CALLAWAY STAFF PROFESSIONAL RACHEL HETHERINGTON WINS HER SECOND CONSECUTIVE LPGA TOUR EVENT

Callaway Golf staff professional Rachel Hetherington continued her rapid ascent through the LPGA tour ranks with her one-stroke win at the rain-shortened City of Hope Myrtle Beach Classic this past weekend - her second straight tour victory. In a matter of just two weeks, Hetherington, 27, has rocketed from 50th place to 6th place on the LPGA tour money list.

Hetherington began her hot streak with a playoff win at the Chick-fil-a Charity Championship, where she put a new se of Big Bertha X-12 Irons in her bag. She continued her crisp play at the City of Hope Myrtle Beach Classic, which was shorted to 36 holes by rain. Hetherington carried her 12 Callaway clubs and and Odyssey putter in her Callaway bag en route to claiming the £101,250 first prize and her third career win.

"These past two weeks have been outstanding," said Hetherington, who also used a Callaway titanium driver, Big Bertha Steelhead 3-wood, 5-wood, 7-wood and 9-wood, Big Bertha X-12 Irons and an Odyssey TriForce 2 putter. "I got a new set of Big Bertha irons and my confidence has been great. Its been good fun to play this well."

Callaway Golf's drivers, fairway woods and irons were the most played clubs at the City of Hope Myrtle Beach Classic, according to the Darrell Survey. The Callaway brand accounted for 49.3 percent of the drivers in play, 75.7 percent of the fairway woods in play and 49.3 percent of irons in play.
