(MARLBOROUGH, MA) – CHAMP/MacNeill Engineering Worldwide – The World Leader in Sport Cleat Technology® and maker of innovative CHAMP spikes, high-performance grips, golf tees and accessories – confirms its renowned spikes were used by winners of the Valero Texas Open and the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic presented by C Spire.
Capturing his fifth PGA Tour title in 18 months, the Texan relied on the ProStinger® model – featuring a unique blend of metal and plastic traction technology – at TPC San Antonio’s challenging Oaks Course. The victory puts this player on the short list of favorites heading into the year’s first major, where each of the past dozen winners have worn CHAMP spikes. On the Champions Tour, the South African utilized the popular ScorpionSTINGER™ spike – featuring spring-flex traction technology for optimum grip – to capture his 29th worldwide professional title.
