(MONTREAL) – Fila Golf – a men’s and women’s apparel line internationally recognized for its authentic sports heritage and exclusively licensed by Fersten Worldwide in North America – congratulates sponsored player Stacy Lewis on her fifth top-10 finish of 2011 at this past weekend’s Wegmans LPGA Championship held at Locust Hill Country Club in Pittsford, New York.
Competing against a star-studded field, the 26-year-old finished tied for sixth wearing a variety of pieces from Fila Golf’s 2011 line. These included the distinctive Rimini Skort and Calgary Bermuda Shorts, which combined to help her remain cool, confident and stylish. Coming on the heels of her victory at the year’s first major – the Kraft Nabisco Championship – Lewis’ performance bolstered her top-five position on the LPGA Tour Official Money List.
“I need to focus on playing well,” says Lewis. “Fila Golf works for me because the pieces are comfortable and easy to wear. They allow me to be athletic and feel good in what I’m wearing.”
Lewis, who is in her second season as a brand ambassador, relies on an array of Fila Golf’s premium, 100-percent cotton and eco-friendly recycled polyester pieces. Many boast wrinkle-resistant, moisture wicking, quick-drying and antimicrobial properties. The entire collection of performance-driven apparel enhances athleticism without hindering the body’s natural motion.
“Stacy’s drive and talent are among the best in the world and that’s really showing in the results she’s producing,” says Nancy Robitaille, Fila Golf principal designer. “Her approach truly embodies Fila Golf and places her squarely alongside the legendary athletes who choose to wear the brand’s stylish, timeless and comfortable clothes.”
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.
