We take a look in the bag of BMW International Open winner Dan Brown.
Just a week after the death of friend, the Englishman showed nerves of steel to hold off countryman Jordan Smith and win his second DP World Tour title.
One year and 320 days on from his breakthrough victory at the ISPS HANDA World Invitational presented by AVIV Clinics in his rookie season on Golf's Global Tour, Brown carded a flawless final round of 66 to win by two shots at Golfclub München Eichenried.

With the Race to Dubai season now well into its second half, players are generally making less changes to their club selection, making slight tweaks to adjust to course conditions.
In Germany, Brown – who played on the EuroPro Tour before graduating to the HotelPlanner Tour in 2021 – had a set-up of driver, three wood, hybrid, four-nine iron, pitching wedge, 50, 54 and 58-degree wedges and putter.
In the only change to his bag from the KLM Open earlier in the European Swing, he added a new Ping I 240 four iron.
He will swap between hybrid and four iron depending on course conditions, opting for the Ping G440 – which he first started using at the Joburg Open instead of the G430 – last week. He’s had the three iron in for six events this year and the hybrid for six events too.
Brown, who was sixth for SG: Off the Tee on his way to victory, switched from the Ping G440 Max driver head to the G440 LST driver head at the Soudal Open after first using the model for the Nedbank Golf Challenge at the back end of last year.
You have to go a long way back for his last change with his irons, having used the Ping Blueprint S irons since the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open in 2023.

Driver: Ping, G440 LST
