Nippon Shaft’s MODUS³ Series of steel shafts recorded its 248^th and 249^th victory on major world Tours this weekend at the AIG Women’s Open and the Northern Trust, the first leg of the PGA Tour playoffs.

The 34-year-old Swedish star used N.S.PRO MODUS³ Tour 105 S flex steel shafts in her wedges to shoot a 12-under par 72-hole total to win her third major women’s championship by one stroke. She recorded rounds of 71-71-65-69—276 on the classic links and earned $870,000. It was her ninth LPGA victory.

The 31-year-old Northern Trust champion used N.S.PRO MODUS³ Tour 120 TX flex steel shafts in his irons and N.S.PRO MODUS³ Wedge 125 steel shafts in his wedges to shoot 20-under par in regulation and win on the first hole of a sudden death playoff at Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City. The Salt Lake City native won $1,710,000 for the victory and moved to sixth place in the U.S. Ryder Cup standings.

“Nippon Shaft is very excited to congratulate the winners of this year’s AIG Women’s Open and the Northern Trust,” said Hiro Fukuda, sales and marketing for Nippon Shaft. “We are pleased that the champions of these two huge events had confidence in our MODUS³ Series of steel shafts to prevail against some of the toughest opponents in the world.”
