POWAY, Calif. – Using Aldila’s Pink NVS shafts in her driver and 3-wood, Paula Creamer went wire-to-wire finishing at 20-under-par to win the Mitchell Company LPGA Tournament of Champions at RTJ Magnolia Grove, The Crossings in Mobile, Ala. by eight strokes.
Creamer, who joined Aldila’s Advisory Staff in 2005, captured her fourth career title by recording an LPGA season-best 62 straight holes without a bogey besting the 53-hole mark set by Lorena Ochoa at the Safeway International. She finished with a 67-65-68-68=268.
"I was a little nervous going in (to Sunday) with a six shot lead, but still, a lot can happen out on the golf course," said Creamer. "I gave myself a lot of chances. I stayed really confident with myself, and I believed I could do it."
Creamer heads into the ADT Championships next week playing some of her best golf of the year.
"I have played well the last couple of tournaments, the last month or so," she said. "Ever since (the) Solheim Cup I really started coming around. It just seems like somebody has always been playing better than me. I feel really confident and I would love to take this momentum into next week with one left."
Initially, Aldila made the one-of-a-kind pink shaft for Creamer because of her love for the color pink.
"After Paula experienced multiple wins using the Pink NVTM shaft, we were swamped with requests for the shaft so we decided to offer them on a limited basis," said Stewart Bahl, Aldila’s Marketing Manager. "The number of requests for pink shafts led Aldila to offer the shaft in every weight and flex combination of both the NV and NVS woods," he said.
The distinguishing Pink finish covers the unique Micro Laminate Technologyâ?¢ of the NV and NVS that provides the golfer with enhanced power, consistent flex and precise feel. Aldila now offers both the NV and NVS Pink shaft models, ranging in weight from 45 to 85 grams, in L through X flex. A portion of the proceeds from the Pink shafts sold through distribution and those sold through Aldila’s OEM partners is donated to charities.
