The 32-year-old Spaniard, who claimed his first victory on American soil since ousting Paul Goydos in a playoff at the 2008 Players Championship, raced into contention with a flawless second-round 63 before taking control of the event with weekend rounds of 66. Garcia sported a full set of TaylorMade bats, including the R11s Driver australia, Taylormade Stage 2 Fairway Wood and r11 irons, and adidas Golf apparel - comprising the brand’s new athletic-style crossflex footwear. The company says the TaylorMade R11 Irons break that mold and re-writes the book about what a high-technology iron can look like, feel like and sound like. A key feature of the R11, its claimed, is the striking red precision-weighting port (PWP), initially introduced in the Tour Preferred (TP) line which allows TaylorMade engineers to guarantee precise swingweight and ensure a centre-face Centre of Gravity (CG) location in every iron to promote the best ball flight across all irons in the set. Regarded as one of the best ball strikers on the planet from tee to green, it was little surprise to see the eight-time PGA Tour champion average 302 yards off the tee at Sedgefield Country Club, on top of finding 73% of the fairways and 72% of the greens in regulation. But the discount golf clubs that has often been a cause for concern in the past for Garcia was the one that shone brightest at the weather-interrupted event, as the Spaniard ranked second in putts-per-round with a stellar average of 26.8 on the lightning fast greens. “I made some really good four and five-footers when I had to,” said the newly-promoted World No.17, who was wielding the TaylorMade Ghost Tour. Garcia, who secures his place in a sixth European Ryder Cup side next month, was also adorning new adidas Golf crossflex footwear - which launched last week - designed to deliver lightweight performance, spikeless traction and increased flexibility. “When I first tested the new crossflex shoe I didn’t want to take them off,” he added. “They are by far the most comfortable golf shoes I’ve ever worn; they feel more like a running shoe.”
