Retief Goosen, South Africa, golf clubs and balls Among the hottest players on tour, two-time US Open champion Retief Goosen did it again in March, shooting a final-day one under par 70 to capture the Transition Championship at Innisbrook Copperhead Course in Palm Harbour. With narrow fairways, deep greenside rough, and firm, exceptionally fast greens - add in some wind - and Innisbrook can dish out one of the toughest Sundays a pro is likely to face all year. Believe it or not, even golf balls are optimised for weather conditions, with Goosen using a Taylor-made Tour Preferred ball. It's designed to provide extra spin and holds its line in the wind. Also in Goosen's golf bag are Taylor-made Tour Preferred Irons and Tour Burner woods. www.taylormadegolf.com
