Company’s renowned spikes worn by past 13 winners at Augusta National
(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 – announces the 2015 Masters champion relied on its renowned spikes and new SLIM-Lok fastening system to record the lowest score in the history of the event.
Arguably one of the greatest performances of all time at Augusta National, the 21-year-old champion wore the new Zarma Tour® spike, coupled with the revolutionary SLIM-Lok fastening system, in his Drive One Golf Shoe from Under Armour®. The fifth professional victory of his young career, this win propelled the talented Texan to second in the Official World Golf Ranking. With SLIM-Lok, shoe manufacturers are able to create significantly lighter, stronger and lower-profile designs, allowing golfers to get closer to the turf for improved stability, feel and balance throughout the swing.

All SLIM-Lok equipped spikes are compatible with the millions of TRI-Lok® and Fast Twist® already in the marketplace. This system also greatly simplifies the spike changing process while virtually eliminating the risk of spike loss during rounds.
