Lydia Ko (Pro V1x Left Dash)

Lydia Ko, playing a Titleist Pro V1x Left Dash golf ball, posted a pair of weekend 65’s to win by seven shots.

  • Her 28-under victory total (67-63-65-65) was the third-lowest score to par for a 72-hole tournament in LPGA history.
  • Ko made 29 birdies and just one bogey over the four days, the lone bogey coming on the 11th hole in Round 1.
  • She has made only one bogey over her last 100 holes on the LPGA, which includes her final-round 10-under 62 at the ANA Championship, the lowest final round in LPGA history.
  • She is a combined 38 under for her last 90 holes, having hit 86.7% of Greens in Regulation and made birdie or better on 42.2 percent of holes played during that stretch.
  • Titleist golf ball players have now won five of the first six events to start the LPGA season.

WHY LYDIA KO PLAYS PRO V1x LEFT DASH

Ko made the switch to Pro V1x Left Dash at the beginning of 2020 following some offseason testing.

  • According to Jeff Beyers, Tour Consultant for Titleist Golf Ball R&D, Ko was looking for high launch with lower spin and quickly found Pro V1x Left Dash to be a perfect fit. 
  • “Lydia loved the launch and flight she was seeing with Pro V1x Left Dash, and the distance she was getting off the driver,” Beyers said. “She found the spin to be optimal throughout the bag – she’s always been able to hit different shots with her wedges and control spin or add it when she needs to – and made the decision pretty quickly that this was her new golf ball.”
