Adam Scott makes surprise mid-event iron switch, with FedExCup Playoff berth on the line

The ongoing Adam Scott iron saga just got even more dramatic.

Going into the 2023 Wyndham Championship, Scott was sitting at No. 81 in the FedExCup Playoff standings. As reported, Scott needed at least a T9 finish for a chance to break into the top-70 for a FedExCup Playoff berth.

In preparation for the week, GolfWRX.com spotted Scott testing a number of different iron models from various brands on Wednesday. On Thursday, Scott officially switched out of his former Miura AS-1 custom blades, and into a full set of Titleist 620 CB irons.

With the new irons, Scott fired a first round 65 (5-under) to put himself exactly where he needed to be. In his second-and-third rounds, however, Scott shot 71-69, forcing him into a position where he’d need to go low on Sunday for a chance at advancing.

Ahead of his final round, with a spot in the playoffs on the line, Scott made a shocking iron switch, replacing the Titleist 620 CB mid/short irons with Miura’s KM-700 model (6-9 iron).

Here’s how Miura describes the KM-700 designs: “The innovative toe-cut grind works in concert with the hosel/heel to optimize the center of gravity position, effectively producing a larger ‘sweet spot.’ The toe-cut grind is also visible on the sole. It delivers a stable head, optimized impact loft, and unparalleled turf interaction all while promoting a return to square at impact.”

As of the time this article was published, Scott sits at 7-under on the day, 12-under for the event, in T5 with two holes to play. (Keep in mind that Scott will have to hold off the players behind him still on course.)

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

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.”
