Srixon’s Brian Davis Collects a Top 10 at EDS Byron Nelson Championship
ATLANTA – May 15, 2006 Srixon Staff Professional Karrie Webb won her second tournament of the season to go along with her major trophy at the Michelob Ultra Open at Kingsmill Resort in Williamsburg, VA on Sunday, May 14, 2006. Webb’s dominating play earned her the 7-shot victory, which was also the LPGA Tour’s largest margin of victory thus far in 2006 with rounds of 66-68-66-70 for a 14-under par, 270 total. Webb carded just one bogey in 32 holes, a number she was able to keep low with the aid of the Srixon W-506 Driver, Srixon Z-UR prototype golf ball, Srixon forged irons. Webb is the only 2-time winner this season and now stands atop the ADT Official Money List.
After an uncharacteristically winless 2005, the resurgent Hall of Famer, armed with Srixon’s newest driver and golf ball, has dominated play in her last five consecutive tournaments. Webb began the streak with a win at the LPGA’s first major of the season, the Kraft Nabisco Championship, followed it up with consecutive 2nd place ties, a 10th place tie and yesterday’s victory at Kingsmill. This is Webb’s 32nd career victory. In November of 2005, Webb was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.
On the PGA TOUR, Srixon Staff Professional Brian Davis played with Srixon’s I-506 irons and Srixon Z-UR prototype golf ball and came in tied for 8th place at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship on Sunday with a 7-under par, 273 total (70-68-70-65). This is Davis’ second Top 10 of the season.
Davis’ tie for 8th marks Srixon’s 18th top 10 finish on the PGA TOUR this season.
