SAN DIEGO, CA – April 2, 2008 – SKLZ, the industry leader in sports skill development products and equipment, today announced the winner of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans hit balls with the SKLZ Power Sleeve on his clubs while warming up during the event. He is the fourth straight player to notch his first win at the Zurich Classic.
The Argentinean claimed his victory after shooting a 13-under 275 total on the TPC Louisiana in only his 12th career start on the PGA TOUR. The win earned him $1,116,000 and an exemption through 2010.
“We are impressed with the champion’s ability to break through and join the ranks of other first time winners at the Zurich Classic,” said Tom Quinn, President, SKLZ. "He played well and we’re happy that he has discovered the benefits of warming-up and practicing with the Power Sleeve.”
As an integral part of the company’s line of Rick Smith Signature Series golf training aids, the SKLZ Power Sleeve is a weighted sleeve that fits on the shaft of any club in your bag and helps improve tempo, timing, distance, strength and accuracy. Some of the best professional golfers in the U.S. and Europe are now using the Power Sleeve to fine tune their swing.
This easy-to-use weighted sleeve is ideal for pre-round warm-ups as it allows you to stretch out your golf muscles and improve tempo before stepping up to the first tee. The Power Sleeve can be stored in your bag and used during practice to hit balls, build golf muscle strength and flexibility and identify and fix swing flaws. The sleeve attaches easily to your clubs and won’t scratch your shafts.
