-Newly signed American climbs to top 25 in world with stellar performance at Pine Needles-
Team Galvin Green star Mina Harigae finished in second place wearing the latest Quickdry outfit in temperatures reaching 89°F at the U.S. Women’s Open at Pine Needles on Sunday and jumped 30 places to 22nd in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings.
Having signed with the leading high-performance apparel brand earlier this year, Harigae chose to wear the striking VENTIL8™ PLUS MADELENE short sleeve shirt in Red/Lipgloss Red matched with the PETRA shorts in White for her final round that took her up to 24th place in the Race to CME Globe season standings.
“Wearing Galvin Green in the warm conditions this week ensured I could compete at the very highest level,” said Mina. “I love the incredibly breathable shirts and shorts that hold their shape so well over time and knowing that they are made from sustainable fabrics offers great peace of mind,” she added.
Mina took the first-round lead with a stellar 64 and continued this fine form recording a total of 19 birdies and hitting 52 out of 56 fairways throughout the week to finish as the highest-placed American in the field. A 72-hole score of 275 saw Mina become the first female golfer to take home over $1 million dollars in prize money for finishing in second place.
Tom Romano, General Manager for Galvin Green in North America said: “We are incredibly proud of Mina’s performance on the biggest stage and are delighted to have supported her with garments offering best-in-class performance since the beginning of the year. The brand is becoming more popular with women golfers in North America and Mina’s efforts this week will only drive the brand awareness further.”
The all-over bubble-print MADELENE shirt comes with a soft anti-curl rib collar, open sleeve ends and a three button placket opening for a supremely stylish look. Extremely breathable, it’s made from fabrics that dry exceptionally fast and are soft and stretchy for greater freedom of movement. A OEKO-TEX® 100 certified garment in VENTIL8™ PLUS with UV 20+ protection, it comes in three different color options.
PETRA shorts incorporate front and back pockets, plus belt loops and a panelled zip fly for the perfect fit. Small details include metal buttons embossed with Galvin Green branding. Available in White and Navy color choices.
