IRVINE, CA – NOVEMBER 16, 2009 – FOURTEEN GOLF, recognized worldwide amongst top touring golf professionals as the foremost leading wedge designer and manufacturer, announced today that an ardent FOURTEEN GOLF fan and user received the prestigious Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year award.
The highly coveted award is given to the first year rookie on the LPGA Tour who scores the highest in a point competition. Mathematically, this extremely focused player has eliminated every other rookie. She has gained 1,407 points this season. The closest player to her in second place is Michelle Wie with 764 points.
If this twenty-one year old continues her stellar play and finishes the season strong, she could join LPGA & World Golf Hall of Fame member Nancy Lopez as only the second player to receive both the Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year and the Rolex Player of the Year.
“We are not surprised this tenacious player won this honorable award. She has an uncanny ability to actually play better in stressful situations. We’re proud to have played a small part in this season’s success,” said FOURTEEN GOLF COO Marcy Kamoda.
The 2009 Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year recipient has been fitted by FOURTEEN GOLF and plays their 52, 56, and 60 degree MT-28 V4 wedges. The MT-28 V4 wedge series provides exceptional spin and ultimate short game performance. For added distance from the fairway, she uses the SF-206 in #3, #5, and #7 woods.
Her support of FOURTEEN GOLF and its equipment make for a powerful partnership. She plays on three professional tours, the LPGA, JLPGA and KLPGA which creates a global awareness for FOURTEEN GOLF.
FOURTEEN GOLF understands the importance of the short game, this significant portion of the game has created an unprecedented demand on most tours for their signature series of wedges. The company prides itself on the ten titles won this year using their short game arsenal.
“It fun to watch her grow as a player and accomplish so much so soon. We applaud her efforts and her achievements,” adds Kamoda.
FOURTEEN GOLF in Japan established itself in 1981 as a premier golf equipment design company. The highly successful venture developed exclusive designs for Titleist, Yamaha, Srixon (formerly Dunlop Japan), Wilson, PRGR, and many more. The original team was credited with developing the first hybrid iron and the highly popular “Citation” cavity iron by Power Bilt which was one of the most popular irons of the 1980s. In the year 2000, the business transitioned into branded design and manufacturing company.
The name “Fourteen” is based on the fundamental rule of golf which states that the player can carry up to 14 golf clubs in their bag. FOURTEEN GOLF strives to produce the best 14 clubs ever. FOURTEEN GOLF aims to achieve the ultimate in club characteristics which allow golfers to hit shots they didn’t think possible. These clubs bring out the strength in a player.
