Mizuno’s MP-20 MMC irons are built around Mizuno’s renowned Grain Flow Forged chassis, with a thick Titanium insert behind impact and soft copper undelay – designed to maintain a high level of feedback from such a forgiving iron.  The heads are produced in Hiroshima Japan – where Mizuno has been forging its irons for over 50 years.

The win completes a powerful fortnight for Mizuno in the ladies game with Erika Hara claiming the Japan Open Championship the previous week with a set of JPX921 Hot Metal irons.

Fellow Mizuno player Hannah Gregg was one of the first to congratulate Sei Young Kim.
