Footjoy Enjoy Worldwide Dominance with Triple win Weekend

FootJoy Press Release

FootJoy, the #1 Shoe & Glove in Golf, continued its impressive win ratio on golf’s main professional tours on Sunday as three brand ambassadors recorded impressive victories on their respective tours. In the United States, Jason Dufner continued his great run of form on the PGA Tour as he captured the prestigious HP Byron Nelson Championship. On the European Tour fellow FJ loyalist, Nicolas Colsaerts strode to the biggest win of his career at the Volvo World Match Play Championship. Rounding off the weekend on the LPGA Tour, Spain’s Azahara Munoz was in imperious form as she captured the Sybase Match Play Championship.

Relying on the Xtreme Platform Stability and cutting-edge performance of FJ’s XPS-1™ golf shoe, Dufner followed up his maiden victory,  just three weeks ago, by calmly rolling-in a 25 foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole to seal the Byron Nelson title. The 35 year-old American, who was also wearing an FJ pique lisle polo-shirt from the all-new FJ Performance Apparel Collection collected the $1.17 million winner’s cheque and 500 points to vault him to the the summit of the 2012 FedExCup standings and all but securing his place on the 2012 United States Ryder Cup team. Dufner’s victory secured the third win in four weeks for XPS-1 golf, a great testament to the world’s most stable golf shoe.

Battling strong winds and a grueling schedule of matches at Finca Cortesin, Belgian bomber Colsaerts relied on the all-round excellence of FJ ICON™ and the exceptional grip, comfort and performance of the FJ StaSof glove to walk off with the title after a stunning display of golf throughout the week. A hard-fought 1- up victory in the final meant the 29 year-old walked off with the €458,333 first prize and swiftly moved into the Top 50 in the Official World Golf Rankings

Completing the hat trick of FootJoy victories, Azahara Munoz claimed her maiden LPGA tour victory at the Sybase MatchPlay Championship in New Jersey. Relying on the athletic performance and style of the FJ Sport™ with the BOA lacing system, exclusive to FootJoy in the golf industry, the 24 year-old Spaniard won all six of her matches to capture the title and the $375,000 first prize.

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