Callaway Kick Off The Open In Style

AFGolfStore were invited to the Callaway Open Party on Monday, kick starting the 151st Open at Royal Birkdale.

Callaway kick off the Open in style with a party to remember as 6 of their staff players teamed up to take on a Good Good team captained by golf fanatic, Niall Horan. 

A mix of challenges such as knocking over the Vinyls in a stand or hitting the Vinyl gongs, paying homage to the music culture of Liverpool which also features on their latest limited edition tour bag, featured for the week.

Players on each team received a minute to knock down the Vinyls to gain points with the Callaway staff players eventually running to victory, lead by team captain, Francesco Molinari over the YouTube sensations. 

Captains, Niall and Francesco square off prior to the competition. Team Callaway consisting of Francesco Moinari and:

  • Alex Noren
  • Danny Willet
  • Rasmus Højgaard
  • Pablo Larazabel
  • Min Woo Lee 
  • Matthew Jordan

The Limited Edition tour bags pay homage to true heart of Liverpool, from the Beatles to Football!

Will Zalatoris Joins The Winners Circle! WITB

After a dramatic end to the FedEx St Jude Championship, Zalatoris can finally call himself a PGA Tour winner! 

After 72 holes, tied on -15, Will faced the Austrian, Straka, as they battled it out over 3 extra holes.

After both making errors on the 3rd playoff hole (12th par 3) which meant both players had to approach the green from the drop zone, only Will could get up and down.
