Continuing the trend of strong showings for UST Mamiya users, the champion played a Proforce V2 shaft (96 gram, x-flex) in his three-wood en route to victory at Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor, Florida. The second-place finisher utilized the Proforce AXIVCore Tour Red model in his driver (69 gram, x-flex) and three-wood (79 gram, x-flex). This win is the fourth for the company during the 2011 PGA Tour season.
