Toms has ‘prime opportunity’ this weekend at Barbasol Championship

LEXINGTON, Ky. – David Toms didn’t know exactly what to expect this week. The 52-year-old had entered the Barbasol Championship because he wanted to stay sharp. Toms doesn’t plan to play the Senior Open Championship next week, and he didn’t want to take a four-week break before PGA TOUR Champions returns for its final 11 events of the season. His son Carter was playing in a tournament, too, so there wasn’t really time for a family vacation. So, Tom’s wife Sonya and their daughter Anna said they’d make the four-and-a-half-hour drive to Kentucky from their home in Shreveport with him. So far, it’s been well worth the trip. Toms fired a 64 on Friday that left him tied for third at 12 under, just three strokes off Jim Herman’s lead entering the weekend – with a chance to become the second-oldest winner on the PGA TOUR. Sam Snead, who won the 1965 Greater Greensboro Open at the age of 52 years, 10 months and 8 days, is the first. He has Toms by a matter of four months and nine days. “That would be kind of cool, but I’ve got a long way to go,â€� said Toms, who remembers spending time with Snead at the Masters. “See if we can play well enough tomorrow not to be too far back on Sunday and have a chance.â€� Toms, a 12-time winner on the PGA TOUR, has been his usual patient and steady self during the first two rounds at the Champion Course at Keene Trace Golf Club, a course he’s played several times before in U.S. Open qualifying. The 2001 PGA champion has hit 21 of 28 fairways and 29 of 36 greens in regulation. He’s made one eagle, 14 birdies – pitching in three times Friday from just off the green — and dropped just three shots to par, including on the last hole Saturday that kept him from a share of second. “My first goal was just to play Saturday and Sunday really, and then I started feeling good about it yesterday, the way I was playing, and obviously it carried over to today,â€� Toms said. “So, I’m in good shape. But I’ll have to go really low on the weekend like everybody else is going to have to do. “It’s a longer golf course for me, so it helps that it’s drying up a little bit. So, I don’t have as many scoring opportunities as some of the other players, but if I can take advantage of the ones I do have, I’ll be okay.â€� This is just the third TOUR event he’s played this season, tying for 31st at the Charles Schwab Challenge and missing the cut at the U.S. Open. Toms has three runner-up finishes on the PGA TOUR Champions, though, including in his title defense at the U.S. Senior Open and at another major, the Regions Tradition. “Had opportunities, haven’t been able to get it done,â€� Toms said. “But like I said, everybody out there are champions, all the guys that are playing, so they know how to win. “You have to go out there and do it and I haven’t been able to this year. We still have a lot of tournaments left.  Our fall is pretty important as a player out there, a lot of tournaments. So, I have some opportunities, I just have to get close and see if I can have something go my way.â€� He’s got a prime opportunity this weekend, too.

The evolution of Koepka's equipment at the PGA ChampionshipThe evolution of Koepka's equipment at the PGA Championship

Brooks Koepka has evolved substantially since his debut on the PGA TOUR in 2014. The former No. 1 player in the world (current No. 6) has gone from a TOUR rookie with promise to a four-time major winner, and when he’s on, arguably the most intimidating player on TOUR. The thing Koepka has kept constant since his initial major victory at the 2017 U.S. Open, however, is the approach to his equipment. When Nike left the club business in August of 2016, former Nike staffer Koepka and a few others at the top have chosen to play without a club contract, opting instead for the freedom to pick 14 tools that work regardless of the maker. This is a trend we will likely see more of as time goes on — players forgoing big dollars from OEM contracts and playing what they want, basically betting on themselves to make up the lost sponsorship dollars in tournament winnings. Players such as Patrick Reed, Paul Casey, Tommy Fleetwood, Billy Horschel, and Justin Rose are all high-profile players currently without a club deal. As you will see below, Koepka’s bag hasn’t changed all that much since his 2018 PGA Championship triumph at Bellerive — with the exception of the driver, swapping in the updated model of the JPX iron, and finally ditching his Nike utility iron for the TaylorMade 790 UDI earlier this year. Here is a look at Koepka’s equipment for his two PGA Championship wins (2018, 2019) and his defense at TPC Harding Park this week. DRIVER 2018: TaylorMade M3 460 (9.5 degrees). Shaft: Mitsubishi Diamana D+ 70TX 2019: TaylorMade M5 (10.5 degrees). Shaft: Mitsubishi Diamana D+ 70 TX 2020: Callaway MAVRIK Sub Zero Triple Diamond (10.5 degrees). Shaft: Mitsubishi Tensei White AV 75 TX NOTE: Koepka first used the MAVRIK driver in competition earlier this year at the Saudi International on the European Tour. He began the competition with the 10.5-degree TaylorMade M5 but switched to the then-new MAVRIK Sub Zero for the third round, along with the Mitsubishi Tensei AV White 75 TX shaft. He shot 65 that day, eventually finished T-17 and has had it in the bag ever since. 3-WOOD 2018: TaylorMade M2 Tour HL (16.5 degrees). Shaft: Mitsubishi Diamana D+ 80TX 2019: TaylorMade M2 Tour HL (16.5 degrees). Shaft: Mitsubishi Diamana D+ 80 TX 2020: TaylorMade M2 Tour HL (16.5 degrees). Shaft: Mitsubishi Diamana D+ 80 TX IRONS 2018: Nike Vapor Fly Pro (3) Mizuno JPX-900 Tour (4-PW). Shafts: Fujikura Pro 95 Tour Spec X-Flex (3) True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 (4-PW) 2019: Nike Vapor Fly Pro (3), Mizuno JPX 919 Tour (4-PW). Shafts: Fujikura Pro 95 Tour Spec X (3), True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 (4-PW) 2020: TaylorMade P790 UDI (3), Mizuno JPX 919 Tour (4-PW). Shafts: Mitsubishi MMT UT 105 TX (3), True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 (4-PW) NOTE: Koepka’s switch into the TaylorMade P790 UDI early in 2020 was one that surprised some. The running theory is the 790 gave him a bit more height and playability. This is a gapping club for Koepka, so a switch like this isn’t about distance necessarily, but building two or three more shots into a club (offering height, spin, and maneuverability). The Vapor iron served him well for a while, but the hollow body, tech-packed UDI is a favorite on the PGA TOUR and our assumption is Vapor just didn’t stack up apples to apples anymore. WEDGES 2018: Titleist Vokey SM7 (52-12F, 56-10S, 60-08M). Shafts: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 2019: Vokey Design SM7 Raw (52-12F, 56-10S); Vokey SM4 TVD Raw (60-08M). Shafts: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 2020: Titleist Vokey Design SM8 (52-12F, 56-10S), Vokey SM5 TVD (60-08ML). Shafts: True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 NOTE: According to Titleist Tour Rep Aaron Dill, Koepka switched into a very low bounce M Grind in 2019. The idea was that the grind itself was perfect for him, but he was looking for something that sat a little closer to the ground, which encouraged a bit more spin and better turf interaction.
