(MONTREAL) – Fila Golf – a men’s and women’s apparel line internationally recognized for its authentic sports heritage and exclusively licensed in North America by Fersten Worldwide – congratulates Stacy Lewis on her runner-up finish at the Ladies European Tour’s ANZ RACV Ladies Masters, contested last week at Royal Pines Resort in Queensland, Australia.
Competing in Fila Golf’s latest chic performance pieces, such as the Lisbon Polo and Rimini Skort, Lewis remained cool and comfortable as she nabbed the second-round lead. Despite firing 67-69 over the weekend, the 25-year-old American was unable to fend off winner Yani Tseng and finished tied for second alongside Australian Nikki Campbell.
“I made about a 10-footer on the last hole Friday so that was huge going into the weekend,” said Lewis. “I knew coming in what the course was like. The key is sinking putts and I did that. Got to keep my thoughts, I think that’s the key.”
Based on her performance, the four-time University of Arkansas All-American moved up to No. 29 on the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings.
“Stacy’s season is off to an amazing start, and she’s really well positioned for continued success on the LPGA Tour in 2011,” says Nancy Robitaille, Fila Golf principal designer. “Despite the hot and windy conditions in Australia, it was great to see that Stacy was comfortable and playing her best wearing our new collection.”
One of the world’s best young Americans, Lewis embraces Fila Golf’s century-long tradition of outfitting world-class competitors. The company’s 2011 collection is specifically designed to enhance athleticism without hindering the body’s natural motion. Crafted from Fila Golf’s premium, 100-percent cotton and eco-friendly recycled polyester, many pieces boast wrinkle-resistant, moisture wicking, quick-drying and antimicrobial properties.
In stock year-round for immediate order and program fulfillment, Fila Golf’s complete line of apparel retails from $20 for accessories to $140 for outerwear and is worn in competition by scores of professionals worldwide. The brand, which has an exceptional history of innovative design, marks its 100th anniversary this year.
