Two Top 10 finishes were earned by Volvik staff professionals this weekend on the LPGA Tour and Web.com Tour.
Volvik staff professional Pornanong Phatlum from Thailand shared the lead at the LPGA Founders Cup in the final round Sunday and ended up with a T7 finish. Her seven birdies on Sunday led her to a -17 under par finish, just two shots off the eventual winner. Volvik staff player Chella Choi finished T22 at the event. Choi currently ranks 9th on the 2014 LPGA money list and Phatlum ranks 12th.
In just five events so far on the 2014 LPGA Tour, Volvik already has two Top 5 finishes, three Top 10 finishes and six Top 25 finishes.
“Pornanong, or as we like to call her by her nickname Waen, played very well again this week and once again brought a ton of exposure to Volvik on the Golf Channel coverage,” said President of Volvik USA Don Shin. “Her Pink golf ball could easily be seen all day Sunday and it was good to see that our marketing strategy is once again paying off and letting golfers know that ultra-high performance and color are now available in the same package.”
On the Web.com Tour, Volvik staff professional Tim Petrovic finished T8 at the Panama Claro Championship using Volvik’s new White Color S3 golf ball Sunday. Petrovic shot a 71-67-68-69 to -5 under par and earned $18,125 in the process. He currently ranks 43rd on the Web.com Tour money list. Last week, Petrovic finished T14 on the PGA TOUR at the Puerto Rico Open and earned $59,500 with his Top 15 finish. Petrovic had 23 birdies for the event and increased his driving accuracy by 12.5% over his 2013 average. He bested his other 2014 PGA Tour event driving distance average by 18.8 yards in his first event playing a Volvik golf ball.
The White Color S3 ships to golf retailers in April. The white/blue hybrid ball already has two wins on the Ladies European Tour and two Top 5 finishes on the 2014 LPGA Tour. Petrovic has earned over $12 million in career earnings on the PGA TOUR and Web.com Tour including one PGA TOUR victory, 11 Top 3 finishes, 34 Top 10 finishes and 104 Top 25 finishes.
Volvik recently announced the signing of major winners Craig Stadler and Larry Nelson on the Champions Tour in addition to the 12 LPGA Tour players on Volvik’s professional staff. Stadler will play a Volvik Vista iV 4-piece golf ball at the 2014 Masters.
