Here at GolfDiscount.com, we seem to have covered the sentimental and emotional side of this years British Open pretty extensively. And before I break down and cry thinking of what might have been, I’d like to stop and give credit to the man who actually made the big putts when it mattered, a deserving champion and new owner of the Claret Jug, Stewart Cink. I’d also like to talk about his golf clubs.

Quickly, lest we get distracted yet again, Tom Watson made his run at history with the following hardware: Driver – Adams Speedline; Hybrid – Adams Idea Pro; Irons – Adams Idea Pro; Wedges – Adams Puglielli and Tom Watson; Putter – Odyssey White Hot XG #7; and Ball – Titleist ProV1.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, we can go back to the business of forgetting Watson’s loss and focusing more on Cink’s win. For those of you keeping score at home, Cink’s victory marks the second major win in a row for a Nike player (the fact that neither of these players is named Tiger Woods only makes things more impressive, or more unbelievable, or both). Starting with the big stick, Cink tee’d up a Nike SQ Sumo 2 Tour to go along with his Sumo Fairway Wood. Playing cavity backs in his 3 and 4 irons, Stewart switches to the Nike CCI Forged Irons in 5 through PW for more feel, playability and precision. Cink plays a flatstick from Yes! (the Lizzy) and could be seen sporting a Nike Tour Perforated Cap as he celebrated the first major victory of his career.

To hear about the whole set-up from the man himself, check this out. I would recommend paying special attention to Stewart’s awesome ball marker choices.
