Dominates Both Counts To Win Second 2008 Major LPGA Tournament
(Vista, CA – June 6, 2008) Fujikura has won the Driver and Wood shaft brand count which includes hybrids at the LPGA Championship, its second 2008 major tournament championship win on the women’s tour. Its shafts were played in more drivers than its five leading competitors combined.
“Fujikura’s dominance at this second LPGA major tournament powerfully validates that these premier players trust the performance of our shafts in the most challenging competitions featuring the most talented fields,” says Dave Schnider, President and COO of Fujikura. “Our success is definitely the result of great technology and teamwork by our tour representatives and our OEM clubmaker partners.”
“This LPGA Championship win is rewarding because these brilliant players recognize the importance of precisely fitting shafts to their performance on this very demanding golf course,” says John Hovis, Fujikura PGA Tour representative. “We are thrilled that these pros continue to show their confidence in the innovative material design and technology, and superior performance of Fujikura shafts when matched with our OEM clubmakers.”
Fujikura has now won the Driver and Wood shaft brand count at Tour majors in 2008, including the Kraft Nabisco Championship, the Masters and Senior PGA Championship.
Winning these majors builds on Fujikura’s position as the PGA Tour’s #1 Driver and Wood shaft brand for the last eight years. This leadership position was highlighted by being the #1 Driver Shaft Brand at all four men’s majors in 2007 — The Masters, the U.S. Open Championship, the Open Championship and the PGA Championship.
Fujikura is the primary supplier to many national brand OEM’s offering both proprietary and brand product shaft designs. Fujikura products also can be custom fitted through its network of over 900 Charter Dealers. To learn more about Fujikura, visit www.fujikuragolf.com.
