MEMPHIS, Tenn. (April 22, 2013) – The RBC Heritage champion trusted his short game to Project X to score a playoff victory this weekend at one of the PGA TOUR’s tightest courses.
The final playoff on Sunday afternoon saw two former U.S. Open champions-and Project X and Dynamic Gold-going head to head for the win. It was the champion’s par with Project X 6.5 in his irons on the first playoff hole that won him the RBC title and a move to number six in the FedEx Cup standings.
“On a course like Harbor Town which is notorious for gusting winds and tight fairways, accuracy is incredibly important and ultimately makes the winning difference,” said Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “With many of the players in the field at the RBC Heritage shooting in the 80s on this challenging course, it is no coincidence that the winner, the runner up and all Top 5 finishers trust their game to shafts by True Temper.”
Truth in Numbers:
• The RBC Heritage winner’s bag: Project X 6.5
• The RBC Heritage runner up’s bag: Dynamic Gold X100
• 112 sets of True Temper shafts in play at the RBC Heritage
True Temper’s Project X line of shafts feature straight taper and short tip sections that provide maximum energy transfer with low spin rates required for penetrating iron shots.
