CHAMP Selected by World’s Best Golfers.
Marlborough, MA – Although this was a tournament staggered by the unpredictable weather, it was not enough to dampen the spirits of the field as they played the 109th U.S. Open Championship. CHAMP®, the company known for being the leader in innovative traction technology, had winning results this weekend proving why top golfers choose CHAMP spikes for superior traction and durability while playing in bad weather conditions and slick terrain.
This week at the 109th U.S. Open Championship, CHAMP claimed another victory on the PGA Tour and over 50% of the U.S. Open field. Along with the top spot, 14 of the top 20 wore spikes in the Stinger™ family. This win brings CHAMP one step closer to claiming its fourth consecutive “Grand Slam of Golf”.
“It is unfortunate that the weather didn’t cooperate this weekend but that does not take away from the fact that we have a new U.S. Open Champion. CHAMP congratulates him on his win and keeping his focus in a tournament where the weather made it hard to put two good rounds together.” states Harris MacNeill, President and CEO of CHAMP / MacNeill Engineering. “This is our 16th win on the PGA Tour this year and it’s almost half way through the regular season. We are proud at the 2009 results thus far and are confident that we will continue to be the #1 Brand on Tour and the spike of choice of golfers of all playing levels.”
