Despite two back nine bogies on Sunday, Joel Dahmen signed for a final round 70 and one shot win at the Corales Puntacana Resort & Club Championship. Here is what the first time PGA Tour winner had in the bag.
WINNING SCORE: 12-under-par, 276.
EQUIPMENT CHOICE:
DRIVER: PING G425 LST with 10.5˚ loft, fitted with Mitsubishi Chemical Diamana TB 60 shaft.
3-WOOD: PING G425 Max with 14.5˚ loft.
HYBRID: PING Anser with 20˚ loft, with PING Anser TFC 800D shaft.
IRONS: PXG 0311T (4-iron to pitching wedge), with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts.
WEDGES: PXG 0311 Sugar Daddy (50˚, 56˚ & 60˚), with True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts.
PUTTER: Scotty Cameron Prototype.
BALL: Titleist Pro V1.
EQUIPMENT NOTES:
Dahmen’s maiden Tour win came on the back of solid approach play and extremely tidy putting for the week. The 33-year-old has changed putters and grip techniques quite regularly throughout his time on Tour, opting for a Scotty Cameron mallet and cross handed method this week, helping him rank fourth for Putts per GIR, while his hybrid is perhaps his most interesting club in the bag. Released in August 2012, PING’s Anser hybrid developed a strong following on Tour and remains in some other players’ bags. A more traditional shaped option than PING’s previous hybrids, the Anser was built for control with forgiveness – perfect for better players. Dahmen even using the stock PING graphite shaft.
- The cancer survivor’s victory is yet another with a PING driver by a non-contracted player. A member of PXG’s Tour staff, Dahmen’s G425 driver has proven extremely popular with his fellow Tour players since its launch earlier this year. Dahmen playing the LST version offering lower spin.
Dahmen was part of a double win weekend on the PGA Tour for Titleist’s golf balls alongside Billy Horschel, the duo adding the 13th and 14th wins for the company’s Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls in 2021 on the world’s biggest stage.
QUOTE: “It's really hard to win golf tournaments. I knew it was hard, but I can't believe how hard it actually is. I was in control, I felt like I was, my body was just doing other things.” – Joel Dahmen.
