BOULDER, Colo. (June 16, 2014) — A KBS player completed the best round of his career at the US Open on Sunday when he tied for second at Pinehurst No. 2. He completed the tournament 1-under par and trusted the KBS C-TAPER 130g shafts in his irons in his 100th start on the PGA Tour. The C-TAPER was also in the bag of the 2013 US Open champion.
“To watch this player tie for second on one of the biggest stages in golf is a major accomplishment,” said Rob Cheng, CEO of KBS Golf Shafts. “This achievement is more than deserved.”
Since switching into KBS last November, this player has had three, top 10 finishes, up from one during the 2013 season. His tie for second seals him a bid for the 2015 Masters, making this his first berth to Augusta.
Two additional KBS players placed in the top 10 at the tournament; one tied for fourth and the other tied for ninth. These pros trusted the KBS WEDGE shaft and KBS TOUR shafts, respectively.
