HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA (March 16, 2009) – Cleveland Golf/Srixon is pleased to announce that according to the latest Darrell-Survey, Srixon balls finished tied for 2nd place in tour usage at the 2009 WGC-CA Championship. This accomplishment marks the first time in Srixon’s history that their golf balls have finished in the #2 spot at a PGA Tour event.
“The new Z-STAR and Z-STAR X are phenomenal golf balls that are helping Srixon pave its way toward being recognized as the premier golf ball manufacturer”, said Greg Hopkins, President/CEO of Cleveland Golf/Srixon. “Moving into the number two position this past weekend was a great accomplishment for us, but with more and more players making the switch to Srixon, we have no plans of settling for second best.”
Srixon’s latest Z-STAR balls are currently being played by PGA TOUR professionals Vijay Singh, Jim Furyk, Steve Flesch and Boo Weekley, as well as a rapidly growing contingent of professional golfers worldwide. Tour victories for the Z-STAR ball line include Henrik Stenson’s victories at the 2008 Nedbank Golf Challenge and the 2008 Omega Mission Hills World Cup, as well as Tim Clark’s win at the 2008 Australian Open.
