SANTA ANA, CA – April 2, 2009 – GolfGym and Coach Joey D offer congratulations to Pat Perez (T4), Jason Gore (T8) and Ryuji Imada (T17) for their great finishes at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando. All three work with Coach Joey D, one of the elite biomechanics, strength and conditioning coaches on the PGA Tour and use GolfGym training products every day as part of their golf fitness programs.
Perez shot a 69 on Sunday and was in contention down the stretch before ending with a T4 finish. His finish moved him up to seventh in FedExCup points. Gore started out hot on Thursday and finished with an overall even par 280, earning him a T8 finish. Ryuji Imada fired a second round 66 on Friday and back to back rounds of 73 on the weekend for a T17 finish.
“Pat, Jason and Ryuji started out this week strong and confident,” said Joey. “They all realize that strength, flexibility and conditioning are crucial if you’re going to be successful at this level. The physical side of this game feeds into the mental and vice versa. Put it all together and you’re going to finish well consistently, as these guys have been proving lately.”
“It is great to see Pat, Jason and Ryuji finish in the top tier at Bay Hill,” said Ken Pierce, President of GolfGym. “They are all extremely focused on their fitness and their game and it was evident that their hard work with Coach Joey D paid off this week. Bay Hill played tough and Joey D’s players were up for the challenge. We’re looking forward to more great finishes throughout the season.”
