J.J. Spaun has replaced the L.A.B. Golf DF3 putter he used to win the U.S. Open last year with a new OZ.1i HS model this week at the Charles Schwab Challenge.
Spaun, the first player to win a major with a zero-torque-style putter, made the change ahead of his title defense in three weeks at Shinnecock. The new heel-shafted OZ.1i HS features a different shape and a steel milled insert compared to his previous center-shafted DF3 with its worn platinum finish. Through two rounds at Colonial in Fort Worth, Spaun stands at eight under par and is gaining more than a shot on the field with the flatstick.
