As the best golfers in the world descend on Oakmont Country Club for ‘the toughest test in golf’ at the 125th US Open, much of the focus will be on driving accuracy due to the narrow fairways and lush long rough. However, it’s around the greens where I feel this prestigious event could be won or lost and where a far less celebrated club could hold the key to success - the lob wedge. While the Titleist Vokey SM10 wedges often dominate the wedge count each week on tour, it’s one of the brand's more specialized Wedgeworks designs that I think could be the secret to winning the third major championship of the year.
