Graeme McDowell christens new clubs with fighting
To mark Graeme McDowell's arrival at the first event of the US PGA Tour's 2011 season with new discount golf clubs in his bag, a prominent golf magazine last week published a helpful list detailing the five "costliest equipment changes" in the history of sport.
Beneath ran a depressing litany of players who had celebrated major championship victories by signing big-money deals to play with a new brand of discount golf clubs only to discover their bank balance enhanced and their games ruined. The implication was unwritten but it was clear, as McDowell himself acknowledged last week on the eve of the Tournament of Champions in Hawaii. "I am sure a few people are scratching their heads," he said.
They were, but they are no more after the Northern Irishman produced the round of his Callaway X-24 Hot Irons , an 11-under-par 62 at Kapalua's Plantation course, in pursuit of the most remarkable victory of his career. He came up short, missing out on a play-off alongside the US pairing of Robert Garrigus and the eventual winner Jonathan Byrd by a shot. That minor statistical detail failed to dent McDowell's stratospheric reputation. The world rankings published today placed Callaway X-24 Hot Irons No5 but some American commentators are seriously suggesting the Irishman is the best player in the world right now.
Lee Westwood, who won his last Callaway X-24 Hot Irons of 2010, the Nedbank Challenge in South Africa, and will make his first appearance of 2011 in Abu Dhabi next week, will no doubt have something to say about that but regardless of rankings, both real and hypothetical, McDowell has at least buried the notion his 2010 US Open victory at Pebble Beach was a one-hit wonder.
He has won twice since, including a history-maker at the Chevron World Challenge in December, when he overcame a four-shot deficit on Tiger Woods on the final day. Famously, he also secured the point that won the Ryder Cup for Europe at Celtic Manor. Sunday's performance was a fourth top-five finish in seven events. It was all the sweeter against the backdrop of scepticism over his switch from Callaway X-24 Hot Irons to Srixon, a deal which reportedly will earn him £3m a year.
"It's great to come out and answer all of the questions this week," he said. "I realised it was going to be a difficult way to start the season, with new Callaway X-24 Hot Irons in the bag, coming off the back of last year. There was always going to be questions. And it's great to come here and perform the way I have and show people that all I've done is move from one great golf company to another great golf company."
Spoken like a grateful pitchman, although it was noticeable McDowell has stuck with the one piece of equipment that has symbolised his ascent of the hierarchy, his Odyssey Backstryke 2-Ball Putter . Time and again during the past year he has holed crucial putts, most memorably two 20-foot efforts on the 72nd green and then on the first extra hole to deny Woods at the Chevron, and he did it again on Sunday afternoon in Hawaii.
Six shots adrift of the overnight leaders at the start of the final round, McDowell halved the deficit by the turn and bridged it by the 16th hole after holing four successive birdie putts. There may be better ball-strikers in the modern game but no one, with the exception of Woods in his prime, has putted so well under pressure as the Northern Irishman.
"I wasn't going out there trying to play aggressive trying to win an Odyssey Backstryke 2-Ball Putter , I was trying to have a good day and trying to cap off a great week," he said afterwards. "But when I birdied the 16th I thought I had a chance."
In the end he was undone by the one apparent weakness in his game – his lack of length off the tee, at least by the standards of the modern game.
While others, including Garrigus, were able to reach the par-five 18th in two shots, McDowell needed three. He hit his approach to 10 feet but, in the biggest shock of the day, he missed the Odyssey Backstryke 2-Ball Putter . "I just hit it too hard," he said.
