TRENDING UPWARDI'm nowhere close to the pinnacle I want to achieve. It's one thing to make it on tour and win. But I want to be contending in majors and making the Presidents and Ryder Cup teams. I still have a lot to accomplish.FIND ME ON THE WATERWhen we're home, anything in the water is fair game. Fishing, surfing, wakeboarding. I grew up on the water.

DRIVER

specs: Titleist 915D2, 9.5 degrees, Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana White+ 72 shaft, X-flex, 45 inches, D-2There's a lot to like about driver technology today. The low spin helps me control the flight into the wind or downwind. The ball never seems to move off line.

3-WOOD

specs: Titleist 915Fd, 15 degrees, Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana White+ 82 shaft, X-flex, 43 inches, D-3I love hitting a low bullet off the tee with this club on a shorter par 4. I can hit a ton of shots with it. I use it mostly off the tee, but it works off the fairway when I need it.

HYBRID

specs: Titleist 915Hd, 20.5 degrees, Mitsubishi Rayon Dia-mana White+ 92, X-flexOut of rough, off the tee -- I'll use it a lot. The lower spin works with my swing.

IRONS

specs: Titleist 714 CB, 4- through 9-iron; True Temper Dynamic Gold X100 shafts, Golf Pride Tour Velvet Midsize gripsThese are crucial clubs for me. I have all the confidence in hitting my driver far. But it's about nailing my approach shots, from anywhere I find myself on a hole.

WEDGES

specs: Titleist Vokey SM5: 48, 52, 56 degrees. SM4: 60 degrees. True Temper Dynamic Gold S400 shaftsI just switched to this wedge setup the week before I won in Turkey. Having a pitching wedge that's part of my other wedges helps my feel and trajectory.

PUTTER

specs: Titleist Scotty Cameron Newport 2 SLT T10 prototype, 15-gram heel and toe weightsI've had this putter since college. And I put it back in play right before I won in Phoenix.

Keep it simpleI'm not superstitious at all. I keep everything pretty clean. Wedge stampings just say BK. Same goes for my ball mark. Just a red dot on my Titleist Pro V1x.

Head of the statesThere's nothing crazy about my ball-marker choice. I have a lot of state quarters. It's a fun look. I'm partial to any Florida state quarter, too.

Tee game strongI have fun with my tees. My initials BK and "Lounge" are on them. It's an ode to comedian Dane Cook's skit about Burger King.

Doing it 'My Way'I don't listen to music while I practice. But when I'm done, I listen to rap. Fetty Wap (pictured) and Wiz Khalifa are on the playlist now.

Extended familyClaude Harmon III (far right) is my coach. He and his dad, Butch, have taught me a lot.

Anything you can do ...My roomie, Peter Uihlein (right), was the top rookie on the European Tour one year before I was. We're on our way to fulfilling our goals.
