Abraham Ancer won the Saudi International that took place in King Abdullah Economic City, Saudi Arabia. The LIV golfer used Callaway equipment to clinch the trophy.
He made some amazing shots in the last round with his Callaway Epic Speed Triple Diamond LS, which was fitted with a Mitsubishi Chemical Tensei CK Pro Blue 60 TX shaft.
Ancer used the TaylorMade 5-wood while for 3-wood he used the Callaway Rogue ST prototype. His irons were of Srixon ZX, while his wedges were of Miura HB-10. For the putter, the Mexican golfer used Odyssey White Hot No.5 and a Titleist ball.
Abraham Ancer finished at 19 under 261 to register a win over American golfer Cameron Young and won a trophy and $1,000,000 in prize money.
Speaking about his victory, Abraham Ancer said:
"Another very solid round. Happy with no dropped shots. That's always my goal. On a golf course like this where it's blowing pretty good, I'm really, really happy. My ball-striking has definitely been on, and I've been rolling it really nice all week."
He added:
"Yeah, extremely happy [with Saudi International win]. Not really focused on what everybody else is doing. Just trying to play the same game I've been playing the past three days. It's nice to see my name up there. Can't really focus on that. Just got to do it again.”
Cameron Young secured second place, while Lucas Herbert snatched third position. Interestingly, Young is a PGA Tour player, and following a legal battle with LIV golf, tour officials barred their players from playing in Saudi-backed tournaments.
However, they allowed Cameron Young along with Cameron Champ and Lucas Herbert to compete at the PIF Saudi International.
While Lucas and Young finished in the top three, Champ finished at T35 alongside James Pilot, Richard T. Lee, Takumi Kanaya, Bjorn Hensen, and Ian Poulter.
