Spieth switches back to old Titleist irons at Deutsche Bank
NORTON, Mass. – Titleist officials confirmed Jordan Spieth played TPC Boston on Tuesday using the 714 AP2 irons he had in the bag when he won this year’s Masters and U.S. Open. When the two-time major-winner arrived on the practice range at 4 p.m. Wednesday, those irons were still in his bag.
Last week, before the start of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, Spieth turned heads when he decided to switch his irons and go with a set of the yet-to-be-released Titleist 716 AP2 irons. Titleist made a set of those irons for Spieth and gave them to the Texan to try, but the company’s PGA Tour reps had anticipated Spieth would transition into the new clubs during his off-weeks after the Presidents Cup.
Spieth missed his third cut of the season last week, shooting 74-73 at Plainfield Country Club.
This week’s Deutsche Bank Championship starts Friday, and Titleist’s Tour reps expect Spieth to use the older irons, which have Project X 6.0 shafts.
