While Brian Harman stole the headlines at the 151st Open Championship with his impressive six-shot win, shaft brand Fujikura also enjoyed a winning week after being the most used driver and wood shaft at the season’s final major.

In total, 38% of the field at Royal Liverpool used a Fujikura driver shaft, with another 35% using a Fujikura wood shaft. These figures also included the Claret Jug winner, who used the Fujikura Speeder Evolution II S in his 3-wood on his way to victory.

With this maiden PGA Tour victory, the winner in Nevada used the VENTUS Black 7-X in his driver shaft, along with the VENTUS Black 8-TX in his 3-wood shaft and VENTUS Black 10-X in his hybrid shaft. 

Fujikura completed the week with #1 spots on both the Korn Ferry Tour and LPGA Tour. At the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational on the LPGA Tour, Fujikura was the #1 driver shaft at the tournament, with over 31% of the field using a Fujikura driver shaft.
