Playing a Pro V1 golf ball, TSR3 driver, T150 irons and NEW Vokey SM10 wedges, the winner of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur closed out her historic one-shot victory with an extraordinary birdie-birdie finish Saturday at Augusta National.
The ANWA champ stepped to the 14th tee needing to play her final five holes in 2 under to match the clubhouse leader – who had just set the ANWA final-round scoring record, making six birdies with her Pro V1x for a bogey-free 6-under 66. Instead, she played them in 3 under. The world's 4th-ranked amateur got up-and-down for par on 14, then birdied Nos. 15, 16 and 18 to secure her place in history.
On 18, the champion split the fairway with her TSR3 9.0 driver, leaving herself 130 yards uphill to the pin. From there, it was a T150 9-iron, which she hit to 15 feet above the hole to set up the winning moment.
Ten of the top 12 players heading into the final round of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur teed up a Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball, including the eventual champion who made three clutch birdies over the final four holes with her Pro V1.
The ANWA champ also led a 1-2-3 finish for Titleist golf ball players. They were the only three players to break 70 Saturday at Augusta National.
In total, 48 competitors teed up a Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball at ANWA, four times the nearest competitor (12).
Among those competing for the Augusta National Women’s Amateur title, more players used Titleist drivers (22/31%), fairway metals (36/30%), hybrids (22/29%), utilities (12/71%), iron sets (24/33%) and wedges (75/35%) than any other brand.
The ANWA champion gamed a TSR3 driver, TSR2 fairway metal, T150 irons and three NEW Vokey SM10 wedges among her Titleist setup.
Denny McCarthy (Pro V1) birdied eight of his final nine holes in regulation, including the last seven in a row, to force a playoff at TPC San Antonio. McCarthy’s back-nine 28 closed out a final round 63, three shots better than the next best final round.
For the week in Texas, McCarthy led in Strokes Gained: Around the Green (+7.93) and Scrambling, getting his Pro V1 up-and-down in 25 of 29 attempts (86%). He also gained over 5.5 shots on the field with his approach play (+5.67/7th).
The runner-up at this week’s Valero Texas Open made two key additions to his bag at the start of the week, making the switch to a TSR3 10.0 driver and a set of 620 CB 5-9 irons. He had previously been playing a competitive driver and irons.
In total, he had 13 Titleist clubs in the bag including, his T200 4-iron, four NEW Vokey Design SM10 wedges (48.10F, 52.12F, 56.08M, WedgeWorks 60L) and a Scotty Cameron GoLo 5 tour prototype putter, which he used to gain over seven shots on the field (+7.4, 3rd).
