Fujikura was once again trusted as the number one performance golf shaft at the elevated Tour event in Bay Hill, with the champion powering his way to a thrilling play-off victory at the iconic Florida venue using Fujikura and VENTUS in his driver and wood line-up.
With the 2026 Major season looming, the showdown in Bay Hill proved to be another week where Fujikura excelled above everyone else, with 41.7% of the field choosing the brand’s shafts in their driver – a sweeping 23.6% ahead of the nearest competitor – and 39.2% of the field trusting Fujikura in their wood line-up.
The winner demanded the very best in power and accuracy to counter the defences of the Florida layout, and was able to close out an impressive victory on the first extra hole after finding the fairway with a superb drive delivered under the most intense pressure.
Now a three-time winner on Tour, the 24-year-old used a VENTUS Black 7-X in his driver, a VENTUS Black 8-X in his 3-wood and VENTUS Black 10-X in his utility wood.
Pat McCoy, Director of Tour Operations at Fujikura, said: “This was an impressive victory that demonstrated why the world’s best trust Fujikura and VENTUS in the game’s biggest events.
“Our winner showed great composure when the pressure mounted in Florida to claim his third Tour victory in style. This is why golfers of all levels choose VENTUS – a shaft line designed to elevate every player’s game.
“When there is so much riding on every single shot, you need to have 100 percent confidence in your equipment, and Fujikura is proud to support another Tour victory in this event.”
