FINAL LEADERBOARD

EQUIPMENT NOTES:

  • One of the most consistent ball strikers on Tour, McDonald missed just eight fairways for the week at Reynolds Lake Oconee, while her iron play – for which she ranks in the top-10 this season – saw the 28-year-old find all but 16 greens in regulation with her mostly PING equipment. The win continuing an extremely strong period for the American manufacturer, which now has wins by staff players on the PGA, European and LPGA Tours in the last two months as well as multiple successes by non-contracted players.

  • Notable among McDonald’s setup is the PING shafts installed in her hybrids and irons. Most Tour players opt for aftermarket shafts, however, in recent years PING have placed high importance on the creation of its own shafts specifically designed for each model that have seen greater take up with the world’s best players.

  • McDonald’s win continues Titleist’s dominance of the LPGA Tour since its return from a coronavirus enforced hiatus, the company’s golf balls used by the winners of all nine events.
