THE NEW MAJOR BAGS ARE HERE!

Callaway Golf has announced a student from St. Andrews, has designed the golf bags that will be used by 34 Callaway staff players who are playing in the 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews.

The championship begins on Thursday and concludes on Sunday.

Students from two schools submitted entries for judging.

Staff players that took part in the judging included Danny Willett a past Dunhill Cup winner at St. Andrews, and former Masters Champion. Another staff player was Min Woo Lee.

17 year-old Iona Turner had her design chosen by Callaway. “It will be surreal seeing my bag alongside some of the world’s best golfers,” said Turner.
