“What an incredible season our Wilson ambassador Padraig Harrington is having,” said Tim Clarke, President, Wilson Golf. “It’s hard to beat nine top-10 finishes in just 13 starts and we’re thrilled that he’s added the Ascension Charity Classic trophy to go alongside his Dick’s Sporting Goods Open and U.S. Senior Open Championship wins. We love providing Padraig with the innovative clubs that helped him claim his 35th professional win of his career.”
