Get a Tour Short Game

Other Great Short-Game Exponents in the Modern Era

Power is a big part of the modern game but you can’t be successful without a good short game. Rory proved that with his win at Quail Hollow earlier this year, where his putting was out of this world. Jordan Spieth showed his amazing short game at the Masters – a place where you have to have a short game – and he’s certainly one of the best putters around at the moment. The guys that are playing well and contending are usually the guys that are putting and chipping well. It really makes a difference to your momentum.

Views on Mizuno S5 Wedges

The new S5 wedges have this piercing blue look and they’re similar in shape to the T5s that I played. As soon as I hit them I knew they were going in the bag as they felt really solid. You can tell when you first hit shots whether you’re getting the flight or trajectory you’re looking for, especially on 50-100 yard shots, where you want a strong trajectory with spin, not a high-lobbing shot with no spin. My set make-up has stayed the same - a 60° with 6° if bounce and a 54° with 8° of bounce.
