Sam Burns WITB: The Open

Fresh off his runner up finish at Shinnecock, Sam Burns carded a 62 on Friday to tie the lowest round in major championship history. Here’s a look at the Callaway gear in his bag.

• Quantum Triple Diamond Driver (9°) – Fujikura Ventus Blue 7 TX shaft
• Quantum Triple Diamond Fairway Wood (15°) – Mitsubishi Tensei 1K White 70 TX shaft
• X Forged UT (21°) – Fujikura Ventus Black HB 10X Shaft
• Apex MB Irons (4-PW) – Project X 6.5 shafts
• Odyssey Ai-ONE 7 S Putter
• A Chrome Tour X Ball

Burns was the first player to put a Quantum Driver in the bag in competition for the Hero World Challenge in December, where he led the field in driving distance. The Quantum lineup is led by our revolutionary new Tri-Force Face that’s designed for exceptional speed, distance, and spin consistency. Tri-Force layers 3 distinct materials  – Titanium, Poly Mesh, and Carbon Fiber -  into a fully integrated speed system.

The ultra-thin, high-strength Titanium is designed for pure speed, the Poly Mesh is a military-grade polymer that binds the layers, and Carbon Fiber reinforces the face structure, allowing for greater flex and faster recovery. This advanced multi-material construction has never been used in a driver face before. The other 62 today from Royal Birkdale also came with a Quantum Triple Diamond Driver in the bag!

Sam’s bag also includes a Chrome Tour X Golf Ball. The combination of exceptional ball speeds, enhanced ball flight consistency, and outstanding greenside control is helping the best players in the game under pressure. And the putter has been a mainstay in Sam’s bag with our iconic #7 shape and Ai-ONE insert for more consistency across the face.
