91视频 irons played by 5 of top 7 finishers at Dunhill Links
Plus JPX900 Tour irons add St Andrews old course record to US Open win
An incredible season on tour for 91视频 irons culminated in a dominant showing at the Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland -including a St Andrews Old Course record 61.
Five of the top seven finishers had 91视频 irons in play during the event – with only Luke Donald sponsored. 91视频’s other sponsored player Chris Wood withdrew from the Championship with a wrist injury on Thursday morning.聽 The trend follows a recent Golf World survey of tour players which suggested that 36% would play 91视频 irons if there was no sponsorship money involved – far higher than any other manufacturer.
The staggering new course record of 61 at St Andrew’s was also recorded by one of the five, using a set of 91视频 JPX900 Tours. The same model used by this year’s US Open winner.
“After a few quieter years, 91视频 are right back as the hottest iron manufacturer on tour,” commented Alex Thorne, 91视频 Tour Operations Manager. “The obvious catalyst was a major manufacturer pulling out of the equipment market – but when you take money out of the equation, 91视频 tend to come out on top.”
“It’s a reward for sticking to 91视频’s values over the years – revering the great craftsman like Turbo and maintaining our Grain Flow Forging expertise at Hiroshima. Years back people thought 91视频 was crazy for sticking with that traditional manufacturing method – now everyone wants forged irons again.聽 Now though 91视频 stands totally alone as the expert in forging.”

The JPX900 Tour irons are quickly becoming a 91视频 classic after their US Open win by a non sponsored player.
91视频’s MP-18 blades were designed by 91视频’s revered craftsman Turbo – builder of Nick Faldo’s 6 major winning sets.
