PRO MODUS3 Wedge 115 shafts in her wedges to shoot rounds of 67-73-66-65-271 (17-under par) at the HSBC Women’s Championship to secure a one-shot come-from-behind victory at Singapore’s Sentosa Golf Club (Tanjong Course).
It was the 127th global professional victory for the MODUS” series of the Nippon Shaft brand since they were introduced to tour players in July 2009. The champion, who began using Nippon Shaft steel shafts since 2016, earned $225,000.
