(TORONTO) – Leading sportswear brand Dunning confirms that staff player Zach Johnson wore a mix of its premium-quality, vintage athletic-prep clothing en-route to capturing his seventh career PGA Tour title at the 2010 Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial.
Highlighted by clean fits and 60’s-inspired tailoring, Johnson’s final-round outfit included Dunning’s Pique Solid Polo, Stretch Performance™ Pant and Shield Tour Belt. The ultra-lightweight shirt and pants both feature proprietary technical fabrics offering permanent moisture management to ensure comfort in all conditions. Made from soft, genuine Canadian leather, the belt includes a distressed pewter buckle embossed with the iconic Dunning shield logo.
“Zach picked some classic pieces from our new collection that have a unique fit and feel built from our two-decade heritage in the performance apparel market,” says company founder Ralph Dunning. “He obviously felt great, came out gunning over the weekend and played some incredible golf.”
The 34-year-old star shot back-to-back rounds of 64 over the weekend while setting the tournament scoring record at 21-under 259. The win established him as the only player other than Phil Mickelson to have recorded a PGA Tour win each of the past four seasons.
“Records are made to be broken is the old cliché but I’m a little shocked that I did it,” said Johnson. “Going into the back nine, my mind frame was I don’t care if I win this, I don’t care if I lose it, I’m going to go out fighting and I’m going to go out aggressive.”
Available at finer clubs, resorts and retailers throughout North America, including Dunning stores and online at www.dunningsportswear.com, the line incorporates a broad range of hyper-advanced proprietary materials which provide new levels of functionality for golf, business, travel and leisure outings.
Tested and trusted by Johnson and Ironman® world champion Craig Alexander, Dunning Sportswear is offered in regular and slim fits to suit a range of body types and style needs. Its versatile garments are engineered from the yarn-up, meaning performance features are built-in and won’t wash- or wear-out after repeated use.
