22-year-old Callaway staffer Yuka Saso made history earlier today, becoming the youngest player ever to win two U.S. Women’s Opens! It’s also the second major win in the past 14 days for our Paradym Ai Smoke Drivers and Chrome Golf Balls, following Xander Schauffele’s triumph at the PGA Championship. Plus, it’s another major trophy for Odyssey, the #1 Putter on Tour. Check out our top stories from Yuka’s win.

Chrome Golf Balls Earn 2nd Major Win
Our Chrome Golf Balls continue to set the new gold standard in performance, including at major championships. Yuka used a Chrome Tour X Golf Ball to navigate around the incredibly difficult Lancaster Country Club layout. This Tour ball is designed for the best players who want speed and the ultimate control. We’ve engineered Chrome Tour X to provide outstanding distance, workability, and spin so you can experience your best performance from tee-to-green.
Saso’s victory comes just two weekends after Schauffele’s final round 65 and his first major win at Valhalla. Schauffele plays a Chrome Tour that’s built for players who want the best in distance and feel. Chrome Tour is engineered for outstanding performance with exceptional speed, consistent flight, incredible spin, and greenside control. It’s clear that both designs are working for the best players in the game!
#1 Driver, Fairway Wood, and Iron In The Field
Callaway is the #1 Driver, Fairway Wood, and Irons Brand at the U.S. Women’s Open. Our #1 Driver position is led by the Paradym Ai Smoke family, as players like Saso, Andrea Lee, and Minjee Lee all have one of these models in the bag. Schauffele gamed a Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Driver as well in his major victory.
Our new Paradym Ai Smoke Drivers feature an industry-first Ai Smart Face that promotes multiple sweet spots across the entire face. This face design optimizes driver performance using swing dynamics from thousands of real golfers. These swing dynamics, or Swing Code, consist of swing speed, club delivery, and face orientation just prior to impact.
26 Ai-ONE In Play. 5 Odyssey Putters In Top 6.
Odyssey continues to be the top performing putter brand at major championships and this week we’re the #1 Putter at the U.S. Women’s Open with 64 in the field (29 more than the nearest competitor). Remarkably, 26 players in the field are using either an Ai-ONE or Ai-ONE Milled Putter, including Yuka! These putters feature our Ai-ONE inserts that create more consistent ball speeds across the face, even on off-center hits, leaving putts closer to the hole.
Ultimately, 5 players who finished T6 or better at the championship used an Odyssey model at Lancaster Country Club. Of course, Xander Schauffele used an Odyssey at the PGA Championship, and we’ve been the #1 Putter Brand at every major this year.
