At the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, it’s the weather that has been the big talking point<\/a>, as Storm Amy batters parts of Britain.<\/p>\n

However, although the weather has been poor, it hasn’t stopped players from scoring well in Scotland, with one of the individuals in contention being five-time Major winner Brooks Koepka<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finishing solo fourth at the FedEx Open de France<\/a>, the American has re-found some form after an underwhelming 2025, with Koepka also making a change to his bag in the run-up to the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship<\/a> this week.<\/p>\n

Having played a Nike Vapor Fly Pro 3-iron since 2016, it was revealed by SMS On Tour<\/a> that the LIV Golfer has now changed heads to a fresh Vapor Fly Pro, with Koepka continuing to use the club in Scotland.<\/p>\n

Although Nike ceased golf club manufacturing in 2016, instead focusing on footwear and apparel, the club is still wielded by Koepka, who fired rounds of five-under-par at Carnoustie and three-under at Kingsbarns to be four shots back of Robert MacIntyre and Richard Sterne in first.<\/p>\n

Amazingly, we believe it’s the first time ever that Koepka has changed his Vapor Fly Pro 3-iron in nearly a decade, with fellow countryman, Tony Finau<\/a>, also using the same model in his bag.<\/p>\n

Featuring a hollow body construction, Koepka has a Fujikura Pro 95 Tour Spec shaft in his 3-iron. In fact, both he and Finau have back-up heads and shafts of the Vapor Fly Pro club in case they do break or get damaged.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t just old clubs that were doing the rounds in terms of gear news on Tour, as new Wilson irons were spotted in Scotland.<\/p>\n

Little is known about the new Wilson Staff Model MBs, but what we do know is that the older model<\/a> provided stunning, classic shelf appeal and an incredibly soft feeling on centered strikes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, it’s the weather that has been the big talking point, as Storm…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":189414,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-189413","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-golf","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=189413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189413\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/189414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=189413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=189413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=189413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
