True Temper Adds 18th Season Win at Quail Hollow
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - After amassing 18 PGA TOUR victories this season, high-performance shafts designed by True Temper secured yet another win at the Quail Hollow Championship. True Temper's Dynamic Gold shafts chalked up the victory and once again delivered accuracy and distance for the winner.
In what was arguably one of the strongest fields of the year, the 26-year-old champion delivered a milestone career-boosting and is now the only current American player in his 20s to have three PGA TOUR victories.
"Dynamic Gold and Project X designs continue to prove themselves with winning results," says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. "This weekend, True Temper shafts won 100 percent of the Top 10 money positions, with eight of the pros playing True Temper branded shafts in their irons and two pros playing True Temper's Rifle Project X brand. The results were a bold demonstration of the trust PGA professionals have in high-quality True Temper shafts."
This 2009 PGA Tour season, True Temper's Dynamic Gold and Rifle branded shafts have garnered wins at the Mercedes-Benz Championship, Sony Open, Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, Buick Invitational, AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, Northern Trust Open, World Golf Championships (WGC) Accenture Match Play, Mayakoba Golf Classic, The Honda Classic, Doral Invitational, Puerto Rico Open, Transitions Tampa Bay Classic, Arnold Palmer Invitational, Shell Houston Open, the Masters Tournament, Verizon Heritage and the Quail Hollow Championship.
Featuring a high-flex, tour weight design, Dynamic Gold steel shafts are often preferred by better players who want a low, penetrating ball trajectory. The Project X shaft is another True Temper brand which is highly prized on Tour for providing a dedicated constant taper rate per inch for each shaft in the set. The longer taper rate more efficiently transfers energy to the ball and the ball gets up faster and flattens out for a penetrating trajectory. Dynamic Gold shafts are available in tapered and parallel irons and parallel woods, while Project X steel shafts are available in tapered and parallel irons.
