Jordan Speith Ready for Final Major of Season with Open Championship Scripting from Under Armour

The Open Championship, the fourth and final major of the season, presents a challenge unlike any other.  From furious winds to unfriendly terrain, each course that hosts the event tests the skill and determination of even the best golfers in the world, and the links at Royal Portrush Golf Club are no different.  

 

The oldest of the four major golf tournaments returns to Northern Ireland for the first time in 58 years this week.  Jordan Spieth will look to finish the major season on a strong note with a follow-up to his 2017 title, and his Under Armour scripting will have him covered no matter the conditions. 

Titleist Introduces New U-Series 500 and 510 Utility Irons: Designed to Maximize Long Iron Performance through Increased Launch, Speed, and Forgiveness

The new Titleist U-Series utility irons offer two unique models, the U 500 and U 510, designed to expand a player's shot options at the top end of the bag.  

 

Called "utility irons" for a reason, the new U 500 and U 510 models produce more distance than a standard iron and less spin than a hybrid, delivering that one shot a golfer needs precisely when it’s needed.

Steve Stricker Wins 2019 U.S. Senior Open Championship with Record-Setting Performance

Going into Sunday's final round of the 40th U.S. Senior Open Championship at Notre Dame's Warren Course, anyone other than Steve Stricker must have felt like one of those early season Fighting Irish football opponents.  Yes, they were going to get a nice experience playing in the shadow of the Golden Dome, but their chances of winning were slim. 

 

Obliterating the 36-hole (126) and 54-hole (192) championship scoring records and matching the 18-hole mark with a first-round 62 on Thursday, Stricker finished off his historic week with a championship-tying, six-stroke margin of victory over good friend Jerry Kelly and defending champion David Toms. 

Cobra KING F9 ONE Length Irons Review: Hit Me Baby ONE More Time

When Cobra Golf signed Bryson DeChambeau three years ago to its Tour Staff, their first generation of one length irons was a solid effort.  The F7 ONE accounted for almost 50-percent of Cobra's iron sales, but I think even Cobra would admit there was still room for improvement.  Tweaks were made and the next generation of one length, the F8 ONE, was better.  Still, subtle issues that generally plague one length irons remained. 

 

With a few years of development and empirical testing under their belts, and experimenting with all the components of one length iron design, this year Cobra absolutely nailed it with one length. The KING F9 ONE length irons are not only their finest one length irons so far, but also irons that actually unlock one length potential with consistent gapping, easy distance, and exceptional accuracy.
