The recently turned professional, Davis Thompson, has been slaying it on the golf course. The 6ft 4in tall rookie in 2023, fell 1 stroke short against Jon Rahm to win his first PGA Tour title, the American Express.
But it didn’t take him a minute to get the first as he won the 2024 John Deere Classic with a 4-shot lead. Not only this, he became the first player to record 72 holes total of 256 or lower (even breaking the record of Ludvig Aberg for the lowest 72-hole total on tour at the RSM Classic in 2023!).
Dude’s been on a heater, and his golf essentials link up like hot dogs and chili. The American professional is placed in 6th place for his scoring average of 69.926. For low scoring, the great driving distance of 306.6 on average is the major aspect for the golfer. To ensure great distance coverage, he uses Titleist GT3 Driver with 9 degrees loft. The driver with the classic Titleist design offers great ball flight with extreme forgiveness, making it an ideal option at $600.
Further, the golfer uses the GT1 Fairway from Titleist with 18 degrees loft. The shallow face profile with the lightweight construction of the club offers a clean and high launch with exceptional forgiveness. Priced at $399, the lightweight, fast-launching option is ideal to carry.
Additionally, the 39-ranked golfer carries Titleist T150 (4 iron) and Titleist 620 MB (5-9 iron) for the perfect shot to reach the greens. The T150 is an upgraded version of the T100, offering better speed, distance, and forgiveness. While the 620 MB is among the top picks of golfers, including Justin Thomas, Max Homa, and others. The $1800 and $1400 price for the set makes it an ideal choice for pure golfing delight.
Davis Thompson picks for the final shots
After covering the majority of the course, the golfer takes out his Titleist Vokey Design SM10 Wedges. He carries a variety of them with different lofts including, 46.10F, 50.08F, 54.12D, and 60.04T. The greatly designed wedges offer an ultimate experience for the full sole shots with versatility for swing and course conditions. The $189 wedge is one of the best options, offering optimized flight with increased spin.
After the great setup, his final pick to end the round is the Odyssey White Hot OG Seven Putter. The double bend face-balanced mallet offers an optimum balance and precision to convert every opportunity. Even Davis Thompson has achieved 4.17 birdies averages with the $200 (approx.) Putter.
At last, he has the Titleist Pro V1 ball, which with its firm feel and faster launch offers a complete experience at the course. Priced at $55 makes it a viable option to carry.
The 25-year-old who missed out on beating fan’s favorite Rahm in 2023, is on a quest to achieve the best performance. His gear’s lookin’ solid, think Davis Thompson’s gonna be a problem on tour? Drop your hot takes below!
