Moves into FedExCup Points Lead with Second Win of 2009
(TORONTO) – Dunning – maker of classic, premium-quality men’s sportswear – announces that staff player Zach Johnson defended his title at the Valero Texas Open this past weekend while competing in the brand’s complete playing system on The Resort Course at La Cantera Golf Club in San Antonio, TX.
Johnson’s distinctive prep look included Dunning’s Interface Stretch Flat Front Pant, Interface Pique Solid Polo, Tour Belt and compression base layer. These pieces worked in concert to keep him dry and comfortable during an intense final round capped by a 10-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff.
“Zach is really in a groove this season and it’s great to see him adding to his incredible resume,” says company Founder Ralph Dunning. “He’s a true gentleman who’s admired at all levels of the game for the way he carries himself, as well as his clean, country club look.”
The 33-year-old Iowan began Sunday with a two-stroke lead thanks to an incredible third-round 60 that included eight birdies and equaled the course record. Johnson’s second win of 2009 after the Sony Open moves him into first place in the FedExCup standings.
“I hit quality shots the last three holes, especially, really good shots,” said Johnson. “And when you’re in contention, all you want to do is trust your numbers and trust your clubs, and I did that. I really didn’t show it on my scorecard, but my execution was really, really good, and I’m proud of that.”
Showcasing proprietary technical fabrics, classic tailoring, traditional colors and a consistently elegant hand, Dunning’s performance pieces include game-enhancing characteristics such as increased airflow, unmatched breathability, moisture wicking, odor resistance and UV protection. Engineered into the textile, these features are guaranteed not to wear- or wash-out for the life of the garment.
Dunning’s Spring 2009 collection retails from $79-$250, with compression undergarments starting at $39. The line is available online at www.dunningsportswear.com, as well as at marquee clubs and resorts throughout North America, world class merchandisers like Bloomingdale’s and Golf Town,Canada’s premier golf retailer. Sizes range from XS-2XL in tops and 30″-42″ in bottoms.

Fueled by an authentic country club heritage, Dunning sportswear is built on the premium quality, clean silhouettes and classic prep colors that gentlemen have preferred for generations.
Featuring the richest fabrics and a complete consistency of fit, Dunning garments are born from a family tradition of classic British tailoring combined with nearly two decades on the leading-edge of technical apparel design.

Offering pieces in both categories for each season’s collection, Dunning is devoted to crafting truly versatile menswear staples that are ideal for business, casual, athletic and leisure outings.
Dunning was founded by 44-year-old Toronto native and lifelong athlete Ralph Dunning. An IRONMAN competitor and marathoner, Dunning first garnered widespread acclaim in the 1990s for his Rip n’ Hammer line of premium technical clothing for triathletes and cyclists. He also drew praise for work on behalf of some of the world’s largest and most authentic sports brands.
Partnering with only the best mills and manufacturing using ISO 9001 facilities allows Dunning to provide discerning consumers with a complete quality assurance. The company also engineers its technical fabrics from the yarn up, meaning performance is built-in and won’t wash- or wear-out after repeated use.
