Three-time Major champion Padraig Harrington shares key fundamentals for successful bunker play. He demonstrates proper address position, opening the clubface to use bounce, and maintaining acceleration through the sand.
Open the clubface before taking your grip to expose the bounce of the wedge.
Position your feet firmly in the sand and keep weight slightly on your lead side.
Aim to enter the sand 1 to 2 inches behind the ball rather than striking the ball directly.
Accelerate fully through impact to let the sand splash the ball out onto the green.
