Winner's bag: See clubs Scottie Scheffler used to win PGA Championship, third major title

Scottie Scheffler claimed his third major title, running away with victory on the final nine at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, to win the PGA Championship by five strokes.

Compared to his record-tying setup that he used to win THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson in his last outing at TPC Craig Ranch, Scheffler opted for a TaylorMade Qi35 7-wood at 21 degrees, instead of his Srixon ZU85 3-iron.

The decision was made to start the week, to deal with the thick rough and tough conditions in Charlotte, which warranted a higher launching ball flight with the longer clubs.

"The golf course is going to play really long, the rough is thick, and the run-up areas after this kind of rain are going to be really soft, and the greens are still going to be really firm because they're new," Scheffler said during his pre-tournament press conference. "You have to be able to land the ball up on the green. You can't really run it up around this golf course. That's one aspect that you've got to think about."

According to TaylorMade, Scheffler's self-dubbed “high one” launched at 14.9 degrees at 5175 RPM with the carry distance at 245 yards at 160 mph ball speed.

Also, the now 15-time PGA TOUR winner also secured his third major championship with a backup driver in play. With driver testing a hot topic during the week, following a report that Rory McIlroy's driver had failed the test, known as a Characteristic Time (CT) test, that measures the springlike effect of a driver face, Scheffler's TaylorMade Qi10 had also succumbed to the same fate.

But, as per, Scheffler and his team were already on top of it.

“We were prepared for it,” he said. "Actually the week of the Byron, we were really focused on getting a backup for that tournament and this one. ... Like I said, we were really prepared. So it wasn't that big of a deal."

It's safe to say the backup will be in the bag for a while now, though.
