A 20-foot eagle putt on the third gave Ryder Cup Swede Peter Hanson the advantage on the final day of the TaylorMade R11 Driver
in Bahrain.

Hanson and England's Paul Casey shared the overnight lead, but they were overtaken by Northern Irishman Darren Clarke and South African James Kingston before Hanson struck back.
He moved to 18 under par, while Casey's four opening pars dropped him to fifth place with Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez joining Clarke and Kingston on 17 under.
The TaylorMade R11 Driver
is the next revolution in golf club adjustability, combining Adjustable Sole Plate (ASP) Technology, Flight Control Technology (FCT) and Moveable Weight Technology (MWT).
The Introduction of Adjustable Sole Plate (ASP) Technology allows players the ability to adjust the face angle independently of the loft, which is controlled by Flight Control Technology (FCT). The ASP sole plate provides ±2° of face angle change (neutral/square, 2° open, 2° closed). You can create three lofts with the same face angle, or you can further accentuate a face angle or counter a negative face angle. Plus, the combination of ASP and FCT effectively doubles the range of face angle for the club for ±2° to ±4°. Altogether, the combination of ASP, FCT and MWT gives golfers 48 ways to set up the TaylorMade R11 Driver
to promote up to 100 yards of side-to-side trajectory adjustment, the most of any driver in existence. Combining full FCT and MWT settings promotes a launch-condition range of 2° launch angle and 1,000 RPM. The FCT system is extremely sleek and streamlined, resulting in less mass and a lower clubhead CG location compared to hosel adjustability systems in competitive drivers.
The TaylorMade R11 Driver
includes two weight cartridges weighing 10-grams and 1-gram. To create a neutral bias, install the heavy (10-gram) weight in the toe, for a draw bias, put the heavy weight in the heel. If a more neutral setting is desired, 4 and 6-gram weights are available separately
