U.S. OPEN WINNER BAGS SECOND MAJOR WITH TRUE TEMPER DYNAMIC GOLD

Bethesda, MD - June 17, 1997 - Last Sunday’s U.S. Open Champion survived a classic “major championship” finish to record his second career major championship victory. True Temper’s Dynamic Gold shafts were in the winner’s bag for both of his major titles. As Sunday’s pressure packed finish developed, of the four players in contention for the title, three of them relied on Dynamic Gold steel shafts from True Temper. The final results of the tournament reflected that six of the top eight finishers choose to play True Temper golf shafts.
