(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 top-five finish at the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia held at Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club this past weekend.
Competing in the latest Fila Golf fashions, the 26-year-old Major Champion shot a blistering second-round 65 to earn a share of the lead and tie tournament records for lowest 18 and nine-hole scores. Relying on sport-luxury pieces such as the Athena Polo and Calgary Bermuda Shorts, the former University of Arkansas star finished with a 9-under-par 275 total to tie for fifth.
“The golf course is a little easier this year, so you have to make birdies and keep it in the fairways,” said Lewis. “It’s nice to just get out there and shoot some good scores.”
Currently No. 10 in the Rolex Rankings, Lewis embraces Fila Golf’s performance styling that keeps her comfortable and looking great week after week. Many pieces in the 2011 collection boast wrinkle-resistant, moisture-wicking, quick-drying and antimicrobial properties designed to enhance individual athleticism without hindering the body’s natural motion.
“This performance continues the trend Stacy has established throughout a truly amazing season,” says Nancy Robitaille, Principal Designer of Fila Golf. “Her talent, focus and determination embody the spirit of the Fila Golf brand.”
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.
