TPC Sawgrass, the location of the PGA Tour’s Players Championship, once again showed its teeth after an exciting tournament that finished on Monday due to torrential rain throughout the week. The best field in golf was challenged from the start, acclimating to the conditions and heavy winds on an already tough Pete Dye designed golf course. The Players Champion remained steady throughout the week, putting on a ball-striking show. He was 5th in SG: Approach during the tournament and ranks sixth overall in that same category this season. The 28-year-old Australian used the KBS TOUR 130x Custom Matte Black shafts in both his irons and wedges to seal his fifth PGA Tour victory and second of this season; The first coming at the Sentry Tournament of Champions where he made history, scoring 34-under par, the lowest score to par in a PGA Tour event. With this win, the popular Australian moves to sixth in the Official World Golf Rankings, his highest ranking as a professional.
Kim Braly, Master Shaft Engineer and Director of R&D for KBS had this to say about the newest Players champion. “It was incredible golf to watch throughout the tournament, but to watch him battle the elements and see how he created shots in the toughest conditions and display his usual magic around the greens using KBS shafts was a joy to see,” he said. “All of us at KBS congratulate him on his second victory of the season and we’re sure there’s many more to come.”
