Harry Potter fans will love Chase Johnson’s unique “Ravenclaw” divot tool

Chase Johnson is stealing the hearts of golf fans (and Harry Potter lovers!) this week at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

The 27-year-old professional golfer from Ohio won the third annual John Shippen Invitational – an event that hosts Black pros and amateurs from across the world – on Sunday at Detroit Golf Club to earn a spot in the Rocket Mortgage (and pocket the $20K prize).

“I really worked hard the last year and a half to fine tune some things since I lost my Korn Ferry card, and it’s been paying off over and over again,” Johnson said in a press conference on Tuesday. “Honestly, the last year I’ve gotten a lot of support from my parents, my fiancée and a lot of close-knit people that I’m in constant contact with. They know who they are. It’s been a long journey since I lost my card and we’re on the up and up and I’m excited to be back and have another chance.”

Johnson then continued his memorable week by making the cut on Friday, and PGA Tour cameras were there to capture the heart-warming moments with his family after making his first-ever PGA Tour cut. Check out the video embedded below:

On Wednesday, prior to Rocket Mortgage, GolfWRX.com and the PGA Tour caught up with Johnson to check out the equipment he has in the bag.

As we uncovered, the Cobra staffer uses Cobra’s Rev33 RF Proto copper-colored blade irons that were designed specifically for Rickie Fowler. Funny enough, Fowler no longer uses the irons himself, which makes Johnson the only PGA Tour player currently using the eye-catching iron models.

As Johnson explains in the video above, he also recently switched into a Cobra King Prototype 7-wood with rails added to the sole for better turf interaction (fellow Cobra staffer Gary Woodland also began employing the prototype fairway wood head at the 2023 PGA Championship).

GolfWRX didn’t just get a look at Johnson’s clubs, though. He also showed off his lucky ball marker from St. Andrews, and his custom Harry Potter-inspired “Ravenclaw” divot tool.

Ravenclaws are known for their intelligence, creativity, and wisdom. Apparently, Ravenclaws are also known for making cuts in PGA Tour events, too.

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.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
