Germany's Caroline Masson Secures Maiden LPGA Title Wearing Galvin Green

By: Golfshake Editor | Tue 06 Sep 2016


Germany's Caroline Masson secured her maiden LPGA Tour victory at the weekend, with the 27-year-old Team Galvin Green player claiming the Manulife LPGA Classic title by one-shot at Whistle Bear Golf Club, Ontario, Canada.

Caroline, wearing a white MARIAH top, started the final round three shots off the pace but carded a five-under 67 to secure her second professional victory. It was her fourth round in the 60’s during the week (68 - 69 - 68 – 67), as she posted nine birdies to hold off the challenge from Suzan Pettersen and world number one Lydia Ko. 

"It's hard to believe, it really is," said Masson, who collected a $240,000 winning prize. "Obviously when I was in a good position coming into today, I was thinking if I can shoot a really good round then I might have a chance, but I was totally not expecting it," she explained. 

Caroline’s only previous professional victory came on the Ladies European Tour in 2012 at the South African Women’s Open. She was part of the Solheim Cup teams in 2013 and 2015, earning three points from seven matches across the two events, and returns to her home country Germany this week for the ISPS HANDA Ladies European Masters. 

“We are delighted that Caroline has made a fully-deserved breakthrough on the LPGA Tour,” said Galvin Green Managing Director Greg Pearse. “Galvin Green is proud to support some of the brightest talents across all tours and Caroline’s victory is proof of this,” he added.

Galvin Green has also just launched Team Europe's outerwear for the 2016 Ryder Cup at Hazeltine. Check that out by clicking here. For more information on Galvin Green, please visit www.galvingreen.com.
