MEMPHIS, Tenn. (April 4, 2011) – Project X once again demonstrated its reputation as the premier player’s shaft by earning another dramatic victory at the Shell Houston Open on the PGA TOUR.
Playing Project X in his irons, the champion carded an amazing 17 birdies in 31 holes and finished Sunday with a three-shot victory. The win at the Shell Houston Open moved him up to number three in the Official World Rankings and makes him a fan favorite heading into this week’s Masters Golf Tournament.
“Consistency in your irons is essential, and having a golf shaft that delivers the ultimate in performance with every shot is why professionals turn to Project X time and time again,” says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “With all eyes on Augusta this week, we expect to see shafts by True Temper leading the field in this season’s first Major.”
The Project X brand also continued its winning streak on the other side of the globe with a victory at the Morocco Open on the European Tour. The champion played Project X graphite in his driver and 3-wood.
The straight taper and short tip section of the Project X iron shafts provides maximum energy transfer with low spin rates required for penetrating iron shots. By combing this design platform with eight premium graphite materials, the Project X wood and hybrid shafts are quickly becoming known as the lowest spinning graphite shafts available. While Project X iron shafts remain a favorite among top tour players, Project X wood shafts also are gaining popularity with the biggest names in golf trusting Project X in their drivers.
