ATLANTA, April 14, 2008 – Srixon’s Z-URC and Z-URS golf ball recorded two top-10 finishes at the Masters. Staff professional Steve Flesch had a great week, hovering all four days near the top of the leaderboard and finishing T-5h. Spain’s Miguel Angel Jimenez finished T-8th after shooting a final round 68 for the best round of the day.
Flesch uses the Srixon’s Z-URC golf ball, which is designed with the softest urethane-elastomer cover the company has ever developed and results in outstanding spin control on approach shots and around the green. Underneath the cover technology, the Z-URC features a large energetic gradient growth core that produces tremendous velocity combined with optimal launch conditions. The result is pinpoint precision and distance control for the world’s best players.
Since switching to the Srixon Z-URC golf ball in July, Flesch has won twice and recorded two top-10 finishes.
Jimenez uses the Srixon Z-URS golf ball, which also consists of the softest urethane cover the company has ever created. The ball provides soft feel on all shots from tee to green and greenside spin control on approach shots. The ball features a high trajectory 330-dimple pattern that provides a strong and penetrating trajectory in all wind conditions.
