He won in Qatar this year. Averages 314.2 off the tee. In comparison, Bubba is averaging 310.4 on the USPGA where they play in better conditions than the EPGA, a point Alvaro himself makes in the following video (which includes an iron swing):

What do you guys think of his move? This guy is loading the hell out of the club with his dynamite pivot! Money quote from a link that discusses some Trackman-gathered info:

Via: http://golf.mizunoeurope.com/tour/workshop_diary.php?article=2007_04_05Alvaro produces incredible club head speed. With a driver, he’s around 120 mph! That’s very much comparable to a Tiger - or a Wild Thing. And his ball speed with a driver was between 175 and 180 mph! That’s very impressive. Definitely Tiger territory. We worked with his irons as well. We seem to be working quite a bit with him this year, trying to get his irons right. Getting a shaft stiff enough for him, is quite tricky. He was hitting his two-iron into this 30 mph wind, with a 240-yard carry! Absolutely astonishing. I’ve never seen any player hit anywhere near that, apart from Tiger Woods. He’s seriously impressive, is Alvaro.
