The youth movement on the PGA Tour gained more momentum over the weekend as 22-year-old Jason Day won the Byron Nelson Championship.
In Day’s winning hand on the greens was the TaylorMade Rossa Kia Ma Suzuka putter, which appears to be a prototype. While TaylorMade is releasing a new suite of 2010 Kia Ma putters soon, the Suzuka doesn’t appear to be one of the models.
Kia Ma is TaylorMade’s chief putter designer, and he frequently crafts highly customized putters for TaylorMade’s tour staff. Check out PutterZone.com’s account of visiting Kia Ma’s workshop for a peek inside the ropes of the custom putter world.
TaylorMade putters had a great weekend, as Blake Adams tied for second at the Nelson tournament with the new TaylorMade Ghost putter in hand.
