BLACK GOLD CAPTURES CROWNE PLAZA INVITATIONAL AT COLONIAL

Memphis, TN…And the plaid jacket goes to…Black Gold!  The winner of the Crowne Plaza Invitational put himself into position finishing his third round Sunday morning with a 62, one stroke off the course record.  He followed that later Sunday afternoon with a birdie on the first playoff hole, the first three-man playoff ever at Colonial, for his fourth career victory on the PGA Tour.

Black Gold features proprietary Frequency Tuned™ technology incorporating True Temper’s "Gold Standard" manufacturing process.  Each critical shaft parameter is held to exacting tolerances resulting in the first shaft ever to combine pinpoint frequency specification with precise weight tolerances and balance for superior repeatability and consistency.

“This is a great win with a premium iron shaft that really showcases the depth of the True Temper brand on the pro tours,” says Bob Montgomery, Tour Manager for True Temper Sports.  “The shaft continues to gain momentum each and every week.”
