FINAL LEADERBOARD

EQUIPMENT NOTES:

  • Champ’s equipment setup is one of the more unique on the PGA Tour having made a significant change at the top of his bag. One of the longest hitters in the game, the 26-year-old goes straight from his driver to his irons, with no fairway woods or hybrids in the bag. Likely rarely needing more than his strong 3-iron on second shots week in, week out and having plenty of short irons and wedges into the green, Champ has clearly found a balance in his bag that works. Champ’s 3-iron is a hollow body design with a hot face to give it some extra ball speed off the clubface and would act like a driving iron for Champ when in need of finding a fairway, while he also carries two 4-irons that carry different distances thanks to their construction.
  • PING drivers have been extremely successful of late, with Champ adding yet another win to the list of sponsored and free agent victors over the past two years. Champ’s driver is dialled in with a higher standard loft and low launch, low spin shaft, and averaging 317 yards this week.

  • Champ is part of a double win weekend for Srixon golf balls, with Aussie Minjee Lee claiming the Evian Championship on the LPGA Tour with the same Z-Star model that champed used in Minnesota.
