FINAL LEADERBOARD
EQUIPMENT NOTES:
Ko tends to be a player that mixes and matches brands in her bag and makes fairly regular changes, particularly with the driver and putter. The 10-time LPGA Tour winner has had Titleist’s TSi3 driver in the bag for a number of months now, while her Scotty Cameron is a recent addition and a very successful one. Ko put the new flatstick in play just over a month ago when at home in Korea, and since returning to the U.S. has finished inside the top-10 four times with two wins.Recently adding a second hybrid to her bag, Ko’s Bridgestone irons are not offered in the U.S. or Australian markets, while she interestingly carries a highest lofted wedge of just 56°. The combination of hybrids, irons and three wedges helping her to once again put on an extremely impressive ball striking performance.
Ko’s win is the third from the last four events on the LPGA Tour for Titleist golf balls and part of a three win weekend for the brand across the European, PGA and LPGA Tours
QUOTE: “I changed this putter five or six weeks ago in Korea, and I use this putter four weeks in a row from the Portland and here. I got two wins with this putter and two top-10s, so, yeah, I think I will love to this putter.” – Jin Young Ko.
