U.S. Open Win Is A ‘Fairytale' For J.J Spaun And L.A.B. Golf
J.J. Spaun's win at the U.S. Open marked the first for a player with a L.A.B. putter. (Photo by ... More) The moment couldn't have been scripted any better for J.J. Spaun -- or for the maker of his putter for that matter. In primetime on the east coast, on Father's Day, Spaun claimed his first major title by pouring in a curling 64-foot birdie putt on the final hole of the U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club, a bastion of the game best known for having some of the fearsome greens in golf. It was a dramatic conclusion to a magical week for Spaun, who earned $4.3 million after entering the tournament with just one previous PGA Tour win. 'It's definitely like a storybook, fairytale ending, kind of underdog fighting back, not giving up, never quitting," said Spaun. 'With the rain and everything and then the putt, I mean, you couldn't write a better story. I'm just so fortunate to be on the receiving end.' It also was a milestone for the maker of his putter, L.A.B. Golf. While the company, recently recognized by the National Golf Foundation as one of the top 100 businesses in the industry, has surged in popularity amid the current 'no-torque putter' movement and gained favor in the professional ranks as well as recreationally, Spaun is the first player to win a major using a L.A.B. putter. J.J. Spaun throws his putter in the air after holing the U.S. Open winning putt on the 18th green at ... More Oakmont. (Photo by) 'When you're a relatively new equipment brand and your guy comes out of nowhere to win a major with a putt like that, with millions of golfers watching on Father's Day, it's like a marketing hole-in-one for L.A.B. Golf," said sports marketing expert Bob Dorfman, the Creative Director at Pinnacle Advertising in San Francisco. 'Awareness will skyrocket, sales will soar, market share will grow dramatically. Hard to put numbers on it, but they've got the perfect ad to run with that final putt, and an inspiring endorser in J.J. Spaun.' Using L.A.B.'s DF3, Spaun finished No. 2 in the field in strokes-gained putting at Oakmont and made more than 136 feet of putts over the final seven holes on Sunday. When his final putt dropped, Spaun was the lone player to finish under par, finishing two shots ahead of Robert MacIntyre at 1-under overall. Spaun reacts after a 40-foot birdie putt on the 12th green during the final round of the 125th U.S. ... More OPEN at Oakmont Country Club. (Photo by) 'It's simply surreal," said L.A.B. Golf CEO Sam Hahn. "On the one hand, we were all always confident that someone would hoist a big trophy with a L.A.B. On the other hand, you just never know. Golf is so hard and unpredictable. Putting even more so. 'But I will say I noticed I was a lot less nervous watching than I normally am. When his approach came to rest on the 18th green, even though I knew it'd be tough, something in the air just made it seem inevitable it'd go in.' While L.A.B. was the most visible foray into the no-torque or zero-torque putter movement, other brands have also aggressively entered the space. Golf innovation, after all, can often be a game of follow-the-leader. The approach has gained traction because the so-called no-torque putters are designed to minimize the twisting of the putter head during the stroke thanks to strategic weight placement. As for what the breakthrough major win means for L.A.B. Golf and the brand's future, Hahn isn't yet sure. But he's excited to find out. 'Hopefully, we opened a few eyes to the possibilities and quieted a few critics,' Hahn said. 'We have always worked for the golfers. Our tour players have been great to us but it's the everyday golfer that keeps the lights on and that's who we will continue to prioritize."

Ford's new modified Mustang Mach-E is ready to fly up Pikes Peak
The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is a racing event that's been going on since 1916. It's a 12.42-mile run that climbs 4,720 feet and serves as a proving ground for carmakers to test the speed and agility of their new vehicles. Electric cars tend to do well in the Pikes Peak race; they don't have to deal with the problems of high altitudes and thinner air that can stymie racecars powered by fossil fuels, making it an ideal testing ground. The first electric car to win was in 2015, when Honda claimed victory with an electric CR-Z. Volkswagen's ID R set a course record in 2018, blasting up the course at over 90 mph in just under eight minutes. But for the past two years, one company has claimed the title of King of the Mountain with its wildly designed electric demonstrators: Ford. The engineers at the automaker's racing division approach the race with the zeal of a mad scientist. First there was the SuperVan 4.2, a 2,000 horsepower (not a typo) 'lightly modified' Transit van with a rear wing so enormous it looked like it could simply fly to the top of the infamous hill. Then there was the F-150 Lightning SuperTruck, a beastly version of the automaker's electric pickup that, like the SuperVan, took home the top prize — even after briefly coming to a complete stop during its run. For the past two years, one company has claimed the title of King of the Mountain with its wildly designed electric demonstrators: Ford This year, Ford is switching things up with the Super Mustang Mach-E, an EV demonstrator with specs similar to the SuperVan and SuperTruck, with some key differences. Still, the Super Mustang Mach-E will have the same challenge: get to the top of the hill faster than anyone else. And while SuperTruck was an evolution of SuperVan, the Super Mustang Mach-E is more of a 'ground-up exercise,' said Zach Burns, F1 and EV demonstration program engineer, in an interview. That includes a new suspension, a full aerodynamic redesign, carbon brakes, and other additions designed to help the demonstrator charge up the notorious hill as fast as possible. Much of that will come down to downforce, and Ford Performance has really outdone itself with this one. Perhaps you've noticed the enormous rear wing that's reminiscent of a more traditional racecar design with endplates over the curved, body-joining structure. This will help the Mustang Mach-E generate a staggering 6,900 pounds of downforce at 150 mph, surpassing even last year's SuperTruck high-downforce configuration. 'You're only going to see that kind of level [of downforce in] F1 and LMP1 [vehicles] back in the day,' Burns said. 'So it's a very high downforce vehicle.' The Super Mustang Mach-E is more of a 'ground-up exercise' Design work began last September, Burns said. By the end of October, the Ford Performance team had 'fully committed' to the design of the vehicle. And final assembly took place about a month and a half ago in Austria by STARD Advanced Research and Development, Ford's manufacturing partner in the project. The team started with a point-mass model, cycling through 'hundreds and hundreds' of iterations until they settled on the form factor that would be most competitive on the track, Burns said. 'So you're looking at wheelbase track, width, lengths, weights, power, downforce — just kind of all the different spectrums of a vehicle and to settle on the attributes you'd want to have,' he added. Crucially, the Super Mustang Mach-E is a lighter and more nimble racer than its predecessors, with more regenerative ability and a more balanced weight distribution. This will help with the 12.42-mile course's twisty ascent, Ford says. At the heart of the Super Mustang Mach-E are three STARD UHP 6-Phase motors producing over 1,400 horsepower, all fed by 50kWh of ultra-high-performance Li-polymer nickel-manganese-cobalt pouch cells. Like last year's entry, the demonstrator operates on a voltage of 799V, but this year's setup sheds critical weight — over 260 pounds — while delivering regenerative braking of 710kW. The car's carbon braking system, forged magnesium wheels, and Pirelli P-Zero tires are engineered to withstand the punishing 156 turns up to the 14,115-foot summit. At the heart of the Super Mustang Mach-E are three STARD UHP 6-Phase motors producing over 1,400 horsepower Ford is eyeing a potential hat trick (or would it be a Triple Crown?) with this year's race, which takes place June 22nd in Colorado. As with Ford's previous Pikes Peak entrants, French racing impresario Romain Dumas will pilot the Mach-E to the summit. To mark Dumas' milestone with the team, the Mustang Mach-E will carry the official race number 310 — a nod to his third entry with Ford Performance and tenth overall run up Pikes Peak. But this is not some vanity project for Ford. Key learnings from the Super Mustang Mach-E and its counterparts are 'actively influencing' the next generation of Ford EVs for production, the company says. This includes innovations in battery chemistry, thermal management, and high-performance electric drive units 'tested under extreme stress at Pikes Peak.' 'These vehicles are the upper echelon of the peak of what you can see and what we do here,' Burns said. 'I think that definitely helps validate and improve what we do on the production side.'
