Staffer Ockie Strydom’s brilliant victory at the Singapore Classic has made it six global Tour wins in nine starts for Callaway’s revolutionary new Paradym Driver.
Paradym Drivers were in play for the top three players in this latest Far Eastern event, and it was Ockie who powered through the pack on the final day to secure his second win in six starts on the DP World Tour.
The South African, using a full bag of Callaway and Odyssey products, including the new Odyssey Tri Hot 5K One Putter, shot a blemish-free final round 63 at Laguna National Golf Resort Club, including nine birdies, for a memorable victory.
Ockie, who also won the Alfred Dunhill Championship in December, commented after his latest victory: “It’s a mindset that’s changing at the moment. When you’ve been in that winning situation before, and you know you can go and do it again.”
The 38-year-old was using the Paradym Triple Diamond Driver.
It’s a compact, 450cc shape designed for better players who want to work the ball. It’s the lowest spinning and lowest launching of three Paradym models, with a neutral ball flight. A 14g back weight can be positioned in the front for lower spin and maximum workability.
A 360° Carbon Chassis promotes unprecedented weight redistribution for maximised distance. The Triaxial Carbon Crown and Forged Carbon sole is 45% lighter than a titanium chassis. The massive weight saving is then repositioned for higher MOI and increased forgiveness.
Neil Howie, President and Managing Director of Callaway EMEA, added: “We welcomed Ockie to #TeamCallaway this season and he is clearly loving his new equipment! To be a double-winner on the DP World Tour just three months into the new schedule is truly spectacular, and to see the top three players at the Singapore Classic also using Paradym Drivers underlines how even the best players in the world are embracing this revolutionary technology.”
