Bridgestone Tour team member Jennifer Johnson treated golf fans to a record-setting performance this week at the 2013 Mobile Bay LPGA Classic, using weekend rounds of 65-65 to post a tournament best 21-under par total and record her first career LPGA victory.

Johnson's maiden victory came in thrilling fashion, birdieing 4 of the last 6 holes for a one-shot victory. With the win, Johnson earned $180,000 and vaulted into 14th place on the 2013 LPGA Official Money List.

In her victory, Johnson relied on Bridgestone's TOUR B330-RX golf ball and J40 clubs. Below is an official rundown of what was in her bag.
