KBS PLACES 1st & 2nd AT FARMERS
INSURANCE OPEN
It’s always a great week in San Diego when the PGA Tour makes its way to the West Coast for its annual tournament, the Farmers Insurance Open, held at the beautiful Torrey Pines Golf Course. After placing first and second in the tournament, KBS continues to provide winning results. The winner solidified why he is the number one player in the world after another impressive victory, marking his 10th win on the PGA Tour. He shot 21-under par, clearing the field by two shots. Since the start of the 2017-2018 season, the KBS Shafts player has had a remarkable stretch of play making 20 cuts in 21 starts, 13 Top 10’s, and adding 3 wins on top of winning the Fed-Ex Cup. This was the first win for the player in his new equipment, switching from TaylorMade to Honma after the end of last season. The player uses a full bag of KBS, using the KBS Tour C-Taper 125 S+ in his irons and the KBS HI-REV 2.0 135 X-Stiff in his wedges.
The runner up played some of his best golf, finding a groove with his putter that has given him struggles in past years. Switching to an armlock putter with a claw grip seemed to be the key to a strong week for the 13-time PGA Tour Winner. With an encouraging 19-under par on a difficult course like Torrey Pines, the KBS player looks to be heading in the right direction with his game. He plays the KBS Tour 130X in all his irons. Congratulations go out to the winner and runner up on their impressive performances! | Player Driven. Tour Proven. |
