MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Rifle shafts delivered tour-winning consistency and accuracy on two professional tours this weekend, winning both the Arnold Palmer Bay Hill Invitational on the PGA Tour and the Chitimacha Louisiana Open on the Nationwide Tour.
Playing Rifle shafts in his irons, the champion at Bay Hill finished strong with two birdies and two clutch pars to capture his first victory of 2010, and the second of his PGA Tour career. The win moved the seven-year pro to third on the PGA TOUR Money List and gives him third-place on the PGA TOUR’s All-Around Ranking. In addition to taking home the top honors at Bay Hill, True Temper swept all Top 10 money positions and led the field with 102 sets of iron shafts in play.
On the Nationwide Tour, the 2010 champion at the Chitimacha Louisiana Open also trusted Rifle shafts and was rewarded with a victory his first time out on the Nationwide Tour this season.
“It’s not a coincidence that True Temper shaft technology continues to deliver winning results on pro tours around the world,” says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “Rifle shafts provide unparallel performance benefits in distance, accuracy and consistency, which was once again evident this weekend with the exciting one-stroke victory at Bay Hill.”
The Rifle line of shafts by True Temper are found in play every week on the pro tours. Rifle shafts, which feature a patented stepless design, are renowned for tighter shot dispersion, better control, greater distance and a smooth, yet solid, feel at impact.
