Although Ochoa isn’t one to change equipment very often during the season, some struggles off the tee had her using Ping’s new i15 driver (with a loft of 8 degrees) at the Samsung World Championship. The change seemed to agree with the top-ranked women’s player as Ochoa finished T-4—her best showing since winning the Corona Championship in late April. For the week Ochoa averaged 267.5 yards off the tee and hit 78.57 percent of the fairways, both up from her season averages of 263.1 yards and 69.7 percent accuracy.

Lorena OchoaFran Quinn captured the Albertsons Boise Open using a new putter—a Scotty Cameron by Titleist P330, a version of the company’s Squareback model with a 330-gram head. Quinn averaged 28.3 putts per round in Boise, nearly two fewer than his season’s average of 30.23.

Titleist has signed Rickie Fowler to an endorsement deal. Fowler used the company’s ball, 909D2 driver, MB irons, Vokey wedges and Scotty Cameron putter in the Nationwide event in Boise.
