MARLBOROUGH, Mass. -- Champ Spikes, the number one brand on tour, announces that the winner of the Canadian Open wore Champ Scorpion Stinger spikes. The champion, won his 13th career PGA TOUR title Sunday and his second in a row at the Canadian Open. He used stability from his Champ Spikes all weekend and momentum from the front nine Sunday, which included two birdies and rare a hole-in-one to secure a one stroke win over the second place finisher.

In Europe, on the LPGA Tour, at The Evian Masters, the winner also counted on CHAMP spikes for her first ever Tour victory. The winner was wearing the CHAMP Pro Stinger™, and won in a one hole playoff over the runner-up. CHAMP Spikes continues to be the spike of preference on the LPGA tour as six of the top ten finishers wore the CHAMP brand.

The statistics continue to get better and better for CHAMP Spikes this year,” said Harris MacNeill, President of CHAMP. “The top players are continually asking for CHAMP spikes from our tour representatives and that says a lot about the confidence they have in our product. Spikes are what make us the number one brand on tour. This has been documented for years.”
