Allisen Corpuz pulls away to win U.S. Women’s Open at Pebble Beach

Sunday morning, Allisen Corpuz was trailing the U.S. Women’s Open and was still winless on the LPGA Tour.

After the first hole, she wasn’t trailing anymore. By the end of the round, she wasn’t winless anymore.

Corpuz shot a final-round 69, including back-to-back birdies on 14 and 15, to pull away from a surging Charley Hull and Jiyai Shin and win the 78th U.S. Women’s Open by three strokes. Corpuz becomes the first female major champion in the long history of the iconic Pebble Beach Golf Links.

“This week has just felt like a dream come true. It’s been really awesome to be out at Pebble this week,” she said. “Every few holes I just kind of looked out and said, I’m out here at Pebble Beach. There’s not many places that are better than this. Really just tried to stay grounded and keep playing my game.”

The first women’s major at the seaside links also served as the potential final professional start for the most famous golfer from Hawaii, Michelle Wie West. So it makes sense an alumnae of the same high school like Corpuz would also author her breakthrough win the same week. She’s also the first American to win the U.S. Women’s Open since 2016.

Corpuz was the only player to shoot under par for each round of the tournament.

Corpuz, a second-year pro out of USC, didn’t come into the tournament with the hype of some of the other stars like Nelly Korda, Rose Zhang, Jin Young Ko or others, but she’d been knocking on the door for a while.

In April, she entered the final round of the Chevron Championship in a share of the lead, but four bogeys on her front nine knocked her out of contention.

This time at Pebble, she entered the final round a shot back of Nasa Hataoka. As slow as she started the final round in Texas three months ago, she started Sunday just as fast. She birdied 1 and No. 3 to flip the script on Hataoka and never looked back. She took the solo lead for good with a birdie on 10

Even as Hull, who put together one of the low rounds of the tournament with a 66, closed to within two shots as Hataoka fell back, Corpuz slammed the door shut.

She hit approaches to seven feet and then four feet on 14 and 15 and converted both looks to reach 10 under and open up a four-shot lead. She let off just a small fist pump on 15.

“My mind kind of drifted to it on and off throughout the day,” she said. “I made the birdie at 1, 3, and just kind of told myself, stay in the moment. It’s obviously not done yet. Still a lot of golf to play.

Callaway releases 'Night Mode' versions of the Paradym, Paradym Triple Diamond drivers

Callaway released the Paradym, Paradym X and Paradym Triple Diamond drivers in early January, and since that time, those clubs have been used by stars like Jon Rahm, Sam Burn, Chris Kirk and Si Woo Kim to win on the PGA Tour, and now Rose Zhang used one to win in her LPGA debut.

A key technology in the Paradym drivers is a 360-degree carbon fiber wrap that encircles the middle of the head and is made using forged pieces of carbon fiber. Callaway gave it a deep navy color, but now for golfers who love all-black clubs, Callaway is releasing Night Mode versions of the Paradym and Paradym Triple Diamond.

Like the standard versions, the Paradym and Paradym Triple Diamond Night Mode drivers feature faces that are designed using artificial intelligence (AI) to help maximize ball speed across a larger portion of the hitting area. Using triaxial carbon fiber in the crown and forged carbon fiber in the sole reduces weight by 44 percent. That allowed Callaway designers to redistribute weight in the Paradym Night mode to a 15-gram sliding weight in the back of the head that helps players create a draw or fade bias.

In the Paradym Triple Diamond Night Mode, Callaway added a weight screw behind the leading edge to pull the center of gravity position forward, which lowers spin, decreases the launch angle and increases ball speed.

The Paradym and Paradym Triple Diamond Night Mode drivers will each cost $699 and be available in 9 and 10.5-degree versions and come standard with a Project X HZRDUS Black GEN4 Night Mode shaft and Golf Pride New Decade MCC Black grip.
