No one was happier about Sunday’s rain-delayed final round than Aaron Wise. With the moisture slowing down Trinty Forest’s firm fairways, Wise leaned on his favorite club in the bag — a 10.5-degree Callaway Rogue driver — en route to his first PGA TOUR title. Wise put Rogue in play at the Sony Open and hasn’t looked back. He hit all 14 fairways during the final round and led the field in strokes gained: off the tee for the week, picking up more than 1.5 strokes with the driver. In addition to his strong final round performance, he recorded the longest drive of the week during the third round with a 402-yard poke on the 9th hole. “I felt like when it rained today I was really going to tear the course up just because it allowed me to hit driver, which is my strength, and, you know, I got that [Callaway] Rogue driver and absolutely love it,” Wise said. “I’m smashing it. I really — I took it apart with the driver today. I got a lot of short irons in my hand and was able to make a lot birdies.” Wise also ranked No. 1 in strokes gained: approach the green with a set of Callaway Apex MB irons and three Vokey Design SM7 wedges. He was equally impressive on the greens with Odyssey’s O-Works Red V-Line Fang CH putter, gaining an average of 1.3 strokes per round with the flat stick. Here’s a look at Wise’s entire equipment setup.
