Iron play is extremely important for success in the game of golf, especially on the PGA Tour.
It can make up for weak aspects of a player’s game. For example, if a player consistently hits his iron shots close to the hole, it can make up for struggles with chipping and putting. Also, many of the best iron players are consistent winners on the PGA Tour.
Here are the best iron players on the PGA Tour entering the British Open.
