Every other year when the Ryder Cup arrives, 24 players have to leave aside their individual play and come together to represent their country. Not just players but fans join hands too, rooting for their teams together, to bring the cup home. This brings along tremendous support from everyone, including Vokey Design’s Aaron Dill, who customized special wedges for Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas.

 

While Thomas qualified automatically, Spieth was the player chosen by US Captain Steve Stricker. Notably, Spieth is one of the most experienced Ryder Cuppers on the rather Rookie US team.
