Adam Scott makes very surprising equipment change at Bay Hill

Adam Scott made an unusual decision prior to Thursday’s opening round at Bay Hill.

The 41-year-old decided to not even put a driver in the bag this week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Instead, he opted to use a 13-degree 2-wood in its place.

Scott has been averaging +1.1 strokes off the tee in his past five starts, so it’s a bit of a surprise that he chose to leave the driver out of the bag completely.

However, speaking after the round, Scott explained that the long rough had a lot to do behind the thinking, and that the driver may return for Friday:

“The basic stats are you hit more fairways with a shorter club than you do a longer club, and a 3-wood you hit more fairways than a driver. I thought it was a premium on hitting fairways here this week.

It’s kind of hard to figure how I’m going to get (the driver) back in the bag for tomorrow. I want to. It’s inspiring to watch Rory drive it, and I’d like to hit a couple. I’m going to hit a few on the range and see how it feels, but my game plan worked pretty good so far.

I just don’t think anyone is particularly accurate with the driver, myself included. Once you’re up at these ball speeds, it’s just hard to be relatively accurate. Rory made it look great today… (My driver) is far from terrible.

But I have to say since the middle of last year the confidence is really improved with the driver. I just didn’t see the advantage with it. I can get home on all the par-5s with the wood. I felt like I wasn’t really handicapping myself at all, even though I was watching a guy 50 yards in front of me.

Tomorrow it looks a bit windier and I’m going to have to have a serious think, because if it was into a stiff breeze on 18, maybe I’m handicapping myself.”

On Thursday, the tactic seemed to work out, with Scott firing a 4-under par round of 68 at Bay Hill.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
