WGC HSBC Champions - Review & WITB

"Winning today, I feel has got me closer to being able to compete a lot better in the Major tournaments. My next goal is, of course, to win a Major and I'm going to do all that I can to prepare well for that.”

These comments were made by Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama following his victory in last week’s WGC-HSBC Champions event.

The four majors aside, there’s nothing quite like winning a World Golf Championships event. Many see it as a sign that the winner is ready to compete at the highest level, and this is certainly the case for Matsuyama.

The 24-year-old carded 29 birdies over the week to finish seven clear of Henrik Stenson and Daniel Berger on 23-under-par. To put this achievement into perspective, only Tiger Woods has managed to win a WGC event by seven shots or more – something he’s done on four separate occasions. Not bad company to hold for the new world number six.

You may have seen our earlier blog post on Rory’s switch to the TaylorMade M2 driver and metal wood (click here to read) for the event in China; well it certainly didn’t hamper the Northern Irishman as he finished in T4 to move up to second in the World Rankings. In fact, McIlroy’s average driving distance for the week was a measly 300.5 yards – putting him 4th in the field that week.

But even McIlroy was no match for Matsuyama last week, I truly impressive performance that puts him in good stead for the 2017 Majors.

What equipment did Matsuyama use?

A Deeper Look into PING's 2016 Iron Line-up

PING need no introduction when it comes to golf equipment; they are at the top of the game. Having built up a strong reputation thanks to the performance of their clubs through the years, expectation is rife whenever they release a new product.
In this blog post, Foremost Golf looks at the different options within PING’s current iron range, from the GMax to the exciting new iBlade.

GMax - PING has pushed the boat out in terms of the technologies featured in its GMAX irons. They're longer, more forgiving and they offer greater control than any clubs PING has previously produced. They also look great and sit beautifully behind the ball. That's quite a package.

G – COR-Eye technology provides four times the amount of face flexing for consistently faster ball speeds across a hotter face. A gain in ball speed and shot height generates more carry distance and a steeper landing angle.

i – Better players will love the performance of PING’s i iron. Using 431 stainless steel for the first time, PING’s engineers were able to create a head design that deliver workability and trajectory control with the right amount of forgiveness.

iBlade - If you’re a confident ball striker, you should seriously consider the iBlade irons. They boast more distance, forgiveness and feel over the S55 irons they replace.

There really is a model for every level of golfer in PING’s iron range, no matter what you’re after.
