SANTA ANA, CA – September 29, 2009 – GolfGym and Coach Joey D congratulate Tom Pernice Jr. on his SAS Championship win in his Champions Tour debut. Pernice, a two-time winner on the PGA TOUR, works with Coach Joey Diovisalvi, one of the elite biomechanics, strength and conditioning coaches on the PGA Tour, and uses GolfGym training products in the fitness trailers as part of his golf fitness program.
“Tom has worked with Coach Joey D for several years and his hard work has paid off big in his debut on the Champions Tour,” said Ken Pierce, President of GolfGym. “He came into this event with a lot of confidence and was able stroke his final putt with that same confidence. We’re hoping to see him continue to play well in upcoming events on both the PGA and Champions Tours.”
Pernice became the 15th player to win in his Champions Tour debut, dropping a 30-foot birdie putt on the final hole Sunday for a one-stroke victory. He shot a final day 3-under 69 to finish at 13-under 203 on the Prestonwood Country Club course.
“I am thrilled to see Tom win this event,” said Coach Joey D. “He’s been very consistent with his training both on the course and in the fitness trailer and it’s great to see him win during his debut on the Champions Tour. I attended his 50th birthday party just a couple weeks ago. What a great birthday present he got for himself.”
