(Markham, Ontario) – Leading menswear designer Ralph Dunning announces that Zach Johnson wore his brand’s complete apparel system while capturing the Valero Texas Open this past weekend at LaCantera Golf Club in San Antonio.
Johnson relied on Dunning’s Interface Pique™ Spencer Polo, Stretch Performance™ Pant and Tour Belt to wick moisture, keeping him cool and dry in temperatures pushing 90 degrees. He closed with sterling rounds of 62-64 over the weekend to finish two strokes clear of runners-up Charlie Wii, Mark Wilson and Tim Wilkinson.
“Zach continues to affirm his position among the world’s elite players,” says Dunning. “He enjoys the benefits of our proprietary fabric technologies combined with distinctive country club prep styling that help him feel, look and play his best in a broad range of conditions.”
The Dunning Golf Collection showcases classic tailoring, subtle colors and a consistently elegant hand. Game-enhancing characteristics – such as increased airflow, unmatched breathability, moisture wicking, odor resistance and UV protection – are engineered into the performance textile, guaranteeing they will not wear- or wash-out for the life of the clothing.
“We play to be in contention – we play to be in those certain situations and when you can execute the shots you need under the gun, it is big,” said Johnson.
Shipping in November 2008, the Spring 2009 Dunning Golf Collection will retail from $79-$250 with compression undergarments starting at $39. Sizes range from XS-2XL in tops and 30″-42″ in bottoms.
