BOULDER, Colo. (May 19, 2014) — The winner of the HP Byron Nelson Championship earned his first PGA Tour victory on Sunday with KBS in the bag. This player joined the PGA Tour in 2013 and plays the KBS TOUR 125g in his irons and wedges. The champion shot a 4-under 66 for a two-stroke victory over the second place finisher and is the 8th first-time winner this season.
“We’re thrilled that his first win on Tour happened with KBS in the bag,” said Rob Cheng, CEO of KBS Golf Shafts. “He shot an impressive round and we’re looking forward to seeing how this momentum carries him through the rest of the season.”
The 2013 Charles Schwab Cup champion also trusted the KBS TOUR shaft in his win at the Regions Tradition this weekend. This player has had the KBS TOUR in his bag since 2008 and has compiled six wins in slightly over two years on the Champions Tour. This most recent victory propels him into the top five for Charles Schwab Cup points.
“To have two players win this weekend with the KBS TOUR is phenomenal,” said Cheng. “It’s rewarding to see both a new player and veteran player have such success with the same model.”
