Carlsbad, CA (September 18, 2006) – Cobra ambassador Ian Poulter cruised to his seventh career PGA European Tour title at the Madrid Open. The colorful Englishman, wielding a King Cobra X-Speed driver and 3-wood, and King Cobra MB irons (3-PW), finished the week at 22-under par for a decisive five-shot victory.
With the win, Poulter improved to 14th on the PGA European Tour Order of Merit and earns a spot in the final World Golf Championship event of the season, the American Express Championship, played in his native England in two weeks.
The win is the fifth for Cobra ambassadors in 2006. Poulter follows Geoff Ogilvy (WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship, U.S. Open), J.B. Holmes (FBR Open) and Jeong Jang (Wegmans LPGA) into this year’s winners’ circle.
