The latest equipment news from the US Open Championship at Winged Foot.

Tour Gear Round Up: US Open 2020

The world's best golfers head to Winged Foot for the second Major of 2020, the US Open.

Of course much of the focus will be on the golf course and the playing of the tournament, but there are also lots of equipment stories to talk about too.

Below we have taken a look at some of them.

Dustin Johnson

Dustin Johnson is testing the new SIM DHY (19 degrees) with a Project X HZURDUS Smoke Black Hybrid 100 6.5 shaft. It has been reported he has been hitting it roughly 275 yards and with a mid-flight which could be a great choice for him off the tee.
