The winner of the Rex Hospital Open on Sunday played Nippon Shaft N.S.PRO MODUS³ Tour 130 X-flex steel shafts in his irons and took home his first Tour victory, as well as a first-place cheque of $117,000.
It was the 135th victory for the MODUS3 shafts on pro tours worldwide, according to the company.
