Malbon Signs ANWA Star Aphrodite Deng

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Sorry Jason Day, but you just got mogged by a 17-year-old girl who looks way cooler in the new "Birds of Georgia" Collection.

Aphrodite Deng made waves this week at the Augusta National Women's Amateur, throwing fits and throwing darts. The 16-year-old was one of the youngest in the championship's field, finishing T-19, after rounds of 72-69-73.

Deng is the latest ambassador to join the incredibly stacked team at Malbon, with the brand writing after the ANWA final round, "Welcome to the family, Aphrodite Deng. A new muse enters the fairway—composed, precise, and entirely her own. Aphrodite represents the next generation of the game. The future’s in rhythm."

And like...hell yeah, Malbon. Between them and Fore All, there weren't two more visible brands at this year's tournament.

Deng looked beyond cool all week long, but her final round look was the cherry on top. Though our guy Raymond Williams broke down the inspiration of the birding-inspired collection, I wasn't totally sold on the look. But all I needed was to see it in action, and I can honestly say that I dig it so hard.

It's like so perfectly teenage chic. It's fun and whimsy, but not over the top. She allows for the skort to be the statement piece, while rooted it with a dark neutral.

But what I really love is that Malbon is dipping deeper into the women's space, not just on the LPGA but now at the amateur level, on its biggest stage. Deng turned the fairway into her runway, effortlessly.
