A Better Wedge For The Amateur Golfer

Look at every sand wedge you’ve ever owned, then the ones in your playing partner’s bags and you’ll see the same thing: thin, smooth soles that don’t have a ton of surface area and lack forgiveness in the sand.

If you would like to get out of the sand on the first try every time, there is an answer. And it’s not you, it’s not even your technique, it’s in the design of your sand wedge.

We think the enemy isn’t the bunker, it’s that thin-soled, unforgiving sand wedge.

Rory’s Unusual Path To Victory

When golf fans think of the strengths of Rory McIlroy’s game, approach play and putting aren’t the first two things out of their mouths.

However, en route to his 19th PGA Tour victory and third at Quail Hollow, it was his irons and flat stick that helped out a misbehaving driver.

McIlroy tied the fewest fairways hit by a PGA Tour winner in a 72-hole event since 1983, with 19.

But solid iron play, scrambling and a hot putter allowed him to play the par-4 18th hole at the Wells Fargo Championship in five shots to claim his first victory since the 2019 Players Championship on Sunday.

McIlroy’s +5.3 strokes gained: approach was 10th in the field and his +6.9 strokes gained: putting was third, allowing an off-week from the tee to be masked by a solid all-around game.

“This place has been good to me,” McIlroy said.

“Ever since I first set eyes on this golf course, I loved it from the first time I played it, and that love has sort of been reciprocated back. I've played so well here over the years. I think this is the first time I've ever won an event for the third time, so that's pretty cool to do it here.”

The win propels McIlroy back into the top-10 in the Official World Golf Rankings and gives him momentum heading into his next start at the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island, the site of his 8-shot victory in 2012.
