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.

Titleist TS3 Driver Review: A Driver Without Weakness

Prior to this season it had been awhile since I last played a Titleist driver.  In fact, the last Titleist driver I truly raved about was my 913 D2 (which I still own).  But this year Titleist went all in ball speed and distance, and I can tell you unequivocally, the TS3 is a driver without weakness. 

 

Titleist has always designed some of the straightest drivers in the industry.  Dispersion and forgiveness has always been near the top as well.  And I found the TS3 to actually be more forgiving and easier to hit than the previous 917 D2 driver, which was a pleasant surprise.  But it's the TS3's distance that really drew me in, hook, line, and sinker.

The 2019 Travelers Championship: Inside the Course (TPC River Highlands Review)

Trying to generate interest in a PGA Tour event the week after a major championship can be a struggle.  The tournament is perceived as a snooze-fest.  The world's top players often take much needed time off.  Even the fans need time to recuperate after a brutal post-major comedown. 

 

That is, unless we’re talking about the Traveler's Championship, which always attracts some of the biggest names in the game, and draws some of the largest crowds on Tour all year.  And the Pete Dye designed TPC River Highlands requires you to think your way around the course, utilizing narrow fairways, an abundance of bunkers, and firm, fast conditions to reward intelligence and precision more than brute force and strength.

Even with the greens firming up a bit, Round 2 produced more under-par rounds (44) than Thursday (39), but a different person was holding the lead.  Gary Woodland (who has never finished better than a tie for 23rd in eight previous U.S. Open starts) carded a 6-under, bogey-free 65 for a two-stroke lead over 2013 champion Justin Rose. 

2019 US Open at Pebble Beach: Round One Recap
