(FORT WORTH, TX) – UST Mamiya – maker of the world’s finest carbon fiber golf shafts – reports the winner of the PGA Tour’s WGC-Bridgestone Invitational relied on its Proforce V2 shaft in hybrid (104 gram, x-flex), including multiple key shots on the final holes.
Continuing the trend of strong showings for UST Mamiya users, the champion carded a final round 65 while earning his first career WCG victory at Firestone Country Club in Akron, OH. The win adds to the company’s list of titles this season, which include six on the PGA Tour.
