In just her second event back since winning gold at the Rio Olympics last August Inbee Park proved she is still one to watch out for. Securing her 18th LPGA Tour title after taking a six-month break, due to a thumb injury, at the HSBC Women’s Champions. While Park assumed it would be a slow progression to get back to where she was playing before, the former world number one had no problem sealing the deal on Sunday in Singapore. Thanks, in part, to her crazy-good putting skills during the final round.

“My putting was amazing today, obviously,” Park told reporters after yesterday’s win. Adding, “Pretty much everything I looked at, it wanted to drop in. It was very consistent ball-striking all week, and obviously there is a lot of birdie opportunities out there and I was able to convert the birdies. This was one of my best putting days I was just in that zone.”
Check out the gear, including Park’s Odyssey Putter that helped her claim victory, 1-stroke ahead of Ariya Jutanugarn.

Over on the PGA Tour newly crowned World Number One Dustin Johnson proved he more than deserves the honour by winning the WGC–Mexico Championship, his first event since claiming the top spot from Jason Day. While Johnson’s four-shot lead dwindled to one during the final round, the American was able to hold his nerve to secure his fifth title in 15 starts and his fourth World Golf Championship. Becoming just the fifth player in history to win his first event since turning number one.
