Shafts fantastic fall continued with sterling performances
by several PGA Tour professionals who use Harrison Shafts
in their clubs. The tournaments that follow the end of the
regular professional tour seasons feature varied and unique
formats at a variety of venues. The successes demonstrated
at these tournaments prove that Harrison Shafts can benefit
golfers in all tournament conditions.
Paul
Azinger, playing in cold, damp and windy conditions on Sunday,
Nov. 17, 2002, scored a 4&3 victory over Bernhard Langer
on the final day of the UBS Warburg Cup to help the U.S.
team retain its title 14_-9_ over a team representing the
rest of the world. Conditions were tough at the Sea Island
Course on St. Simon Island, Ga., during the competition
in which half the field is aged 40-49 and the other half
is over 50. Azinger's 3- and 4-woods are outfitted with
the Harrison
Pro 2.5 XL95 shaft. It is a 95-gram, boron-reinforced
shaft made with X-5200 graphite, with 2.5-degrees torque
and mid-high flex point.
Like
all Harrison shafts, the XL95
series is made in America using the finest graphite
materials available. Harrison's exacting manufacturing standards
ensure quality. The XL95 series is aimed at the highly skilled
player. They place a premium on providing true feel and
shot making. The XL95 designs produce the lowest torque
and tightest shot dispersion possible.
Jeff
Maggert, who uses the Harrison Pro 1.8 XL95 shaft in his
driver and 3-wood, teamed with John Huston to tie for second
in the Franklin Templeton Shark Shootout on Sunday, Nov.
24. The shaft is similar in design and playing characteristics
to the Pro 2.5 XL95 used by Azinger, except it has 1.8-degrees
torque and consists of XL-6200 graphite. Maggert and Huston
led after the first round,
|
played
in an alternate shot format at the Tiburon Golf Club in
Naples, Fla. Their Sunday scramble score tied them for second
in the 12-team field and earned Maggert a share of $260,000.
Peter
Lonard has the Harrison Pro 2.5 Titanium shaft in his driver
and Striper Titanium in his 3-wood, which he used to pair
with Rich Beem to win the Hyundai Team Matches PGA Tour
division on Sunday, Nov. 17. The winners in the event played
at the Golf Links at St. Regis Beach Resort and Spa, Dana
Point, Calif., which included participants from the PGA,
Senior PGA and LPGA Tours in team match play within their
division, split $220,000. Harrison's Titanium
Series shafts are designed for touring professionals
to maximize control, stability, precision and distance.
The
Pro 2.5 Titanium is made with titanium-reinforced X-6200
graphite, with 2.5-degrees torque and a mid-high flex point.
It weights 75 grams.
Mark
Brooks claimed first place at the legendary Pebble Beach
Golf Links in California in the 31st Annual Callaway Pebble
Beach Invitational. Brooks birdied the last three holes
on Sunday, Nov. 24, for a final round 69 and a four-round,
16-under par total of 272. The 1996 PGA champion won $60,000
over a field representing the four major North American
professional tours. Senior and women participants were given
a yardage advantage off the tee. Brooks' woods contain the
Harrison Pro 2.5 UL70 shafts that are made with boron-reinforced
X-6200 graphite, with 2.5-degrees torque and a mid-high
flex point. The Ultra Lite Series shafts weigh 70 grams
and provide optimal stability.
