Mexico’s Carlos Ortiz took home his maiden PGA Tour win on Sunday in Texas, holding off World No.1 Dustin Johnson. Here is the equipment the 29-year-old used to claim the Houston Open title.
WINNING SCORE: 13 under, 267.
EQUIPMENT CHOICE:
DRIVER: PING G400 Max with 9° loft, fitted with Mitsubishi Chemical Tensei AV Raw 65 TX shaft.
3 WOOD: PING G425 LST with 14.5° loft, with Project X HZRDUS Yellow 73 6.5 shaft.
IRONS: Titleist U500 (3-iron) and PING S55 (4-iron to pitching wedge), with True Temper Project X PXi 6.5 shafts.
WEDGES: Titleist Vokey Design SM8 (50°-12° F Grind, 54°-10° S Grind, 60° T Grind), with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts.
PUTTER: Odyssey Stroke Lab JailBird Mini.
BALL: Titleist Pro V1x.
EQUIPMENT NOTES:
Ortiz has plenty of power off the tee, however it was his approach play, scrambling and putting where he impressed most on his way to victory, ranking in the top-10 for the week for greens in regulation, scrambling and Strokes Gained: Putting. Ortiz’s irons were released by PING in 2013 and have maintained a strong following with Tour players and low handicap amateurs alike, the cast small cavity back design clearly working for the Texas resident this week.
-
The three-time Korn Ferry Tour winner in 2014 still opts for the G400 driver from PING, which have been replaced by the G410 and now G425, and continues a strong period of PGA Tour success for the brand’s drivers which have won four from nine events so far this season.
-
Ortiz adds another win for Titleist golf balls on the PGA Tour, the company now claiming four straight events and six of the completed nine events of the 2020/21 season.
QUOTE: “Obviously it's awesome to validate the work with a win, but I'm still going to be working on the same things, I have a long way to go from where I want to be and this is a step in the right direction.” – Carlos Ortiz.
