Marlborough, MA- At the close of the 140th Open Championship held at Royal St. George’s, CHAMP spikes continue to be the choice in traction technology of the majority of the field in the major championships. With all of the added excitement this tournament consistently brings, more than half of the total field and five of the top ten finishers wore CHAMP spikes.
