Ryan Moore In The Bag: The Shriners Hospitals for Children Open Winning Clubs
Published: Last updated:
Ryan Moore won the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open on Sunday to claim his second PGA Tour title, after a nervy final-round tussle with Brendon de Jonge.
The American and Zimbabwean were tied on -19 with Swede Jonas Blixt after round three, but Blixt bogeyed the par-4 first and only recorded two further birdies, to leave it to a two man fight.
The decisive blow finally went the American’s way at the par-5 16th, as he made a brave 215-yard carry over water to set-up a two-putt birdie to move one in-front.
“The last couple of days were tough,” said Moore. “I was shot for shot with Brendon, and he was playing some great golf. I was able to make a birdie down the stretch when it mattered to hold him off at the end.
“I tried not to get too wrapped up into what he was doing really for the last two days. I just tried to keep my head and just keep hitting my golf shots, and playing the golf course how I wanted to play it and just give myself opportunities.”
Australian Jason Day moved within three strokes of Moore and de Jonge with a birdie on 16, but closed with a double bogey on the par-4 18th to finish fourth at 18-under.
Here are the clubs that Moore used to claim victory:
Driver: TaylorMade Rocketballz

Hybrid: Adams Adams Idea Super XTD (15°, 17°); Idea Pro a12 (20°)
Irons: Ping i20 long irons and s56 short irons
