Tour Tech Rundown: Good Good plus the color Green(e)
If you’re a Good Good fanboy like me (and that goes for Good Good Pros, Good Good Girls, and by extension, The Lads) the new out of Brasil this week is unexpected and exciting. GG is not just about Brad Dahlke, people! The season is fresh and we are young. The first men’s major is a week back, the first senior major just finished, and the first ladies’ major begins Thursday. Golf is everywhere, even in the northern hemisphere, where I live. PGA Tour Americas began its 2026 tour de fuerza, while all major tours but DP World and Asian were in action.
The Korn Ferry and Tour Americas proved that golfers don’t need to be on a streak to triumph. This week’s KFT winner opened the year T6, but missed four of the next seven cuts, with no finish higher than T34. The PGA TA titleist was better known for his YouTube golf than his competitive record, but no longer. Lots of powerful bats in bags this week, and we have the winners to prove it. Have a look at this week’s Tour Tech Rundown and find your next bat. Thanks to InsideTourGolf, Golf Monthly, GolfMagic, and Today’s Golfer for assistance with equipment research.
PGA Tour @ RBC Heritage: Fitzpatrick flirts with disaster
Matt Fitzpatrick and Scottie Scheffler battled all day Sunday in South Carolina. The Harbor Town resort, aka Fitzpatrick’s second home, saw a battle of two titans. In the end, one of them handled the wind better than the other, and it made all the difference. In regulation, Matt Fitzpatrick came to the 18th tee with a one-shot lead over Scheffler. Fitzpatrick missed the fairway by inches to the right, and his approach from a sandy wasteland finished pin high, greenside right. Scheffler ripped his approach to the same general area. Chipping first, the Texan snuggled his ball to inside ten inches, and tapped for par. Fitzpatrick’s cross-handed chip came up short of the bisecting ridge, and he took two putts for bogey, from twenty feet.
In the playoff, Scheffler’s tee ball sailed past Fitzpatrick’s. With four-iron in hand, Fitzpatrick played a low draw to 13 feet. We’ll never know what sort of approach trajectory Scheffler intended to play, but suffice it to say that his effort came up forty yards shy of the green. He did well to pitch to eight feet, but Fitzpatrick ended matters with a successful birdie putt.
Fitzpatrick’s Bats
This is the second time in a month that we’ve stolen a glance in Matt Fitzpatrick’s bag of tricks. A Titleist GT3 driver, with a Mitsubishi Tensei AV Raw Orange 65 TX shaft, rocks a Titleist ProV1x 2019 model for the 2022 US Open champion. Two TaylorMade Qi35 fairway metals fill out the launch section of his bag. For irons, Fitzpatrick stands by OG PING heads from 2013 and 2018. 2K18 saw the release of the i210 model, and the Heritage winner plays them in the 3 and 4 iron slot. Fitzpatrick’s 5-iron through PW are S55 with a fourteen-years old vintage. Fitzpatrick returns to the Titleist brand with three Vokey SM10 wedges, at 52, 56, and 60 degrees. For a flatstick, Fitzpatrick rolls his Titleist ProV1x with a Bettinardi BB1 proto.
LPGA @ JM Eagle LA Championship: Green triumphs in playoff…again
Hannah Green has won the JM Eagle three of the last four years. How she gets it done, varies from year to year. Twice, the Aussie has won in playoffs, while in 2024, she had the comfort of a three-shot margin over Maja Stark. During the LPGA off-season, Green went home to Australia, where she won the Open and PGA in consecutive weeks. For someone with nine LPGA/LET wins, Green has a surprisingly poor record in major events. Despite an early PGA Championship win at Hazeltine (age 23), Green has but one more, top-ten finish in the quintet of premier events.
That’s a conversation for another day. On this Sunday, at El Caballero, Green ran birdies at 11, then 13 through 16, to make up five shots on leader Sei Young Kim and chaser Jin Hee Im. The trio tied at 17-under par, so it was back to the par-four 18th for overtime. For the fans, it was one and done, as Green striped her approach twenty feet above the hole, then drained the putt for a winning birdie.
Green’s Bats
Hannah Green is not afraid to make changes. She currently pounds a Titleist GT3 driver with Diamana shaft off the peg. For longer fairway blasts, she games a Titleist GT3 three metal and a Titleist GT2 seven metal. The slicers in her bag are the Srixon ZXi5 Mk II 4-iron, and the Srixon ZXi7 Mk II irons (5 through PW.) Three Cleveland RTZ Tour Rack Wedges at 50, 56, and 60 degrees, rent space in her satchel. On the green, Green rolls her Srixon Z Star Diamond ball with a Scotty Cameron 3.2 Prototype mallet.
Senior PGA Championship @ The Concession: Cink gives chance to no one
The top five on the 54-hole leader board at The Concession featured an elephant on the tee. A series of talented but unproven senior golfers wrapped around Stewart Cink, currently on a heater on the Tour Champions. Cink looked to be the most likely guy to go out and play well, meaning that the wanna-be’s would need something special to challenge. When Cink posted seven birdies and an eagle for 63, that something special became unattainable. Cink’s third Tour Champions win of 2026 was his first major title on the Part-Two tour. Ben Crane was the A-Flight winner, signing for minus-four on Sunday, and a total of thirteen-under par, six shots behind the victor.
Cink’s Bats
No one does tour player equipment pages like Ping. Cink’s elegant Ping page reveals that the G440 driver, at 9 degrees, gets him off the tee. There is a bit of discrepancy on the fairway metal. Ping lists it as 3 metal, but a 17-degree 4 metal features in the photo. Cink follows with a G430 3 hybrid (although the 22 degree 4 H is featured), then a run of Ping i210 irons from 4 through P and U wedges. For putter, Cink relies on a Ping Vault 2.0 Ketsch mallet. These twelve clubs leave room for a Taylor Made Qi35 five metal and a Vokey 60-degree lob wedge. Titleist’s ProV1x orb resides in Cink’s ball pocket.
Korn Ferry Tour @ Tulum Championship: Menante’s Mexico Massacre of 2026
Dylan Menante was a decorated amateur golfer while competing for Pepperdine and UNC. He represented the USA at the Walker Cup (St. Andrews 2023) and the Pan-Am Games (bronze medal at Santiago, Chile) before turning professional. Menante has worked through the professional systems minor leagues, searching for the magical combination that elevates his game to PGA Tour status. This week in Tulum (near Cozumel) Mexico, Menante was that player.
On Sunday, Dylan Menante painted nine birdies on his personal canvas, totaling 63 for a six-shot win over Blades Brown. Brown held a one-shot advantage after three rounds, and was paired with Menante on day four. Brown posted 70 for a solo-second finish, but had an unfortunate, front-row seat to Menante’s brilliance. For pespective, nine rounds in the 60s were posted on Sunday, and none but Menante scored lower than 67. On this day, on this course, Menante was mightier than the rest.
Menante’s Bats
Dylan Menante wears the familiar tour uniform of the Titleist golfer. His bag features 13 clubs from the Massachusetts-based company, beginning with a GT2 driver. Menante’s fairway metal is not listed on his official Titleist page, which leads one to guess that he has a three or five metal from Taylor Made, Callaway, or Ping in the bag. A 3-hybrid (GT3) and a 4 driving iron (T250) begin the descent down the bag. Menante’s five through 9 irons are Titleist T100 series. Four Vokey SM 10 wedges check in at 46, 50, 54 and 58 degrees of loft. On the putting green, Menante rolls his Titleist ProV1x with a Scotty Cameron Phantom X T9 mallet.

PGA Tour Americas @ Brasil Open: Good Good’s Greene glows up
Here’s the promised Good Good element. I sense that purists see YouTube golf in the same way that purists viewed professional wrestling, back in the day. Featured are/were some very talented athletes, but not so talented that they could make it on tour. Well, Mason Green seems to disagree with you. The former UCLA golfer and Good Good stalwart jumped to the 36-hole lead at Rio de Janeiro’s Olympic golf course, then held off a flamboyance of flamingos to claim an inaugural PGA Tour-system title.
Greene began round four with five consecutive birdies. Greene’s partners and chasers, Charlie Crockett and Riley Lewis, faded to even-par and plus-one rounds. With no visible challengers, Green proceeded to play even-par golf until he reached the 18th hole. With three shots in hand, the former Bruin played safely down the par-five fairway, posting bogey for a two-shot win over Brett Roberts.
Greene’s Bats
Although Good Good has a corporate agreement with Callaway Golf, Mason Greene is not a part of that pact. Greene is a TaylorMade guy from head to toe, exclusive of his Good Good apparel sponsorship.
LIV Golf @ Mexico City: Rahmpage at Club de Golf Chapultepec
If there were a mind that you could inhabit for a time, for full dramatic effect, the one that belongs to Jon Rahm would not be a bad place to start. After a less-than performance at the Augusta National golf club last week, Rahm returned with a vengeance in Mexico’s capital city. The thick Basque posted 21-under par and left a Catalan and a Valencian to fight for second spot. Yes, they are all Spanish, but no, they are not all Spanish.
For a thin minute on Sunday, David Puig and Josele Ballester appeared to have a chance to overtake Rahm for the individual title at Chapultepec. Puig, from near Barcelona, signed for 66 on day four, to edge past Ballester, who totaled 67. As for Rahm, five birdies and an eagle reduced his tally to 64 shots, and six-shot win over Puig. Rahm’s Legion XIII team, featuring Tyrrell Hatton, Tom McKibbin, and Caleb Surrat, claimed its first event team title of 2026.
Rahm’s Bats
When last we checked into Rahm’s bat brigade, the man was all-in on Callaway. The two-time LIV winner in 2026 rips a Quantum Triple Diamond driver off the tee. Not much for hybrids, Rahm favors three and five fairway metals, both Paradigm Ai Smoke Triple Diamond models, off the runway. Rahm’s divot makers begin with the Apex TCB from 4 through PW, and finish with Opus SP Pro at 52, 56, and 60 degrees. Rahm plays froghair billiards with an Odyssey (by Callaway) White Hot Rossie putter and a Callaway Chrome Tour golf ball.

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.

- 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.”
