(MONTREAL) – Fila Golf – a men’s and women’s apparel line internationally recognized for its authentic sports heritage and exclusively licensed in the US and Canada by Fersten Worldwide – confirms that sponsored LPGA player Stacy Lewis finished in third place this past weekend at the LPGA Tour’s Mizuno Classic in Shima, Japan.
Lewis, who fired a tournament-best 64 during the second round en route to her third top-10 finish of the season, remained cool and comfortable by relying on a variety of apparel from the Fila Golf collection. The 25-year-old now stands at No. 19 on the LPGA Tour money list.
“I love knowing that with Fila Golf, I’m wearing an authentic sportswear brand,” says Lewis. “That confidence allows me to focus on my game, because looking my best helps me play my best.”
Specific pieces Lewis chose for this high-profile event included Fila Golf’s luxurious Genova, Messina and Sussex polos. Embracing Fila’s rich tradition of enhancing an individual’s performance, without hindering the body’s natural movement, these tops blend premium fabrics with moisture wicking, quick drying and antimicrobial properties.
“Our aim is to provide everyone – from Tour stars to recreational players – with clothes that they will enjoy round after round,” says Nancy Robitaille, Fila Golf principal designer. “It’s an added benefit that certain pieces, like the Genova polo worn frequently by Stacy, are constructed using eco-friendly fabric manufactured from 100% recycled materials.”
In stock year-round for immediate order and program fulfillment, Fila Golf’s complete line of apparel retails from $20 for accessories to $120 for outerwear and is worn in competition by scores of professionals worldwide.
Throughout the past century, the company’s distinctive clothing has been worn in competition by many of the world’s most accomplished and admired athletes. Drawing from the rich history of innovative design that has attracted many of the world’s most legendary athletes, the Fila brand, which has an exceptional history of innovative design, will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2011.
