VISTA, Calif. -- Fujikura shafts were used by the winners of the Charles Schwab Cup Championship and the Hana Bank KOLON Championship.
The Champions Tour winner won using all Fujikura shafts including the Pro95 in his driver. The LPGA champion won using the Rombax 5Z08 in her driver.
Fujikura also was the leading Driver and Wood Shaft Brand which includes hybrids at both tournaments. At the Champions event, the prestigious year-ending tournament featuring that tour's top 30 money winners, the brand beat its next three leading competitors combined.
"These are outstanding victories for Fujikura as they continue to demonstrate that our shafts can improve the performance of professionals of various skill levels," says Dave Schnider, President/COO of Fujikura. "Our ongoing leadership validates the strong partnership and success we have with leading club companies to fit and earn the trust of these champions."
"Winning these championships and related counts are especially important because these talented and discriminating pros respect the innovative material design and technology, and superior performance of Fujikura shafts in partnering with our OEM clubmakers," says John Hovis, Fujikura PGA Tour representative.
Fujikura was the leading driver shaft brand during the third quarter at The Open Championship, PGA Championship, RICOH Women's British Open, The Senior Open Championship, U.S. Senior Open Championship and the JELD-WEN Tradition. The brand also won the driver shaft brand count at The Masters, U.S. Men's Open, U.S. Women's Open, Kraft Nabisco Championship, LPGA Championship and Senior PGA Championship.
The brand's dominant leadership position reinforces Fujikura's position as the PGA Tour's #1 Driver and Wood shaft brand for the last eight years.
