Davis Riley picked up his 2nd career PGA Tour victory with a five-stroke win at the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club. Making his 2nd victory perhaps a bit sweeter than his first was the fact this win wasn’t in a team event, with his other victory coming at the 2023 Zurich Classic in which he partnered with Nick Hardy for the win.

Riley is a Titleist staffer and his winning bag features all Titleist equipment with one exception.

Starting off Riley’s winning bag is a Titleist TSR3 driver with a 9 degree head. He plays that with a Project X HZRDUS Smoke Green RDX 65 TX shaft in it. The TSR3 provides the most versatility among the TSR models, and a lower-spinning option compared to the TSR1 and TSR2 design, giving it some more workability and some added distance. It served Riley well throughout the tournament, especially in the distance category where he averaged 312.7 yards off the tee, 18th best in the field. While he only hit over 57 percent of the fairways, which was tied for 38th best, he was still in good position for most of the tournament, which helped him finish 6th in Strokes Gained Off The Tee, gaining 3.658 strokes on the field from the tee box.

Moving to Riley’s fairway wood, where he ventures away from Titleist for the only time, playing a Callaway Ai-Smoke Max. While Riley opts for a more versatile, lower-spinning option for his driver, he alters course with his 3-wood, not just by brand, but by style, going with the Ai-Smoke Max, the more forgiving head. This isn’t an uncommon theme among Tour players, as many have opted for an easier to launch, more forgiving wood to hit into par 5’s and give themself a touch more stopping power when doing so.

For his irons, Riley combos three different Titleist models, playing a T200 for his 3-iron, T100’s for his 4 through 6-irons, and then going with the 620 MB’s for his 7-9 irons. He plays his T200 3-Iron with a Fujikura Ventus Black HB 10 TX shaft in it, while the rest of his irons all have KBS Tour C-Taper 125 S+ shafts in them. They were one of the stars of Riley’s victory, helping him hit 49 of 72 greens in regulation, which was tied for 3rd best for the tournament. That precision into the greens helped Riley finish 2nd in the field in Strokes Gained Approach to Green, with him gaining 7.869 strokes on the field there.

Wedges: Titleist Vokey Design SM10 (46, 50, 56, 58)

Riley plays the newest Vokey SM10 wedge for all four of his wedges, including a 46-degree in place of a pitching wedge. All his Vokey wedges have True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts in them. Both his 46 and 50 had F grinds, giving him two more full swing options to attack the green with, while he went with an M grind for his 56 and a T grind for his 60. They played a major role in that outstanding performance Approach to Green, and were ok around the green. He converted 16 of his 23 scrambling opportunities, and 4 of his 7 sand save chances, but overall he actually lost 0.111 strokes to the field around the green.

We finally get to the final part of Riley’s bag, a putter, as he uses a Scotty Cameron Phantom X 7.2 Tour Prototype for his flatstick. While his scrambling ability around the green was just average, his putting more than made up for it. Riley led the field in putts per GIR, averaging 1.61 putts on the greens when he found it in regulation. That helped lead him to a 4th place finish in Strokes Gained Putting, gaining 5.921 strokes on the field from the putting surface. That performance on the greens combined with his approach game were the catalysts behind his victory, and helped him cruise rather easily to the victory.
