the fastback better than with his Newport GSS.

That Newport Fastback...yummy!

The Newport and the Fastback are two different putters if you didn't know that haha. The fastback is a mallet putter...

IMO both of his putters are AWWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSOME!
