Continues Success of Players Competing in Brand’s Luxury Performance Apparel System
(Markham, Ontario) – Trend-setting designer Ralph Dunning announces that staff player Kyle Thompson wore a complete playing system from Dunning Golf luxury performance apparel while capturing the Nationwide Tour’s Rex Hospital Open in Raleigh, NC.
The win, Thompson’s first on the Nationwide Tour, marks the fourth time this season that a Dunning Golf staff player has captured an event on a major North American professional tour, including Zach Johnson’s victories at the Masters and AT&T Classic.
