SuperStroke oversized putter grips continued to have a big impact on the greens of the PGA Tours this weekend, helping three players earn Top 10 finishes on the PGA Tour and Champions Tour.
KJ Choi, SuperStroke staff player and winner of three PGA Tour events with a SuperStroke grip, placed T7th at the Northern Trust Open at the Riviera Country Club. Choi had his best finish of 2011 and shot up to 45th in the FedEx Cup standings. He earned $209,625 this week with his Fatso sized putter grip measuring 1.67 inches in diameter. Six SuperStroke putter grips were in play at the Northern Trust Open, making SuperStroke the #1 most played jumbo putter grip at the event and in every PGA Tour event of the 2010 and 2011 seasons.
Rod Spittle, the Monday qualifier who won the 2010 AT&T Championship using a SuperStroke Slim grip, finished T6th with the oversized grip at The ACE Group Classic on the Champions Tour. Spittle ranked T6th in Putts Per Round (28) and 9th in Putts Per GIR at the event. He currently ranks 6th in the Charles Schwab point standings and T3rd in overall Putts Per Round for the 2011 season.
A former major winner and 4-time Ryder Cup Team USA member placed 5th at The ACE Group Classic with a SuperStroke Slim grip. He ranked T15th in Putts Per GIR at the Naples, FL event.
