Impressed after using Vaughn Taylor's Burner SuperFast driver from TaylorMade to swat a few drives, Justin Rose had one built to match the specs of his current driver and immediately put the new club in play at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

"I just kind of made an impulse decision yesterday," said Rose after the first round. "I was hitting the other one half decent, but something just didn't feel right. I changed and really drove it well today."

Pat Perez made two fairly radical changes at TPC Scottsdale and both worked out. First, he switched from Odyssey's White Hot XG 7 putter to a Scotty Cameron by Titleist Del Mar, a club Perez has had for eight years.

Second, he returned to a conventional style of putting after four years cross-handed. In addition, Perez also made a change in his irons, installing KBS shafts. "They keep the ball down a little bit lower, which I like," said Perez, who ranked T-38 in greens in regulation at the Waste Management event.

Appearing on David Letterman was fun, but the coolest thing since winning the US Open is how fans pull for you more. Getting applause every time I walk up to a green. That's different.

In a blog I wrote during the Ryder Cup, I called it "one of the greatest experiences of my professional life." As I said then, I hope I can do this again in 2010.
