Surely the PGA Tour's fastest swinger would be opposed to any rollback of the golf ball?
Well, not exactly.
Brandon Matthews, who leads the Tour in average clubhead speed (126.6 mph) and ranks second in average driving distance (320.4 yards), responded to Tuesday's news that the USGA and R&A were attempting to curb hitting distance with a proposal that would modify the testing conditions for golf balls used in elite competition via model local rule by January 2026.
"I think it was a long time coming," Matthews told Golf Channel from the Valspar Championship.
