This week Rickie Fowler, Ian Poulter and Jonas Blixt are competing in the 2012 Waste Management Phoenix Open. Ian Poulter is coming off of a win at the 2011 JBWere Australian Masters; Jonas is in his rookie year on the PGA Tour and Rickie is coming fresh off of a T13 finish at The Farmers Insurance Open where he put his new COBRA Clubs into play for the first time.

All three golfers are equipped with the latest and greatest product from COBRA Golf. Rickie is currently playing the AMP Driver, AMP 3Wood and AMP Pro Prototype Irons; Ian is in the white ZL Encore Driver, AMP 3Wood, Baffle Rail 2/H and S3 Pro Irons; Jonas is playing the black/electric yellow ZL Encore Driver, S9-1 Pro 15 Fairway, AMP 2/H and S3 Pro MB Irons. 

Last year, the Phoenix Open hosted a Green Out during Saturday's round to raise money for Arizona Clean & Beautiful. They asked fans and players to turn up in their latest green gear. Keep an eye out to see what our three men will be wearing on course. Jonas is half way there with a black and electric green staff bag (new from COBRA!).

All three golfers were out on Wednesday getting some practice in ahead of the first round of competition on Thursday. Check out photos from their practice time here.
