Callaway staffer Ruoning Yin wins the Maybank Championship

22-year-old Callaway staffer Ruoning “Ronnie” Yin is already a prolific champion on the LPGA Tour. Ronnie posted a final round 65 to win the Maybank Championship in a thrilling showdown with fellow Callaway staffer Jeeno Thitikul.

This is Yin’s 2nd win in the past 3 weeks, her 3rd win in 2024, and her 5th LPGA win to date, highlighted by her major victory at last year’s KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. Check out what’s in her winning bag, including an Ai Smoke Driver, Chrome Tour Ball, and an Ai-ONE Jailbird model that’s dominating on Tour.

Yin hit over 80% of fairways for the week on the way to her 3rd victory of the year. The Ai Smoke Drivers were the #1 Driver at the event and they’re the #1 Driver on the LPGA Tour this year. Ai Smoke also continues to be the #1 selling driver in the U.S. this year, per Golf Datatech, led by the performance from the Ai Smart Face.

It’s also another win for the Chrome Tour family that’s earned 3 major wins in 2024. Chrome Tour has been an incredible success on Tour and in the market, where it has helped Callaway achieve its highest golf ball shares ever in the Tour Ball category. Her golf ball is engineered for outstanding performance with exceptional speed, consistent flight, spin, and greenside control.

Ronnie plays an Odyssey Ai-ONE Jailbird Mini CH Putter, and she was one of the first players to put in an Ai-ONE when the innovative putter family originally launched last November. The design features our Ai-ONE Urethane Insert that promotes more consistent ball speeds across the face, even on off-centre hits combined with a centre shaft. The Jailbird shape is still one of the most popular options across the major worldwide Tours, and Odyssey is the #1 Putter Brand on every worldwide Tour, with the most wins by far in 2024.
