Qatar holds great memories for Bjorn

2012-02-03T22:31:02-05:00

Denmark’s Thomas Bjorn will have some great memories to back him when he tees off at the DohaTaylorMade R11 Irons
Club on Thursday in the Commercialbank Qatar Masters.
It was here, after all, where, exactly a year ago, he would finally came in from a long spell out in the cold of invisibility with a going-away 4-stroke win that would spark his greatest season ever on the European Tour and bring him two more victories. TaylorMade R11 Irons
Looking back he should remember how he recovered from a miserable 74 to fire three stunning rounds of 65, 66 and 69 for a 14 under par total of 274 that enabled him to beat the big-hitting Spaniard Alvaro Quiros into second place.
The seasoned Dane showed his thrilling run in Qatar was no fluke when he went on to win the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles and the Omega European Masters in consecutive weeks before finishing ninth in The Race to Dubai.
It was his first Top 10 finish and his best since 2003 when he finished eighth in the European Tour’s order of merit standings
“You always go back with fond memories to a golf course you’ve won on,” Bjorn told European Tour.com this week.
“I have to say that the way I played with TaylorMade R11 Irons
coming down the stretch last year was excellent and it laid a lot of the groundwork for what I did the rest of the year. It definitely changed my mental attitude.
“In the past I found it very difficult to get into positions and then winTaylorMade R11 Irons
tournaments, but in Qatar I suddenly realised that when I do get into such positions, I am quite capable of getting over the line.
“I think that was a big difference, and I saw it again in Scotland and in Switzerland; that when I’m there on a Sunday I can, at times, be very difficult to beat.
“I’ve said before that if there was one downside of last season, it was that the consistency was not there for me. There was a little bit too much poor play but, balancing that up, the great stuff was really good. That’s what you’ve got to take and then you can build into a new season, and I’m looking forward to this season as I feel myTaylorMade R11 Irons
is in a better place than it’s probably been for a while.”
Bjorn proved that last week with a solid showing in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship where he finished in a tie for third spot, only two shots adrift of champion Robert Rock and tied with Tiger Woods.
The Dane says that he will have to show similar resilience at Doha Golf Club where the ever-present shamal winds make playing TaylorMade R11 Irons
there pretty hazardous and when they really get up, sometimes close to unbearable
“The wind in Qatar can make for very tough days out on the course. On those occasions you take a par, and then just try and roll in a few here and there for birdie if you get the chance.
“It’s a fantastic to go and playTaylorMade R11 Irons
on courses like Doha and Abu Dhabi and Dubai. They’ve got great history on our Tour, and that’s what you want. This is a fantastic swing for us on three magnificent golf courses.”
Bjorn will be joined in Doha by a high quality field which is headlined by the World’s Nos 3 and 4 respectively, England’s Lee Westwood and Germany’s Martin Kaymer.
Also in the field with Bjorn will be last year’s Qatar runner-up, Quiros and Sweden’s Robert Karlsson, the two Qatar champions who preceded Bjorn, as well as South Korea’s KJ Choi and Hunter Mahan of the United States.

Robert Garrigus on Kyle Stanley

2012-02-03T22:27:23-05:00

Garrigus, who triple-bogeyed the last hole to fall into a playoff he would eventually lose at Memphis in 2010, had struggled on Torrey’s poa annua greens and bogeyed his last two holes to miss the cut at the Farmers, so he was back home in Scottsdale, Ariz., watching the back nine at Torrey on TV.
“I left to get a massage at 3:30 or 4 o’clock,” he said by phone Sunday night. “I saw Kyle make a five-footer on 15 for par. I thought it was a lock; Brandt made bogey on 17. It was a four-shot lead with three holes to play with Titleist 712 AP2 Irons
.”
Alas, just as Garrigus had buckled under the pressure of trying to win his first tournament in 2010, the enormity of what the winless Stanley was about to accomplish seemed to hit him all at once. He spun a wedge off the green and into the water, hit his fifth shot withTitleist 712 AP2 Irons
on the green and three-putted.
“I saw what happened and thought, ‘I’m one of the only guys in the United States who can relate to how he feels,’ because I’ve been there and it’s brutal,” Garrigus said. “He’ll win. It’s not the end of the world, but it sure feels like it at the time.”
Garrigus won at Disney at the end of 2010 and dedicated the victory to Tony Kornheiser, the co-host of ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption, who had suggested fans might never hear from Garrigus again.
“He didn’t know what he was saying,” Garrigus said. “I got some good pub out of it. It was a lot of fun.” Titleist 712 AP2 Irons
Similarly, he believes the first win for the shell-shocked Stanley might not be far off.
“I wish I had his number because I would call him,” said Garrigus, who tied for third at the U.S. Open last summer and will make his first Masters start in April. “I’m sure I’ll see him soon. I’ll tell him, ‘You’ve got to get there to blow it.’ That’s what Chris DiMarco said to me: ‘You’ve got to get there to blow it, and you’ll be there again. Don’t worry about it. It’s just Titleist 712 AP2 Irons

TaylorMade Men’s Ghost Manta Putter’s Review

TheTaylorMade Men’s Ghost Manta Putter
is similar to the previous TaylorMade Ghost putters with a high-MOI, but in a more traditional one-piece neo-mallet design.
The new flat matte finish combined with the contrasting black rails on the top of the putter head, helps golfers align themselves to putts easier. The double bend on the shaft of the Ghost Manta provides players with the correct amount of offset with distracting them from the putt.

and further increase the MOI. The higher the MOI, the more consistent putt’s speeds will become on off-centre hits. One further weight is located in the centre of the sole.
The TaylorMade Men’s Ghost Manta Putter
features TaylorMade’s PURE ROLL surlyn insert, designed to promote forward spin and help reduce skidding, whilst also delivering a soft sound and feel at impact.
The 33 and 34 inchTaylorMade Men’s Ghost Manta Putter
weigh in at 360g, whilst the 35 inch version weighs 370g, the belly-length 380g and the long version 440g.

The increased sweet spot provides golfers with the potential for greater driving distance. They have also optimized the weight distribution in the titleist 910 D3 Driver, with a brand new head design and bezel weight at the rear end of the clubhead.

The 910 driver has a lower profile, a thinner crown and a deeper centre of gravity thanks to a bezel weight in the sole that be adjusted too. The 910 D3 driver has a slightly smaller 445cc head with a deeper face, giving an MOI figure of 4660 and a lower spin rate. The cast titanium head also features a forged titanium face insert that has a thicker central portion equidistant from all points around the face perimeter. This club hit really good and for me about the right height on most drives.

Like all new TaylorMade drivers, it has a white crown color and black PVD face to provide optimum contrast against the ground to allow for easy alignment and aim.

Rock has a very solid short game (2)

The big story of the week was Tiger’s start of the Mizuno JPX-800 Fairway Wood
, and even though he did not have the best of the final rounds, he has proved that he is almost back at his very best. The first three days, he was a picture of consistency. I saw him hit balls at the range, and I though his ball-striking was as good as in the finest moments of his career.
Of course, Tiger’s aim would have been to win the tournament, but I am sure he would have been very satisfied to have played his way into contention and getting a chance at winning the tournament. Mizuno JPX-800 Fairway Wood
Golf needs Tiger to be back at his best. There is no better proof of the immense drawing power of the 14-time Major champion than the Abu Dhabi tournament. I have never seen a crowd like that in the UAE capital in the six-year history of the tournament.
I was happy with my own effort even though there was a bit of rust here and there. A 24th place is a decent start to the season, and I hit the ball really well. This gives me a lot of confidence for this week’s Qatar, and hopefully, I should be at my best when I play the Mizuno JPX-800 Fairway Wood
