Club changes assisted three of last week's winners as Padraig Harrington used his Wilson prototype Tw9 wedges (as well as a return to his Odyssey White Hot 2-Ball Blade putter) to win the British Open at Royal Birkdale while Richard S. Johnson also used a putter change (to a Scotty Cameron by Titleist Newport Fastback) in winning at Milwaukee. R.W. Eaks, meanwhile, put a new Adams Insight driver in play at the Champions Tour's 3M Championship. Ji Young Oh stood pat in her equipment at the LPGA's State Farm Classic but gave Nickent its first driver win on that your this year by using the company's 4DX driver.
