Numbers Don’t Lie: How FlightScope Users Are Preparing for Riviera’s Ultimate Test

Arguably the biggest week in women’s golf has arrived, with the eyes of the golfing world shifting to the historic, sun-drenched fairways of Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California, for the 2026 U.S. Women's Open Presented by Ally.

The U.S. Women's Open is one of the five major championships in the women's game, where a victory cements a player's place in history. Riviera’s legendary layout demands total precision, elite distance control, and absolute confidence in one’s numbers.

It’s no surprise, then, that a premier contingent of players arriving in California rely on FlightScope technology to dial in their games.

Here is a look at some of the FlightScope users teeing it up at Riviera this week:

Maja Stark: The Defending Champion

• Launch Monitor: FlightScope X3C

• U.S. Women’s Open Best Finish: 2025 Champion (Erin Hills)

• Rolex World Ranking: 23

• Race to the CME Globe Ranking: 70

• Season Performance: 7/8 cuts made (Best finish of T16 at the Kroger Queen City Championship)

Sweden's Maja Stark captured the hearts of golf fans last year with a breathtaking, clinical performance at Erin Hills to secure her first major championship title. After turning professional in 2021 following a stellar amateur career at Oklahoma State University, Stark quickly became a dominant force globally, racking up six Ladies European Tour (LET) titles before claiming her breakthrough LPGA Tour victory at the 2022 ISPS Handa World Invitational. A fierce competitor, she has already represented Europe in two Solheim Cups (2023, 2024).

Returning this week as the defending champion, Stark carries the unique confidence of knowing she can outlast the best fields in the world. To prepare for the relentless test of a U.S. Open setup, Stark relies on the unmatched accuracy of the FlightScope X3C to ensure her ball-striking and carry distances are on point, allowing her to handle the immense pressure of a title defense.

Allisen Corpuz: The 2023 Champion

• Launch Monitor: FlightScope X3C

• U.S. Women’s Open Best Finish: 2023 Champion (Pebble Beach)

• Rolex World Ranking: 56

• Race to the CME Globe Ranking: 35

• Season Performance: 7/9 cuts made, 2 Top-10s (Best finish of T7 at the HSBC Women's World Championship)

Allisen Corpuz is no stranger to California major glory, having put on a masterclass at Pebble Beach to hoist this very trophy in 2023, securing a breakthrough win on the LPGA Tour in the process. A standout collegiate golfer at the University of Southern California (USC), Corpuz turned professional in 2021 and earned her LPGA Tour card through Q-School the same year. Her steady demeanor and precise iron play earned her a spot on the U.S. Solheim Cup teams in 2023 and 2024, where she proved to be a formidable match-play opponent.

Corpuz thrives when conditions get tough and precision becomes paramount. Her secret weapon on the practice range is the FlightScope X3C, using its patented Fusion Tracking Technology to perfect her launch angles and spin rates. Having already proven she has the blueprint to win a U.S. Women's Open, don’t be surprised if Corpuz is in contention again on Sunday.

Megan Khang: The Model of Consistency

• U.S. Women’s Open Best Finish: T4 (2021 at The Olympic Club)

• Rolex World Ranking: 49

• Race to the CME Globe Ranking: 81

• Season Performance: 8/9 cuts made, best finish of T12 at the Mizuho Americas Open

Megan Khang has long been one of the most reliable competitors on the LPGA Tour. Her history with this championship runs incredibly deep, having first qualified for the U.S. Women's Open as a 14-year-old amateur back in 2012. After earning her LPGA Tour card via Q-School in 2015 at just 18 years old, she has maintained her status at the highest level ever since. Khang broke through for her first LPGA Tour victory at the 2023 CPKC Women's Open and has been a heartbeat for Team USA in the Solheim Cup, making four consecutive appearances (2019, 2021, 2023, 2024).

Known for her superb iron play and consistency, Khang uses the FlightScope X3C to capture exact, uncompromised data on every swing. As she hunts for that elusive first major title, her meticulous preparation at Riviera may make her a favorite for many.
