Fantastic Father’s Day Finish for CHAMP
Marlborough, MA-June 18th, 2007-CHAMP Spikes, the number one spike brand on tour, continued its tour dominance this weekend capturing The U.S. Open at Oakmont. The winner, along with the next top three finishers chose spikes made by CHAMP.
In 2007 CHAMP Spikes have been used by the winners of 14 out of 25 PGA Tour events including both legs of the Grand Slam; The Masters and The U.S. Open.
At this week’s Open in Oakmont, PA CHAMP Spikes were worn by 62 out of the 156 players. The CHAMP Stingerâ?¢, which combines the industry’s best durability and traction with comfort, was worn by the most players, including the champion. The CHAMP Pro Stingerâ?¢ was also heavily relied on for its unique combination of traditional metal spike traction and soft plastic spike comfort.
"We are ecstatic about the Open victory," said Harris MacNeill, President of CHAMP. "Our victory here was twofold; on the leader board as well as the overall player usage statistics. The proof is in the numbers. The tour players know what the playing public is coming to know too. We make spikes to suit all types of shoes and players. No other spike manufacturer offers players the variety that we do."
