MAJA STARK TRUSTS PRO V1 TO U.S. WOMEN’S OPEN TITLE

Calm and consistent under major pressure,  Maja Stark (Pro V1) claimed her first career major championship title Sunday over a demanding U.S. Women’s Open setup. The 25-year-old Swede entered the final round at Erin Hills with a one-shot lead before carding an even par round of 72 to finish 7 under and win by two.

Stark was in full control of her ballstriking, gaining +6.72 shots on the field with her approach play (4th) over the 72 holes. She hit 54 of 72 greens in regulation (75%/T8) and converted 16 birdies (T3).

Stark was one of 102 players who teed up a Titleist golf ball this week in Wisconsin, six times the nearest competitor (17).

U.S. OPEN CHAMPION WINS IN FIRST WEEK WITH VOKEY LOB WEDGE 

The winner of the 2025 U.S. Women’s Open added a  Vokey Design SM10 WedgeWorks 58L lob wedge to her bag at the start of the week before taking home her first career major title on Sunday. She gained +1.56 strokes on the field around the greens (20th) and got up-and-down from the sand on three of four attempts (75%/T3).

Vokey Design was the most played wedge among competitors at the U.S. Women’s Open with 169 gap, sand and lob wedges in play.

PGA TOUR | The Memorial Tournament

Gaining over 15 strokes from tee to green this week at Muirfield Village, the World No. 1 closed out his 16th PGA TOUR victory Sunday at The Memorial gaming his  Titleist Pro V1 golf ball  and three  Vokey Design wedges.

The Memorial champion – who has used a Pro V1 golf ball and Vokey gap, sand and wedges to win each of his 16 PGA TOUR titles, including two Masters and a PGA Championship – posted rounds of 70-70-68-70 to finish at 10 under and win by four shots.

Eight of the top 11 finishers played a Titleist golf ball. 

In complete control of his Pro V1, the champ ran away from the field with +15.540 strokes gained tee to green, with over 11.5 of them coming on approach shots (+7.263/2nd) and (+4.343/3rd) around the green. He also led the field in Scrambling (78.26%).

He leads the PGA TOUR this season in SG: Total, SG: Tee to green and SG: Approach.

THREE WINS IN FOUR STARTS WITH SM10 60.06K LOB WEDGE 

In addition to his Pro V1 golf ball, The Memorial champion brought three Vokey Design wedges to the winner’s circle:  Vokey Design SM8 50.12F, 56.14F and SM10 60.06K.

All 16 of his PGA TOUR wins and three majors have come with a similar three-Vokey setup. 

The latest addition to the World No. 1’s short game setup is the SM10 60.06K lob wedge he put in play recently at the CJ CUP. He has now won three of his first four events with the new lob wedge, which features the same Low Bounce K Grind with which he used to win the 2022 Masters.

He moved from the K Grind to a T Grind in late 2022, using the T to win nine times including his second Masters title in 2024.

The SM10 60.06K Grind that’s now in the bag features a wider sole that excels from the bunkers but still delivers the greenside versatility of a low bounce wedge. 

“The 6-degree K Grind lives in the bags of some of the world’s best,” said Vokey Tour Representative  Aaron Dill. “It has always been known as the ultimate bunker club. However, when you ask players on tour why they play the .06K Grind, they will tell you not only do they love the performance in the bunkers, but they love the way the leading edge hugs the ground when pitching and chipping.”

This week, he led the field in Scrambling (78.26%) while ranking third (+4.343/3rd) in SG: Around the Green.  

DP WORLD TOUR | Austrian Open 

Titleist Brand Ambassador  Nicolai von Dellingshausen  earned a breakthrough win on the DP World Tour, carding four rounds of 66 of lower (65-66-65-65) to post 19 under and win by two in Austria.

Von Dellingshausen’s all-Titleist setup included his  NEW 2025 Pro V1x golf ball, GT3 driver, blended set of T150  and  T100 irons, Vokey SM10 wedges  and  Scotty Cameron Phantom putter.

The 32-year-old German remained steady with the lead down the stretch, going bogey-free over his final 12 holes. He only dropped four shots all week, which were offset by two eagles.

Key to von Dellingshausen’s victory was his play with his  Scotty Cameron Phantom 9.5 tour prototype putter, which helped him to lead the field in Strokes Gained: Putting (+12.92).

VON DELLINGSHAUSEN ON WHY HE PLAYS PRO V1x

“I currently play with the Pro V1x in the high numbers, between 5-8 as it always reminds me of shooting under par, so I love it. For me it is the most important piece of equipment in my golf bag which is why I have been playing the X as it provides me the best feedback for what I am looking for in my game. It has the perfect spin profile whilst keeping that feel and flight I am used to.”
