Potgieter leder PGA Championship med sällsynt järnetta

Aldrich Potgieter delar ledningen efter första rundan i PGA Championship efter att ha lagt till en unik järnetta i bagen på Aronimink. Klubban hjälpte honom att navigera den utmanande banan i Pennsylvania.

Aldrich Potgieter använde sig den här veckan av en ihålig PXG-järnetta, utrustad med justerbara vikter på 12 gram i hälen och 7 gram i tån. Klubban, som är byggd med ett grafit-skaft och har ungefär 15 graders loft, genererar bollhastigheter på mellan 170 och 172 miles per hour. Den bär bollen bara några yards längre än hans järntvåa, men rullar nästan 30 yards längre på de hårda fairwaysen.
