Tournament Winner: Fujikura
(Vista, CA – July 13, 2009) Fujikura has won the Driver shaft brand and the All Wood count (which includes the hybrid models) this past week at the United States Women’s Open.
“Having the best players in the world chose to play our shafts is quite an honor,” says Dave Schnider, President/COO of Fujikura. “We have been #1 on the LPGA Tour for a number of years, but when the USGA brings the best from around the world together for the Open and our products stand out as #1 it’s very rewarding.”
“Our success on the women’s tour is because of the wide variety of shaft offerings we have. Our ability to fit players of different swing types is really the hallmark of our company ” says Mike Sposa, Fujikura Tour Representative and former PGA Tour pro. Sposa continued, “Having the winner of the Open choose to use the Rombax 5X07 in her Driver, 3 and 4 wood was great. The added bonus was that the 2nd place finisher used our shafts in her Driver, 3 and 7 woods as well.”
Fujikura’s Tour leadership was highlighted by being the leading driver shaft brand at all the Tour majors in 2008. The brand’s dominant leadership position reinforces Fujikura’s position as the PGA Tour’s #1 Driver and Wood shaft brand for the last eight years.
Fujikura is the primary supplier to many national brand OEM’s offering both proprietary and brand product shaft designs. Fujikura products also can be custom fitted through its network of over 900 Charter Dealers. To learn more about Fujikura, visit www.fujikuragolf.com.
