NIPPON SHAFT WINS AUSTRALIAN WOMEN’S OPEN

CARLSBAD, Calif. (February 17, 2020) – An LPGA Hall-of-Fame member used Nippon Shaft’s N.S.PRO 950GH steel shafts in her irons and wedges to win the ISPS Handa Women’s Australian Women’s Open Sunday at Royal Adelaide Golf Club.

It was the 20th LPGA victory for the 31-year-old South Korean, who shot a 14-under par total, recording rounds of 67-69-68-74. She won by three shots and earned $195,000.

The victory moved the reigning Olympic gold medalist closer to her goal of making the South Korean Olympic team again this year when the competition is played in Japan.
