#1 Brand on Tour Wins the Navistar LPGA Classic
Marlborough, MA-September 29th, 2008 -CHAMP Spikes the #1 Brand on Tour, held its ground on the leaderboard Sunday winning the Navistar LPGA Classic in Prattville, Alabama.
Wearing CHAMP’s Scorpion Stinger Spikes™, the 26 year old Mexican victor shot a final round 70 and held off her competitors in a two-hole sudden death playoff. The victory is her 7th win of the 2008 season, and 24th of her career.
CHAMP Spikes was also dominant on both the PGA and EUPGA. At the PGA Tour Championship in Atlanta, GA, seven of the top ten finishers could be seen wearing CHAMP’s Scorpion Stinger™ Spikes, CHAMP’s traditional metal Cermec® Spikes, or the ProStinger™, which is the industry’s only hybrid spike. At the weekend’s EUPGA event, The Quinn Insurance British Masters, 67% of the field chose CHAMP for their traction needs.
“Our record for dramatic finishes on Sunday continues to grow,” said Harris MacNeill, President of MacNeill Engineering/CHAMP Spikes. “As a global company it is very rewarding to know that our spikes are the choice of the World’s best athletes when it comes down to the final Sunday.”
