PLANO, TEXAS, February 6, 2007 – Adams Golf (OTCBB:ADGO) announces the signing of Heather Young, the 2005 Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic Champion. She will play Adams Golf equipment, wear the Adams Golf logo and carry the tour staff bag in 2007.
Young has competed on the LPGA Tour since 2000 and currently ranks 65th on the career earnings list with over $2.3 million. She finished 39th on the 2006 Money List.
"Not only is Heather a quality individual and class act, she is a proven winner on the LPGA Tour and has established an impressive career of consistency and contending in every tournament she enters – she made 26 of 27 cuts last year," said Chip Brewer, Adams Golf president and CEO. "Heather is a terrific addition to our growing staff of tour pros. She’s a true competitor and we know she’ll represent the Adams Golf brand with pride and professionalism on and off the course. We’re very happy she’s on our team."
A captain’s pick for the 2003 U.S. Solheim Cup, Young is familiar with honors and awards. She won two NCAA team titles as a member of the Arizona State University golf team from 1994-95. After transferring to the University of Texas, she capped a successful collegiate career becoming the NCAA individual champion, Big-12 champion and Big-12 Player of the Year in 1997.
"I’m eager to get started in 2007 with a great company like Adams Golf supporting me on tour," said Young. "As a company, they are riding a wave of momentum right now with the high-performance products they’ve created over the past couple of years, like the Idea Hybrid Irons and specifically, the Idea Pro Hybrids that so many tour pros are currently playing, including myself. I look forward to representing Adams Golf on tour and keeping that momentum going."
