Rickie Fowler drove his way to victory at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship as he beat a world class field to claim his second European Tour title. The former Ryder Cup star held off the challenge of Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, Henrik Stenson and most notably Thomas Pieters to win by one shot.
Fowler’s driving was key to his victory, using a King Cobra LTD 8.5° he averaged 291.1 yards from the tee hitting 69.6% of fairways, the fourth best in field.
His iron play was just as consistent as he hit 77.8% of greens, using a set of King Cobra MB Irons (3-9), the tenth best in field.
Rickie’s good play from the tees and fairways was complemented by his execution on the greens where he averaged 1.714 putts per GIR, the 20th best in field. Using a Titleist, Scotty Cameron Newport 2 he averaged 28.8 putts per round, the 21st best in field.
