Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry have won the pairs-event Zurich Classic of New Orleans. The win marks McIlroy’s 25th victory on the PGA Tour. Here’s his club set-up.
The Irish duo beat Chad Ramey and Martin Trainer in a play-off after American Ramey and Frenchman Trainer shot a nine-under 63 to post a target of 25 under. McIlroy and Lowry birdied the final hole for a 68 to force the play-off.
Replaying the 18th, Lowry missed a putt for birdie but Trainer then missed his own par putt. McIlroy tapped in with his Spider Tour X for the win.
McIlroy is now T23 all-time on the PGA Tour wins list. It was also the third time he has won a tournament on his debut at an event.
What’s in the bag
McIlroy is a TaylorMade staffer and uses a full bag of the brand’s clubs. In 2017, he signed a ten-year clubs, ball and bag deal with the manufacturer worth $100m.
The Qi10 offers all-round performance with a lower CG projection and higher MOI than the brand’s Stealth 2. It has been engineered to help golfers optimize distance and enhance forgiveness.
He pairs this with a 45-inch Ventus Black 6X and this season he is crushing his drives with a 186mph ball speed and 330-yards carry.
