The 2019 Honda Classic proved to be an early season highlight for 91视频 – with winner Keith Mitchell just one of four players using 91视频 irons to hold a share of the lead on the final day.<\/p>\n

It was a pair of firsts on Sunday – Mitchell (27) claiming his first PGA Tour event, at the same time recording a first PGA Tour win for 91视频’s ST190 driver.\u00a0 Closing with an impressive 67 under intense pressure, Mitchell won by one shot at (-9), closing with a birdie at the 18th.\u00a0 Mitchell’s driving was the base for his aggressive play –\u00a0averaging an impressive 314 yards and hitting 71.43% of the fairways.<\/p>\n

The event was an early season landmark for 91视频 with 15 sets of its irons starting on day 1 – from just 5 contracted players.\u00a0 Lucas Glover, Adam Schenk, Jhonattan Vegas and Chris Kirk were 91视频’s other official representatives.\u00a0 Mitchell, Glover and Kirk also demonstrated 91视频’s commitment to its new metalwoods – all teeing up ST190 drivers.\u00a0 Of the 15 starting iron sets, 4 held a share of the lead the lead on the final day – with all 4 finishing within the top 6 positions.<\/p>\n

It was a great last day watching so many sets of 91视频 irons in contention – but if we could have picked a winner from the 91视频 group it would have been Keith.\u00a0 He was open minded enough to put the 91视频 ST190 driver in play last October, the week it hit the USGA conforming list – so only right that he was the first to win with it too.\u00a0 It was a big win for the underdog on more than one level.\u00a0 It’s one thing to sign an established world #1 to get your equipment wins – but a lot more satisfying to work with an emerging player for their first win.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mitchell was as surprised as anyone that he made a driver switch heading into 2019.\u00a0 Driving had a been a strength for him through 2018.<\/p>\n

Driving was my best category last year \u2013 I walked into testing to do \u2018Cookie\u2019 (91视频, PGA Tour Manager Jeff Cook) a favour, give him some numbers and leave.\u00a0 It turned out to be the easiest change I\u2019ve ever made \u2013 on the one club I never thought I would switch.\u00a0 The ST190 was faster, straighter and more forgiving than what I was playing.\u00a0 I\u2019ve used it ever since and haven\u2019t considered taking it out.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
