Justin Thomas spotted testing Titleist T200 2-iron at St. Andrews

Published

on

The conditions at the Old Course at St. Andrews are firm and windy ahead of the 150th Open Championship, and with sunshine in the forecast until Friday, it’ll only continue to get faster.

To battle the conditions, GolfWRX’s early observations show players are testing long iron and driving iron options to replace higher-launching fairway woods. Marc Leishman, for example, told me on Saturday that he’s using a 2-iron for the first time in “awhile,” but he wants something that can flight lower and with more control than his usual 5-wood or 7-wood.

2022 PGA Champion Justin Thomas appears to be considering a similar switch.

In his typical bag setup, Thomas uses a Titleist TSi3 driver, a TS3 3-wood, a 915 Fd 5-wood, and a mixed iron set consisting of a T100 4-iron and custom 621.JT MB irons (5-9).  

When he showed up to St. Andrews for a practice round with Tiger Woods on Sunday prior to Open week, however, Thomas also had a T200 2-iron in the bag. The early word from Titleist is that he’s deciding between the 5-wood and 2-iron.

With three days of testing left before The Open begins on Thursday, Thomas hasn’t made a concrete decision, but we’ll keep an eye on his bag throughout the week to see what he decides.

      It’s better than the LIV non sense which is becoming nauseating.
