New Bedford, MA, February 20, 2007 . . . Ahead tour staff members Retief Goosen, Charles Howell III, Aaron Baddeley, Jim Furyk, and Luke Donald are off to a great start in 2007. Charles Howell III won last week’s Nissan Open, catapulting him to the top of both the 2007 money list and the new FedEx Cup standings. With this victory and two runner-up finishes already this season, Charles has shot up the Official World Rankings as well, moving from 45th to 16th.
Goosen won the Commericalbank Qatar Masters last month on the European PGA Tour and Baddeley won the FBR Open on the PGA Tour in early February. While the season may still be young, these fast starts bode well for the Ahead staff members as Baddeley (5th), Furyk (10th), and Donald (13th) are among the leaders in the FedEx Cup race.
On tour, Goosen sports the popular Ahead Authentics Apparel line which includes the recently introduced Hybridwear technical performance collection that was ranked #1 by Golfweek Magazine in the hybrid golf apparel category. Goosen (Ahead Extreme), along with Baddeley (Ahead Fit), Furyk (Ahead Extreme), Howell III (Ahead Extreme), Donald (Ahead Extreme Visor), and Sean O’Hair (Ahead Vintage Twill), also sports the fashionable Ahead headwear. Ahead’s newest addition to the tour staff, LPGA rising star Brittany Lincicome, debuted the new Kate Lord collection on the LPGA Tour last weekend in Hawaii and finished tied for 33rd.
