Brian Dozier’s inside-the-park home run for the Minnesota Twins on Sunday had a bit of everything. The Twins’ infielder grabbed hold of a 1-2 cutter that stayed up a bit too high in the zone and launched it toward center field. White Sox rookie outfielder Jacob May was playing pretty shallow and immediately took off running towards the warning track.
Wesley Bryan shot a four-under 67 and used a strong tee-to-green performance at Harbour Town Golf Links to become the first South Carolinian to win the RBC Heritage in its 49-year history. The PGA TOUR rookie didn’t miss with his approach shots down the stretch, sticking his 113-yard second shot on the 13th to 9 feet for birdie; two holes later, Bryan’s 88-yard wedge shot on the 15th landed 4 feet from the hole for a birdie that moved him clear of the field. Using a combination of Callaway’s Apex Pro ’16 irons and MD3/Mack Daddy Forged wedges, Bryan finished second in strokes gained: approach the green (plus 8.451) — picking up at least two strokes on the field during each round. With the exception of a 58-degree Mack Daddy Forged lob wedge that was added this year, Bryan’s iron/wedge setup has remained the same going back to last season when he won Web.com Tour Rookie of the Year honors and earned battlefield promotion to the PGA TOUR with three Web.com victories. Here’s a look at the rest of Bryan’s Callaway equipment setup. Driver: Callaway GBB Epic (True Temper HZRDUS Black 6.5 shaft), 8.5 degrees 3-wood: Callaway GBB Epic (True Temper HZRDUS Red 6.0 shaft), 13.5 degrees Hybrid: Callaway Apex (Graphite Design Tour AD-DI 95X Hybrid shaft), 18 degrees Irons: Callaway Apex Pro ’16 (4-PW; True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts) Wedges: Callaway MD3 Milled (50-10S and 54-10S degrees; True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shafts), Callaway Mack Daddy Forged (58-08 degrees; True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shaft) Putter: Odyssey Metal-X Milled #2 Ball: Callaway Chrome Soft X
