2021 Most Wanted Player’s Iron: Callaway Apex Pro

In data we trust. This statement holds especially true when it comes to the performance of the Callaway Apex Pro. With a 0.1542 Strokes Gained, it took the 2021 Best Player’s Iron crown. Its Strokes Gained score is 0.081 better than the runner-up. Quite the accomplishment. Here are the noteworthy data points:

On June 5, Jon Rahm had to withdraw from the Memorial. Fifteen days later, he was holding the U.S. Open trophy, winning his first major championship.

Introducing the new 2021 A-GRIND BX-PROTO Driving Iron!  A-Grind has produced a beautiful players driving iron which is actually bendable in both loft and lie angle thanks to its soft forged S20C body.  This is a key feature of the BX-PROTO as it allows players to go as upright or flat as they need to make proper contact with the turf and ultimately the ball.

The face is made of high-strength SUS455 steel for more distance and combine that with the forgiveness of a hollow body and you have a serious contender in the driving iron segment.   The BX-PROTO also features a toe weight to increase MOI and center the sweet spot.

The BX-PROTO has a playeresque sole with both a leading and trailing edge grind that is not only attractive but very functional in preventing digging for steeper swings but also narrowing the effective sole width along with making the head easier to manipulate at address.  This is known as the double-cut sole which is often seen on players’ irons and not as often in driving irons.

At address, this is one of the very best-looking driving irons we have seen if you prefer minimal offset and a straightforward shape that doesn’t look funky and overly rounded.  The top line is cut diagonally to reduce the visual thickness of the topline.

The head is Finished in Black IP  and the standard weight is 4g with optional 2g stainless and  6g tungsten weights available for $20 each.  Available in 18/21/24/27* lofts and we offer head only or can install many high-end steel or carbon shafts.  Currently, Fujikura MCH has the best and most stable reviews for this segment based on customer feedback.

Jon Rahm and the USGA did well on Michael Collins' report card. Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka ... not so much.

The final round of the U.S. Open was anything but boring. As it unfolded, it was hard to imagine what might happen next.

Bryson DeChambeau had gone 30 consecutive holes without a bogey before things imploded on the back nine for the defending U.S. Open champion. He shot a final-round 6-over 77, finishing in a tie for 26th at Torrey Pines.

Rory McIlroy, in position to secure what would have been his fifth major and first since 2014, three-putted the 11th for bogey and then double-bogeyed the 12th to end up tied for seventh at the U.S. Open.

Jon Rahm becomes the first Spaniard to win the U.S. Open.

Nelly Korda became the first two-time winner on the LPGA Tour this season, closing with a 5-under 67 on Sunday for a 2-stroke victory in the Meijer LPGA Classic on Sunday.

Phil Mickelson's week at Torrey Pines ended with a closing 75, putting him at 11-over 295 for the week, but he praised the way his hometown course played.

Mackenzie Hughes and Louis Oosthuizen each sank eagle putts Saturday and joined Russell Henley atop the leaderboard at the U.S. Open, with Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau both looming 2 shots behind.

Here are the tee times for the final round of the 2021 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines.

It's been a long time since Rory McIlroy won a major. Bryson DeChamebeau won this one last year. Other big names are lurking, while some lesser-known names lead. So who walks away with the U.S. Open trophy.
