Adrian Meronk finished strongly in Ireland to claim the Horizon Irish Open from Kiwi Ryan Fox for his first DP World Tour win that was also the first for Poland on the circuit. Here is what he had in the bag.
WINNING SCORE: 20-under-par, 268.
EQUIPMENT CHOICE:
DRIVER: PING G425 MAX with 10.5˚ loft, fitted with Fujikura Speeder Evolution V1 661-X shaft.
3-WOOD: PING G425 MAX with 14.5˚ loft, with Fujikura Speeder Evolution V1 757-X shaft.
HYBRID: PING G425 with 19˚ loft, with PING Tour 85-X shaft.
IRONS: PING iBlade (4-iron to pitching wedge), with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts.
WEDGES: Titleist Vokey Design SM9 (50˚-12˚ F Grind, 54˚-10˚ S Grind & 58˚-10˚ S Grind), with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue shafts.
PUTTER: PING Vault 2.0 Ketsch.
BALL: Titleist Pro V1x.
EQUIPMENT NOTES:
Meronk’s is known as a top notch ball striker, and the Pole opts for the same iron model as another golfer renowned for the iron play. Like Joaquin Niemann, Meronk continues to the play the iBlade model from PING that was released in 2016.
- The 29-year-old gives PING drivers a second winning week on the big Tours after In Gee Chun triumphed at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship with an older G410 driver. Meronk averages nearly 310 yards of the tee this year with his G425 driver.
Another player to use the latest SM9 model from Titleist’s Vokey Design line, like J.T. Poston who won on the PGA Tour last week with the 2022 release, Meronk carries some fairly standard sole grinds in his three speciality wedges. He also uses a standard PING shaft in his hybrid.
-
Meronk’s win is the seventh straight on the DP World Tour for Titleist golf balls that were used to win across the PGA, DP World, Korn Ferry, Korean and Canadian Tours last week, as well as by Branden Grace at the LIV Golf event in Portland.
