Jon Rahm overcame a seven-shot deficit against Collin Morikawa to win the Sentry Tournament of Champions, playing with Callaway‘s new Paradym driver and woods.
Rahm finished at 27-under par to win by two shots over Morikawa at The Plantation Course at Kapalua in Hawaii, who tied the PGA Tour record for losing the largest 54-hole lead of six shots.
Rahm started the season-opening event six shots back and went a further shot behind after dropping a stroke at the first. But while the Spaniard then rattled off birdies, it all fell apart for Morikawa with his wedges and putter.
Rahm has now won three times in his last six starts and walked off with the $2.7 million winner’s cheque.
What’s in the bag?
Rahm is a Callaway staffer and in Hawaii he played with the brand’s new Paradym driver and woods. Callaway recently launched their new Paradym range of clubs, offering three models which it says overcome the usual trade-off between distance and forgiveness.
There are three drivers and woods to choose from: Paradym, Paradym X, and Paradym Triple Diamond. Rahm went with the Triple Diamond, slightly smaller than the other two, offering the lowest spin with a neutral flight. It’s designed for better players who want to work the ball more.
