MARKHAM, Ontario, Canada (June 5, 2006) – Trend-setting performance apparel designer Ralph Dunning and his company, Dunning Golf, announce that staff player Zach Johnson finished tied for second this past weekend at the Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio.
Johnson wore Dunning Golf’s FX Pique Under Panel polo to wick moisture away from his body, and the breathable Pro Stretch Half Sleeve outerwear top with Hydro Lamina technology to keep him completely dry in the humid and rainy conditions.
The second-place finish, which followed a tie for fifth a week earlier at the St. Jude Classic, earned Johnson $506,000 and moved him from 21st to 14th on the PGA Tour money list. The 30-year-old Iowa native also moved to sixth on the 2006 Ryder Cup standings.
"Zach continues to prove he belongs among the PGA Tour elite," says Ralph Dunning. "He’s a great ambassador for the brand and plays a key role in the development of all our products, which are engineered exclusively with premium technical fabrics so golfers can focus solely on their games in any conditions."
The industry’s fastest growing performance apparel brand, all Dunning Golf pieces are engineered and manufactured to suit the physical demands of the golf swing and the unique form and physiology of the wearer.
