MEMPHIS, Tenn. (April 7, 2014) – The winner of the 2014 Shell Houston Open trusted his incredible short game to True Temper’s Dynamic Gold for his first PGA TOUR career win and a ticket to the Masters this weekend.
The Champion holed an improbable 46-yard putt on the final hole to force a sudden-death playoff. Amazingly, he then chipped in from 42 yards on the first playoff hole for another birdie and the win. In addition to a trip to Augusta, the 33-year-old winner also moved to 16th place in the FedExCup points standings and took home a $1,152,000 check.
“The Shell Houston Open winner really pulled it out in the end with two incredible hole outs,” said Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “This may be the first time he has been a part of a down-to-the-wire win, but certainly not so for Dynamic Gold. We are proud that like many champions before him, he trusted Dynamic Gold to take him to the winner’s circle. We wish him the best of luck in Augusta this week.”
