HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA -December 14, 2009 – Cleveland® Golf/Srixon® congratulates Srixon® staffer Robert Allenby and Cleveland® staffer Jerry Kelly for their weekend victories at the Australian PGA and The Shark Shootout.
Allenby shot a 5-under 66 in the final round for a four-stroke victory at the Australian PGA and his second tournament win in consecutive weeks. Allenby, who won last week’s Nedbank Challenge in South Africa, earned his fourth Australian PGA title.
“When you start with the lead, all you have to do is to hold it and don’t do anything stupid,” said Allenby. “I did what I had to do, from the first hole to the last hole. I felt totally in control on every shot.”
Jerry Kelly and his teammate posted a 13-under 59 for a 26-under 190 to earn a victory at The Shark Shootout. Kelly and his teammate held off challenges from a few other teams on the final day making a par on the final hole to clinch the win. Earlier this year Kelly won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans and this victory at The Shark Shootout was his second victory in five appearances at the event.
Allenby plays a Srixon® Z-STAR® ball, uses Srixon® I-701™ Tour irons, carries Cleveland® TA 588™ wedges, a Srixon® bag and wears a Srixon® hat and glove.
Kelly carries a Cleveland® Launcher DST driver, a HiBORE® XLS hybrid, CG7™ Tour irons, TA 588™ wedges and a Cleveland® Classic putter.
