    Good article by Adam Barr on Charley Hoffman's equipment:

    9/7: Not Sorry, Charley

    A 62 to finish any professional tournament is a solid accomplishment. Making it the last of four rounds in the 60s, in a playoff event, on a stout golf course, and making 11 birdies to do it — that’s jaw-dropping.

    But as usual, Charley Hoffman was all about cool, quietly rockin’ his surfer-style demeanor no matter what may have been going on inside. A bag he could rely on, which has changed very little throughout the season, surely helped.

    Just look at the controlled iron shots on the back-side par 3s, Nos. 11 and 16. Only a random pin-clanging bounce kept the tee shot on 11 from going in, and the shot on 16 came to rest at tap-in range. On both swings, Hoffman truncated his finish in a way that showed confidence in the control he could exert over this kind of shot. And it was shotmaker irons, Titleist’s lean and spare MB (for muscle back) line that worked so well into Hoffman’s approach.
