(Granbury, TX: August 4, 2011) “I would like to congratulate Anna Nordqvist on her outstanding play at the recent Ricoh Women’s British Open,” said Gary Sheppard, President and CEO of HIRZL North America. Anna’s consistent play, including breaking par all four days, enabled her to achieve a T-7 for her best finish in a major this year.
Played in typical British Open conditions, cold and wind, Anna’s HIRZL SOFFFT Flex glove helped her move up to 28 in the Rolex World Rankings. “My HIRZL gloves give me a tremendous amount of confidence when I play,” said Anna Nordqvist. “No matter what the conditions are, I know that I can always count on a secure grip, with plenty of feel. HIRZL gloves are a valuable piece of my golf equipment.”
