Steven Fisk Wins First PGA Tour Title With Older, Discounted Woods

His Sanderson Farms breakthrough shows tour-ready results can come from proven gear rather than the newest releases.

Overview

  • Fisk won using a Mizuno ST-Z 230 driver, a 2023 release still in production that retailers list at about $300.
  • He paired Ping G430 Max 3- and 7-woods, widely available around $290 even after the line was succeeded by G440.
  • At Sanderson Farms, he ranked fifth in strokes gained off the tee, picking up just under four shots for the week.
  • Most of his setup features early-2020s models, with only his ST-Z 230 driver and a Vokey SM10 lob wedge counted as current-line offerings.
  • Mizuno points to the ST-Z’s Cortech Chamber technology as validation of its wood designs as it works to expand its reputation beyond irons and wedges.
