CHICAGO, IL, August 10th, 2009: Oban is delighted to announce their 1st win on the PGA Tour during the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open. The 34-year-old Virginian winner cruised to a 3-stroke victory using an Oban Devotion 65 in combination with a TaylorMade R9 driver. In addition, he used the Oban Devotion Hybrid 85 in his Adams Hybrid. He finished tied for 4th in driving accuracy and driving distance with an average distance of 336 yards. Oban also secured the 5th, 9th, and 14th place spots, all using Oban’s Devotion shafts.
“After switching to the Oban Devotion, this week’s champion’s driving statistics have dramatically improved and as result helped him secure another spot in the winner’s circle,” said Rich Parzych, PGA Tour Representative for Oban Composites. “We are very pleased the mid-launch and low spin ball flight characteristics of the Devotion played in his driver and hybrid helped give him the confidence and performance needed to win.” Crafted utilizing high modulus materials and a proprietary design, the Oban Devotion continues to excel in driving accuracy and distance.
