THREE WINS IN FOUR WEEKS ON PGA TOUR FOR VOKEY LOW BOUNCE K PLAYERS

Robert MacIntyre’s victory with his WedgeWorks 60.06K lob wedge makes it  three wins in four weeks on the PGA TOUR for Vokey Design WedgeWorks Low Bounce K players, with the grind also being used by the winners of the  PGA Championship  and  Wells Fargo Championship.

The Low Bounce K was also used by this week’s winners on the  DP World Tour, Korn Ferry Tour  and  Korean Tour.

Featuring 6 degrees of bounce, the Low Bounce K was born out of Master Craftsman Bob Vokey and longtime Vokey tour representative Aaron Dill’s collaboration with players on the PGA TOUR and across the worldwide professional tours. It provides players the versatility required to open the face and hit higher, softer shots off tight lies around the green while offering forgiveness out of the bunker due to the grind’s sole width.

DP WORLD TOUR | European Open

Laurie Canter (Pro V1)  broke through with his first career win on the DP World Tour, shooting 13 under for the week in Germany to win by two. Canter, who opened the week with rounds of 68-66 around the difficult par-73 setup, made three back-nine birdies on Sunday to separate from the pack.

Canter has been dialed in all season from tee to green; he ranks second in Strokes Gained: Off the Tee (+1.07), fifth in Scrambling (66%) and ninth in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green (+1.37) for the ‘23-24 season. With the win, he moves to No. 8 in the season-long Race to Dubai standings, up 18 spots from his previous position.
