Nico Echavarria won the Cognizant Classic on Sunday as the beneficiary of Shane Lowry’s stunning “Bear Trap” collapse over the final three holes.

This is Echavarria’s third career PGA Tour win, but first since joining Cleveland/Srixon last season after he started his PGA Tour career with PXG.

The 31-year-old plays a split set of the company’s flagship ZXi5 and ZXi7 irons, and marks the company’s first PGA Tour victory since a run of three-straight last summer, including J.J. Spaun’s U.S. Open title.

Taking a look at his specs, Echavarria has an interesting quirk in the build of his irons where he uses Nippon’s Modus Tour 120 X shaft in his ZXi5 4- and 5-irons before moving to a heavier 125 X profile. While having a lighter shaft in the long irons isn’t that rare, what makes this really interesting is the 120 g and 125 g versions of the Modus shaft are actually two different profiles.

While we don’t know for sure, the 120 X is probably used to help get his long iron launch up without adding too much spin, while the heavier 125 is stouter for more control throughout the rest of the set.

Echavarria plays a prototype version of the Srixon ZXi driver, similar to the one played by his opponent, Lowry, and Hideki Matsuyama, who won with it at the Hero World Challenge. But, Echvavarria’s victory is the first official PGA Tour win for the ZXi.

He also plays the company’s Z-Star Diamond golf ball and Cleveland’s RTZ wedges.

For his fairway woods, Echvararria continues the clean sweep of the season for TaylorMade fairway woods with his Qi10 3-wood. Every winner so far this PGA Tour season plays a TaylorMade fairway wood and all but Echavarria carried two in the bag. His 5-wood is the only remaining PXG club in his bag, a new Lightning.
