Blue takes top two spots at the Smurfit Kappa European Open
Memphis, TNâ?¦For the second year in a row, ProLaunch has claimed the coveted U.S. Senior Open Championship. The Champion, armed with ProLaunch in his driver and hybrid club, finished the tournament with an 8-under par total of 272 claiming a two-stroke victory over the hometown favorite runner-up. With the victory, the Champion became the first back-to-back U.S. Senior Open winner in nearly 20 years and the oldest ever at 57 years, 11 months and 17 days. In addition, he became just the third U.S. Senior Open winner to post four straight rounds in the 60’s.
With 29 shafts in play, ProLaunch was the number one graphite shaft of choice at Prairie Dunes. Comp NT also had an impressive showing with 10 shafts in play in addition to being found in the driver, 3-wood and 5-wood of the runner-up.
