Mizuno used to win the iron count every year by a wide margin until the equipment contracts got ridiculous. If a player doesn't have an equipment contract, there's a really good chance he/she'll have Mizuno irons in the bag. The only reason they don't have a bigger presence on the main tour is their equipment contracts are limited. At least that's the way it used to be. I've been out of golf for at least a decade.
Edit: In sad unrelated news, I just looked up Lee Janzen. We're about the same age. We're both old geezers.
