ST. LOUIS – Tommy Fleetwood will start the week at Bellerive with 14 clubs in the bag, but there’s always a chance he won’t end it that way.
The former Nike staffer is down to his final set of VR Pro Blade irons, and since Nike exited the hard goods business in 2016, there’s no way to replace them.
So what would happen if Fleetwood were to, for example, play a ball off a cart path and ding the face of his 7-iron?
“Yeah, I'll just be without a 7-iron,” he said. “It's not that big a deal if I do happen to break a club this week, then I will be one club down for the week.
