CARLSBAD, Calif., June 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Jon Rahm
provided one of the most thrilling finishes in major championship
history at Torrey Pines and
captured his first career major win on Sunday at the U.S. Open.
Rahm trusted Callaway Golf (NYSE: ELY) equipment and an Odyssey
Putter throughout the week, birdied the final two holes in
regulation to clinch the victory, and vaulted to #1 in the Official
World Golf Rankings.
With a combination of his Callaway Epic Speed Driver,
Callaway Irons, and a Callaway
Chrome Soft X Golf Ball, the 26-year-old golf superstar played
exceptionally from tee-to-green on the difficult Torrey Pines setup and hit clutch shots
throughout his spectacular final round 67.
The Chrome Soft Golf Ball Family isn't just better, it's better
for everyone. In fact, this is the second consecutive PGA TOUR
major win for a Chrome Soft X after Phil
Mickelson used a Chrome Soft X Triple Track in his historic
victory at the PGA Championship.
Rahm's winning driver is engineered with Callaway's A.I.
designed Jailbreak Speed Frame. By applying Artificial
Intelligence, this structure improves stability in the horizontal
and torsional directions for increased ball speeds across the face.
This is the second consecutive PGA TOUR major win for Epic Speed as
well following Mickelson's win last month.
Rahm joined Callaway Golf as a Staff Professional in January of
this year. Speaking after his first major victory, Jon commented
that, "My new equipment (including the new ball) allowed me to hit
certain shots that I simply wasn't capable of before."
In his bag this week from Callaway Golf and Odyssey:
Callaway Epic Speed Driver, 10.5-degree
Callaway Epic Speed Fairway Woods, 15-degree and 18-degree
Callaway Apex TCB Irons, 4-PW
Callaway JAWS Forged Wedges, 52-, 56-, 60-degree
Odyssey White Hot OG Rossie S Putter
Callaway Chrome Soft X Golf Ball
It was an unforgettable Father's Day on Sunday for Rahm, who
welcomed his first child in April. He celebrated the victory with
his wife, Kelley and their son, Kepa.
"We want to congratulate Jon Rahm
on his remarkable win at the U.S. Open," said Callaway President & CEO, Chip Brewer. "He showed such incredible poise
and determination down the stretch, and it was so thrilling for all
of us to watch him clinch this championship in such a dramatic
finish. And to do it at Torrey
Pines in our Company's hometown of San Diego, a city that means so much to him,
makes it even more special. We're proud of his performance, and we
look forward to many more great moments with Jon in the
future."
