Overview
- Koepka, who noticed Thursday on the range that his Titleist GT3 had flipped from A1 to B1, said the flatter setup added unwanted fade to his drives.
- He and his team reset the club to A1 before Friday’s round, after which he hit nine fairways and posted a 69 compared with seven fairways and a 72 on Thursday.
- Data Golf tracked a swing from losing 0.41 strokes off the tee in Round 1 to gaining 0.86 in Round 2 after the fix.
- On the GT3, A1 is the standard setting, while B1 keeps loft the same but flattens the lie by 0.75 degrees, which nudges shots toward a fade.
- He sits at three under, tied for 13th at Augusta, as he chases a first Green Jacket in his return to the PGA Tour from LIV Golf.
