The Players Championship delivered another thrilling finish on Sunday, as Cameron Young claimed a one shot win over Matt Fitzpatrick at TPC Sawgrass.
Firing a four-under-par final round, Young managed to secure the biggest win of his career thanks to a 72nd hole bogey from Fitzpatrick, as well as a back nine collapse from 54-hole leader Ludvig Aberg.

Pocketing the $4.5 million first prize, as well as the PGA Tour’s Flagship Event, the American had a rather unique set-up in-play at The Players Championship, which included a prototype golf ball, putter and irons, as well as a recent driver change.

Beginning with the driver, which Young changed from the Titleist GT2 to the GT3 at last week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational.
The reason for the swap was down to the fact that Young was searching for a higher launch, because his Titleist Pro V1x Double Dot golf ball flies lower than the standard Pro V1x.
Previously, he used the GT2, but made the switch to a higher loft of the lower-spinning GT3, with the head 11° but cranked down to 10.25° to help bring the spin numbers down while maintaining height.
Shaft-wise, Young paired the driver with a Mitsubishi Diamana PD 60 TX shaft, with the big stick working superbly in the later stages of The Players Championship, highlighted by a 375 yard drive at the 18th, the longest on that hole in the shot-link era.

A new driver wasn’t the only recent change in the top-order of Young’s bag, as a Titleist GT1 fairway wood and hybrid made its way into his set-up.
The GT1 is a higher-launching model of the GT range, with it set at 14.5° and possessing a Mitsubishi Diamana PD 80 TX shaft, a slightly heavier model than that of his driver shaft.
To help lower the spin, Young has the weighting towards the front of the club, with it matching his gapping perfectly in the top-end of the bag.
