HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., – Srixon staffer Grace Kim is officially a major champion. The 24-year-old Australian surged to victory at The Amundi Evian Championship in dramatic fashion, capturing her first major title with a full bag of Srixon and Cleveland Golf equipment.
Entering the final stretch of regulation, Kim climbed the leaderboard with a remarkable 4-under run over her last four holes—capped by a pivotal eagle on the 18th hole, where she stuffed her approach to just a foot to force a playoff.
Displaying full confidence in her equipment, Kim delivered under pressure. After a wayward approach found the water on the first playoff hole, she relied on her Cleveland Golf RTZ Wedge to chip in for an improbable birdie. On the following hole, she used her trusted Srixon ZXi 4-Hybrid to hit a pinpoint approach, setting up a 20-foot eagle putt, which she confidently rolled in to claim the title.
“The three holes, I hit the same club – the 4-Hybrid, so I guess that will be sticking around for a while,” said Kim. “I don’t think I’ve shot as well as I have this week, ever.”
From tee to green, Kim was in total control throughout the week, trusting every shot to the precision, feel, and reliability of her clubs. She hit 80% of fairways with the Srixon ZXi Driver, while her combination of Srixon ZXi Irons and Cleveland Golf RTZ Wedges delivered consistent scoring opportunities, helping her hit over 73% of greens in regulation for the tournament.
Kim’s performance not only showcased her incredible talent and composure but her grit when things weren’t going her way. This win also marks Srixon’s second major championship win of the 2025 season, further reinforcing the brand’s presence and impact at the highest level of the game.
