AUSTIN, Texas – Rory McIlroy made the week’s most high-profile equipment change with a move to a shorter driver shaft, but Billy Horschel made the most dramatic moves at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play.
Horschel – who defeated world No. 2 Jon Rahm Friday, 5 and 4, to advance to the Sweet 16 – changed both his putter and his golf ball this week.
The decision to switch putters was not voluntary. Horschel explained that when he arrived in Austin he noticed his putter was bent.
“Travel probably,” he said when asked how it was bent.
