NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- With great emotion and determination in his eyes, veteran Kaenon Polarized player Paul Azinger led the United States from their underdog position in this year's Ryder Cup to defeat the Europeans for the first time in nearly a decade. Forecast as an unlikely victory without the help of superstar Tiger Woods, Azinger was able to engineer a dominating team effort by fielding a team which included six Ryder Cup rookies and making all of the right decisions along the way.
Matching his vision in choosing the next generation of Ryder Cup players, Azinger also chose to wear Kaenon Polarized Hard Kore the entire week as he monitored his team's progress closely – relying on the superior clarity of Kaenon's SR-91® revolutionary lens technology with specialized lens tints and light transmission levels for the most accurate depth perception, color contrast, and truest vision available in golf eyewear.
"I poured my heart and soul into this for two years," Azinger said, his voice cracking. "The players poured their heart and soul into this for one week. They deserved it. They just took an everything-to-gain attitude into this competition."
Azinger wasn't alone in his decision to wear Kaenon Polarized this past weekend as many other pro players on the PGA tour chose the brand for its game improving optics. At the Viking Classic in Madison, Mississippi, the leaderboard was stacked with five players wearing a variety of Kaenon Polarized styles, each backed with the superior clarity of Kaenon's SR-91 lens.
Thinking like Azinger, both Brian Gay and Rory Sabbatini wore Kaenon Polarized HARD KORE for impressive finishes. Gay, a first time PGA winner earlier this year in Kaenon's VARIANT V7, finished T2 in HARD KORE with a G12 lens - the exact same frame and lens combination that Azinger wore on the same day! - and Sabbatini finished T14 in HARD KORE G28 lens. One of the first to adopt sunglasses for golf, David Duval was back on the board on Sunday, netting his first top 25 finish of the season in Kaenon's award-winning KORE with C28 lens. John Daly wore 2 styles during the tournament, choosing to wear SEGMENT C28 and the new SPINDLE S2 C28 and Robert Gamez rounded out the Kaenon Polarized fleet sporting BASIS G28.
True performance golf eyewear validated at the top of the leaderboard, Kaenon Polarized is the ONLY polarized lens played on the PGA and LPGA Tour – and the only polarized brand to win on every tour in the world. It's the versatility of style matched with the superior optics of Kaenon's SR-91 polarized lens material that makes Kaenon the choice of the game's top pros. And of course, every Kaenon Polarized model is RX-adaptable with Kaenon's exclusive SR-91 prescription lenses in both Single Vision and the company's advanced Freestyle™ Progressive lens design.
