1. in irons

   Legcuffs are physical restraints used on the ankles of a person to allow walking only with a restricted stride and to prevent running and effective physical resistance. Frequently used alternative terms are leg cuffs, (leg/ankle) shackles, footcuffs, fetters or leg irons. The term "fetter" shares a root with the word "foot". Shackles are typically used on prisoners and slaves. Leg shackles also are used for chain gangs to keep them together.Metaphorically, a fetter may be anything that restricts or restrains in any way, hence the word "unfettered".

   Hes driving it 330 yards in the middle of the fairway. Hes got 9-irons when most of us are hitting 5-irons, 4-irons, and hes putting well, that adds up to a pretty substantial lead, and if he keeps doing what hes doing, theres no reason why he cant build on this lead.

4. Matt Jones:

   I drove it well, hit irons well, it was one of those rounds. I have five gimmes for birdies, made a couple of par putts. I was never in any trouble. I can't remember any day when Pebble was so subdued. The whole course looked like a postcard. Ever since I've been a pro, I've never seen it look that pretty.
