Footjoy Kicks Off 2012 With A Bang As Oosthuizen Triumphs In South Africa

FootJoy, the number 1 Shoe and Glove in Golf, kick started the 2012 Race to Dubai season in impressive fashion on Sunday as Brand Ambassador, Louis Oosthuizen held off a strong field at The Africa Open to successfully defend the title he won 12 months earlier. The 29-year-old former Open Champion from Mossel Bay was in perilous form as he produced a stunning final-round 67 in front of his home galleries to claim a two-shot victory.

Trusting in the ultimate shoe in golf, the FJ ICON and the superior grip quality of the FJ SciFlex Glove, crowd favourite Ooosthuizen was in firm form all week and his 72-hole total of 27 under par was just enough to see off joint overnight leader and fellow FJ loyalist Tjaart Van Der Walt, who was also sporting FJ ICON golf shoes as well as an FJ StaSof Glove. The victory instantly propels the popular South African to the top of The Race to Dubai Rankings.

“Congratulations must first go to Louis for a superb performance in overcoming a high-class field at The Africa Open to successfully defend his title. It is extremely gratifying to see our FJ tour players making such a promising start to the season and continuing the winning ways of 2011. With the impending launch of our new Footwear, Glove and Performance Apparel Collections alongside our continued tour success, 2012 looks set to be another memorable year for FootJoy” commented Russell Lawes, European Marketing Manager, FootJoy.

Whether it is the all-round excellence of the FJ ICON™, the reliability and consistent performance of the new DryJoys Tour™, or the comfort of the FJ Sport, FootJoy remains the overwhelming favourite for golfers of all abilities around the world.
