This week, Aaron Rai announced himself to the greater golf world. While he’s far from an unknown—he entered the week as the 44th ranked men’s player in the world—he still wasn’t exactly a household name, but that changed when his brilliant back nine on Sunday at Aronimink Golf Club secured him the Wanamaker trophy and the first major win of his career.
For those just being introduced to Rai, he has some quirks. He wears gloves on both hands when he plays, and uses covers for the irons in his bag, with his caddie Jason Timmis dutifully returning each iron to its cover throughout the round.
