DOUBLE WIN WEEK FOR FJ
FootJoy, the #1 Shoe and Glove in Golf, can celebrate continued success in 2011 as FJ ambassadors claim victory on both the European and PGA Tours. Lee Westwood began the successful weekend by clinching the Ballantine’s Championship at Blackstone GC in the Korean Republic. World Number one Westwood fired a bogey free 67 on the final day saw the Englishman finish on 12 under par, one shot clear of his nearest competitor. Meanwhile Bubba Watson was claiming his second win of the 2011 season, his third overall in a thrilling playoff against fellow FJ ambassador Webb Simpson. The big hitting Ryder Cup star birdied the second playoff hole at TPC Louisiana in New Orleans following a stunning shot from the fairway bunker into the closing par 5. The win takes Watson to top of the FedEx Cup rankings and into the top 10 of the official golf world rankings. Westwood remains on top of the world rankings and moves to 6th in the Race to Dubai rankings.
Westwood didn’t put a foot wrong in Korea relying on the performance of the FJ DryJoys Tour™. His faith in the unrivalled grip and performance of the FJ SciFlex also saw the Englishman remain faultless on the final day’s play. Watson stepped up in the playoff relying on the all round excellence of the FJ ICON and the performance and style of the FJ SPIDR2TM glove.
Whether it is the all round excellence of the all new FJ ICON, the reliability and consistent performance of DryJoys Tour™, or the comfort of the FJ Sport, FootJoy remains the overwhelming favourite for golfers of all abilities around the world.
