Watney’s driver inspires Scott to adjust setup at Safeway Open

In addition to playing his way into contention through 36 holes at the Safeway Open, Nick Watney also inspired an equipment setup change by another contender this week at Silverado, Adam Scott. While Scott was playing a practice round with Watney earlier this week, Scott took a liking to Watney’s driver setup. According to Titleist TOUR rep J.J. VanWezenbeeck, Scott saw Watney’s 11.5-degree TS3 driver and liked the look and performance of it so much that he requested to have one built. It should be noted that 11.5 degrees is comparatively a lot of loft to have on a driver for PGA TOUR players; according to Titleist, only one other player in the Safeway Open field has a driver that measures 11.5 degrees of loft. Most other PGA TOUR players use drivers that have between 8-and-11 degrees of loft. Come competition time on Thursday, Scott had the Watney-inspired driver setup in the bag. Scott, making his 2019-20 season debut this week, was previously using a TS3 driver at 9.5 degrees with an A1 SureFit hosel setting. After playing with Watney, he switched into a TS3 driver at 11.5 degrees with a B1 SureFit hosel setting — the same head setup as Watney’s. Scott did, however, continue using his familiar Graphite Design Tour AD-DI 8X shaft that he had previously. On Thursday, Scott — averaging 323.4 yards off the tee — fired a 7-under-par 65 to share the first-round lead with Andrew Landry. He cooled off on Friday with a 73, though, and sits at T15 entering the weekend. Watney, who’s had his 11.5-degree driver in play since the 2019 Desert Classic, shot rounds of 69 and 65 to move into solo second behind Bryson DeChambeau, his playing partner in Saturday’s final twosome. Watney’s driver is equipped with a Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White shaft.

Thomas watches solid round get blown away in the windThomas watches solid round get blown away in the wind

Justin Thomas used a blistering start on Saturday to breathe new life into his PGA Championship hopes but the world number one struggled to sustain it in windy conditions at TPC Harding Park that took the shine off his round. Thomas, who made the cut on the number, started the third round a distant nine shots behind overnight leader Haotong Li but quickly cut that deficit to four after birdies at five of his opening seven holes. “I’m pissed off, that’s really the best way to describe it,” said Thomas.

The First Look: Wells Fargo ChampionshipThe First Look: Wells Fargo Championship

FedExCup titleholder Justin Thomas returns to the site of last summer’s PGA Championship triumph, headlining a strong field at Quail Hollow Club in the final event before attention turns to THE PLAYERS Championship. Two-time Wells Fargo champion Rory McIlroy and fellow winners Rickie Fowler and Tiger Woods are set to play their first competitive rounds since the Masters. For Woods, it marks his first visit to Quail Hollow since 2012. FIELD NOTES: Newly crowned Masters champion Patrick Reed is back with hopes of building on major momentum – not only from Augusta but his share of runner-up honors at last year’s PGA. … Reigning U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka also tees it up for the second consecutive week after three months off to rest a wrist ailment. … In all, the lineup boasts nine of the top 15 in the world rankings and 14 of the top 25. … Chilean teen Joaquin Niemann, whose first professional start saw him place sixth at the Valero Texas Open, makes his second at Quail Hollow. Though the former world amateur No.1 already had a sponsor invite, he can pocket it for later by virtue of his top-10 finish. … Two entrants have yet to miss a Wells Fargo Championship start – J.J. Henry and Rory Sabbatini. FEDEXCUP: Winner receives 500 points. STORYLINES: Though Thomas isn’t defending champion – Brian Harman is – he’s the last man to win at Quail Hollow when five birdies in his final 12 PGA Championship holes proved enough for victory. He also tied for seventh at the 2015 Wells Fargo. … Woods makes his seventh start of 2018, coming off a share of 32nd at Augusta National. After finishing no worse than 11th in his first four visits to Quail Hollow – including a 2007 win – he’s missed the cut in his past two visits. … Phil Mickelson once again seeks his first Wells Fargo victory, despite 11 top-12 finishes in 14 previous visits. Last year, he placed 18th. … Since the tournament began in 2003, Lucas Glover (2011) is the only man to post all four rounds in the 60s. Last year at Eagle Point GC, no one had more than two sub-70 rounds. … Five of the past eight defending champs have not been around on Sunday, and only McIlroy – fourth in 2016 – has followed up with a top-25 finish. COURSE: Quail Hollow Club, 7,554 yards, par 71. Back in its usual spring slot after a one-year hiatus to host the PGA, Quail Hollow comes back with even more bite than before. With upgrades from Tom Fazio that included three redesigned holes, Quail Hollow took the top spot among 2017’s toughest courses and it wasn’t even close – more than a half-shot tougher than No. 2 Augusta National. Originally laid out by George Cobb in 1961, the course already was known for its “Green Mile� closing stretch annually deemed among the toughest on TOUR. Quail Hollow was the original site of the Kemper Open (1969-79) and later the World Seniors Invitational (1980-89) before Fazio was brought in to get the course ready for the TOUR’s 2003 return. 72-HOLE RECORD: 267, Rory McIlroy (2015). 18-HOLE RECORD: 61, Rory McIlroy (3rd round, 2015). LAST YEAR: Harman made up for a poor chip by curling home a 28-foot birdie putt at Eagle Point’s final hole, capturing a one-shot triumph over Dustin Johnson and Pat Perez. It capped a birdie/birdie finish for Harman, though things didn’t look so optimistic after his attempt to hit the par-5 final green in two went long and left – followed by a chip that just snuck onto the putting surface. The putter saved him, though, watching the ball steam into the hole for a hard-way birdie. When Jon Rahm failed to chip in for eagle moments later, Harman had his second PGA TOUR victory. Johnson was seeking to win his first start since a slip-and-fall mishap forced him to withdraw from the Masters, draining a 15-foot birdie at No. 18 to draw even with Perez. Rahm was alone in fourth, two shots back. HOW TO FOLLOW TELEVISION: Thursday-Friday, 2-6 p.m. ET (Golf Channel). Saturday-Sunday, 1-2:45 p.m. (GC), 3-6 p.m. (CBS).
