Double win weekend for Callaway as Larrazabal (again!) and Grillo land titles
Callaway celebrates a double winning weekend as Emiliano Grillo and Pablo Larrazabal seal victories on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour.
Emiliano Grillo sealed a weekend double for Callaway just hours after Pablo Larrazabal incredibly landed a second victory in the space of three events.
Grillo, 30, overcame a dramatic final-hole wobble - where his ball ended up travelling in a stream for five minutes - to make a birdie on the second extra hole in a playoff over Adam Schenk and capture his second PGA Tour title.
The Argentinian strode to a first win on the PGA Tour for seven and half years in PUMA Golf footwear.

Earlier in the day on the DP World Tour, Callaway was already toasting yet another win for Larrazabal, 40, at the KLM Open.
Larrazabal, who also won three weeks ago at the Korea Championship, has now clinched an impressive nine victories on the DP World Tour.

While Larrazabal's driving accuracy and distance averages are not the strongest this season, he has relied heavily on his Odyssey White Hot Versa Seven Putter, ranking in the top 20 for both average putts per round (28.57) and and putts per greens in regulation (1.73).
You would like to think the latest win for the Spaniard has now given him every chance of earning a debut appearance in the European Ryder Cup team later this season.
Both Grillo and Larrazabal use a Callaway Paradym Triple Diamond Driver, which features heavily in our Best Golf Drivers buyer guide for 2023.
They also both play with a Callaway Chrome Soft X golf ball, with Grillo favouring the standard model and Larrazabal using a Triple Track version.
Following their wins, Grillo vaults up to 42nd in the world while Larrazabal bumps himself up to 53rd.
