22-year-old Callaway staffer Ruoning "Ronnie" Yin is already a prolific champion on the LPGA Tour. Yin posted a final round 7-under 65 to win the Maybank Championship by one shot over with fellow Callaway staffer Jeeno Thitikul.
This is Yin's second win in the past three weeks, her third win in 2024, and her fifth 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.
Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond Driver (8.5°) - Ventus Blue TR 6 S Shaft
Paradym Ai Smoke MAX Fairway Woods (15°) - Ventus Blue TR 6 S Shaft
Paradym Ai Smoke MAX Fairway Wood (19°) - Ventus Blue TD 7 S Shaft
Apex UT (4-iron) - Nippon NS Pro 950 S Shaft
Apex Pro (5-iron) - Nippon NS Pro 950 S Shaft
X-Forged Irons (6-PW) - Nippon NS Pro 950 S Shafts
Opus Raw Wedges (50°, 54°, 58°) - Tour Issue DG S200 Shafts
Ai-ONE Jailbird Mini CH Putter
A Chrome Tour Golf Ball
Yin hit over 80% of fairways for the week on the way to her third victory of the year. The Ai Smoke Drivers were the No. 1 Driver at the event, and they're the No. 1 Driver on the LPGA Tour this year. Ai Smoke also continues to be the No. 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 three 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.
Yin 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 the Ai-ONE Urethane Insert that promotes more consistent ball speeds across the face, even on off-center hits combined with a center hosel shaft.
The Jailbird shape is still one of the most popular options across the major worldwide Tours, and Odyssey is the No. 1 Putter Brand on every worldwide Tour, with the most wins by far in 2024.
