PING PROS, G30 HEADED FOR PGA
SCHNELL POSTS 59 WITH 14 PING CLUBS
Five of the eight PING pros at this week’s PGA Championship will employ the G30
driver, including driving-distance leader and Masters winner Bubba Watson. Number 1 in Ryder Cup points and #1 on the money list, Watson has relied on the G30, as have Angel Cabrera, Miguel Ángel Jiménez (a three-time champion this season), Lee Westwood, and Daniel Summerhays. Louis Oosthuizen, Billy Horschel and Hunter Mahan complete PING’s roster.

PING Pro Brady Schnell fired a 13-under 59 on Friday at the ATB Financial Classic,
becoming only the second player in PGA TOUR Canada history to break 60. He played all 14 PING clubs (see What’s in the Bag on the next page). His 59 came in dramatic fashion, holing
out a 52-degree Tour Gorge wedge from 122 yards for eagle on his final hole. “I guess you’re always trying to hole it,” he said, “but you don’t expect it to happen for a 59.” He had the eagle and 11 birdies on the day.
The 29-year-old Iowa native finished T4 in the event on rounds of 71-59-67-69.

With his G30 driver, Bubba Watson wowed the gallery with a 424-yard drive on Saturday, the longest drive of the PGA Tour season, on the 16th hole at Firestone CC during the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. The tour’s driving-distance leader at 314.8 yards, Watson is also #1 in the percentage of his drives that have traveled 320 yards or farther, at 43.24%. He is second on tour in strokes gained-driving.

Cabrera, who won with the G30 driver in its first week on tour, also has a G30 fairway in the bag. Jiménez plays a G30 3-wood and 5-wood, while Summerhays utilizes a 3-, 5-, and 7-wood. The G30
has quickly become the #1 wood model among PING pros on the PGA, European and Web.com tours. Last week, 47 G30 woods were in play on the PGA, Web.com and Champions tours.
