Potgieter lidera el PGA Championship con un inusual hierro 1

Aldrich Potgieter comparte el liderato de la primera ronda del PGA Championship tras añadir un singular hierro 1 a su bolsa en Aronimink. El palo le ayudó a navegar por el desafiante campo en Pensilvania.

Aldrich Potgieter recurrió esta semana a un hierro 1 de cuerpo hueco de PXG, que cuenta con pesos ajustables de 12 gramos en el talón y 7 gramos en la punta. El palo, fabricado con una varilla de grafito y aproximadamente 15 grados de loft, genera velocidades de bola de entre 170 y 172 millas por hora. Alcanza solo unas pocas yardas más lejos que su hierro 2, pero rueda casi 30 yardas adicionales en las firmes calles del campo.
