Scottie Scheffler swapped his TaylorMade Qi10 driver for a Qi4D (8 degrees), and early returns have been solid.
His 61 on Friday left him three shots ahead of the field at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, as he gained more than 1.5 shots off the tee with the new big stick.
This isn't the first time Scheffler has tried out Qi4D, but it is the first time he's used one with some unique crown cosmetics. With the latest Qi4D build, the 30-year-old added a gloss crown—a visual throwback to his previous Qi10. The standard Qi4D comes equipped with a matte finish on the crown. It's a small creature comfort for a guy who's won three majors and knows exactly what he wants to stare down at when he addresses the ball.
If you woke up to watch early coverage of the PGA Championship,
you couldn’t help but think it was actually the first round of the Open Championship you were seeing. Misty overcast skies and temperatures in the 50s greeted players at Aronimink, with the highs only expected to get into the mid-60s. It created some fun sights as players adjust to the conditions. Bryson DeChambeau could be seen walking to the driving range in a winter parka. And Jason Day was wearing a football style handwarmer making him look like he was getting ready to play for the Philadelphia Eagles.
