Fires low final round, earns eighth top-10 finish in 2011
(MONTREAL) – Fila Golf – the men’s and women’s apparel line recognized worldwide for its authentic sports heritage and exclusively licensed by Fersten Worldwide in North America – congratulates sponsored player Stacy Lewis on her second-place finish at the LPGA Tour’s CN Canadian Women’s Open (Mirabel, Quebec) this past weekend.
Overcoming severe wind and rain from Hurricane Irene, Lewis began Sunday with three birdies on the first four holes. Staying dry and comfortable in Fila Golf’s moisture-wicking Athena Polo, the 26-year-old Major Champion shot the day’s lowest round, a five-under-par 67, for her eighth Top-10 finish in 2011.
“I thought if I can get to double digits under par and finish Top 10, it would be a pretty good week,” said Lewis. “I really didn’t picture this round coming.”
In her second season as Fila Golf brand ambassador, Lewis relies on an array of premium, 100-percent cotton and eco-friendly recycled polyester pieces. Many boast wrinkle-resistant, moisture wicking, quick-drying and antimicrobial properties. The collection of performance-driven apparel enhances athleticism without hindering the body’s natural motion.
“It’s our goal to help elite athletes like Stacy play their best in any conditions,” says Nancy Robitaille, Principal Designer of Fila Golf. “Despite rain and wind, Stacy remained comfortable and the result was a superb round and great finish.”
In stock year-round for immediate fulfillment and custom orders, Fila Golf retails from $20 for accessories to $140 for outerwear. Celebrating its 100th anniversary, the Fila brand is worn by professional athletes worldwide and is globally recognized for its innovative design and authentic sports heritage.
