J.J. Spaun wechselt vor seiner U.S. Open-Titelverteidigung den Putter

J.J. Spaun hat den L.A.B. Golf DF3 Putter, mit dem er im letzten Jahr die U.S. Open gewann, diese Woche bei der Charles Schwab Challenge durch ein neues Modell vom Typ OZ.1i HS ersetzt.

Spaun, der erste Spieler, der ein Major-Turnier mit einem Putter im Zero-Torque-Stil gewann, vollzog den Wechsel im Vorfeld seiner Titelverteidigung in drei Wochen in Shinnecock. Das neue OZ.1i HS Modell mit Fersenschaft bietet im Vergleich zu seinem bisherigen, mittig geschäfteten DF3 mit abgenutztem Platin-Finish eine andere Form und einen gefrästen Stahleinsatz. Nach zwei Runden im Colonial in Fort Worth liegt Spaun bei acht unter Par und gewinnt mit dem neuen Putter mehr als einen Schlag gegenüber dem restlichen Teilnehmerfeld.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler shot an even-par 72 in the first round of the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass, trailing leader Maverick McNealy by five strokes. He attributed his erratic driving to a switch back to his previous TaylorMade Qi10 driver after experimenting with a new model last week. Despite challenges, Scheffler showed strengths in approach play and putting.

Following his even-par opening round at the 2026 Players Championship, Scottie Scheffler's swing has drawn scrutiny from Golf Channel analysts Brandel Chamblee and Paul McGinley. They note a noticeably shorter arc and less fluid motion compared to prior years, potentially linked to anxiety as he adapts to new equipment.

Adrian Rietveld, the TaylorMade fitter who works with pros like Rory McIlroy, conducted a detailed session to customize the new Qi4D driver for Johnny Wunder, Golf.com's director of equipment. The fitting focused on matching the club's technology to Wunder's swing without altering his ingrained habits. Results showed improved consistency and eliminated his typical miss.
