If there is one lesson I've learned from this article, it's that the adage "It's not the arrow, it's the Indian" is so true! All of these Pros, who are the best iron players based on their par 3 scoring average, play different irons! Phil Mickelson at #2 and Freddie Jacobson at T4 play the same brand but different models! So here is the moral of the story: Next time you have $1000 to spend, don't buy the latest clubs, take some lessons!
Thanks to E. Michael Johnson of Golf Digest for this interesting article!
If you're going to be in contention early in the season, your par-3 scoring stats must be decent. That's particularly true at last week's Honda Classic, where PGA National's Championship Course has four good ones, including two (No's. 15 and 17) in the three-hole “Bear Trap” stretch.
These six players on the PGA Tour have had the most success on par 3s so far in the 2015-’16 season. Here's a look at their stats and a breakdown of which irons they play.
1. Jerry Kelly, 2.88 stroke average. Irons: Srixon Z Forged
Kelly (below) goes for a throwback look in his irons as Srixon’s Z Forged are a muscleback blade designed for maximum workability instead of having a high forgiveness factor.
2. Phil Mickelson, 2.89 stroke average. Irons: Callaway Apex Pro 16
The Callaway Apex irons in Mickelson’s bag first went in play at the CareerBuilder Challenge in January. Mickelson made the switch based on a better look along with a more rounded leading edge that he felt enhanced turf interaction. Lefty uses KBS Tour V 125 shafts in his irons.
