Open Runner-Up Plays Shaft Models; Women’s Publinks Championship Top Driver Shaft
(Vista, CA – June 20, 2008) Fujikura made a huge impact at recent USGA tournaments with the U.S. Open Championship runner-up playing its ZCom models in his driver, three wood and hybrid in his dramatic performance. The brand also won the Driver Shaft Brand count at the U.S. Women’s Amateur Publinks Championship this week.
“We congratulate this talented and personable player on competing so courageously and affably against the world’s best player on such a demanding golf course at the U.S. Open,” says Dave Schnider, President/COO of Fujikura. “We’re excited that he was confident in our shafts’ performance in this dramatic major championship.”
“Our Fujikura team also is proud to be the premier shaft chosen by these accomplished women amateurs at the Publinks championship,” says Schnider. “It’s especially meaningful as these ‘weekend warriors’ trust the performance of Fujikura in this important grassroots tournament just like their tour colleagues did at the U.S. Open. These achievements clearly demonstrate that we are the most respected brand for players of all levels.”
Fujikura has now won the Driver and Wood shaft brand count at all the Tour majors in 2008, including the U.S. Open, LPGA Championship, Kraft Nabisco Championship, The Masters and Senior PGA Championship. The brand also was the #1 Driver shaft brand at 95% of all U.S. Tour events including the PGA, LPGA, Champions and Nationwide Tours through the first quarter of 2008 competition.
