MEMPHIS, Tenn. (April 28, 2014) – This past weekend’s Zurich Classic champion relied on Project X shafts to score his first PGA TOUR career victory.
Despite severe winds that proved challenging for the majority of the field, the champion kept the ball low and found the fairways with Project X in his irons. Prior to Sunday, he had a bogey free 54-hole run that was only interrupted by Sunday’s tough playing conditions. The win moves him to number 16 in the FedEx Cup standings and earned him a spot at The Players, the PGA Championship and the 2015 Masters Championship.
“Congratulations to the young Zurich Classic champion on his first PGA TOUR win,” said Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “Project X was developed and tested on the tour to perform just like it did on Sunday. When you have to contend with difficult and changing playing conditions, your equipment’s reliability and performance becomes even more crucial. That is why we see the best players in the world including 20 PGA TOUR champions in this season alone continue to trust their game to shafts by True Temper.”
The Zurich Classic winner completed the “hat trick” over the weekend as shafts by True Temper also won the WNB Classic on the Web.com Tour and the Volvo China Open on the European Tour.
