Major champ records top-five finish showcasing classic, chic sportswear collection
(MONTREAL) – Fila Golf – the men’s and women’s apparel line internationally recognized for its authentic sports heritage – congratulates sponsored player Stacy Lewis on her fifth-place finish at this past weekend’s Avnet LPGA Classic in Mobile, Alabama.
Following her first major tournament win at last month’s Kraft Nabisco Championship, the 26-year-old relied on Fila Golf’s performance fabrics and athletic design en route to a final-round 69, four strokes behind the winner. Lewis ranks third on the 2011 LPGA Tour money list with three top-five finishes in six starts.
“I am in a different place with my golf game, feeling a little more confident,” says Lewis. “Fila Golf has all the pieces to keep me looking great and staying comfortable. I couldn’t imagine playing in anything else.”
In her second season as a Fila Golf ambassador, Lewis sports the brand’s premium, 100-percent cotton and eco-friendly recycled polyester pieces. Many boast wrinkle-resistant, moisture wicking, quick-drying and antimicrobial properties.
“Stacy’s ambition, athleticism and unassuming nature impeccably represent the mission of Fila Golf,” says Nancy Robitaille, Fila Golf principal designer. “We’re thrilled that Stacy is part of the Fila family of legendary athletes who choose to wear the brand’s stylish, timeless, comfortable clothes in competition.”
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 professionals around the world. The Fila brand, which has an exceptional history of innovative design, celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2011.
