KBS Tour shaft trusted in AT&T Championship victory and KBS Hi-Rev shaft wins the CIMB Classic
BOULDER, Colo. (October 29, 2013) – KBS Tour shafts claimed its fifth Champions Tour victory this year and an additional win with the Hi-Rev shaft at the PGA Tour’s CIMB Classic over the weekend.
The win at the AT&T Championship came after a 10-foot birdie on the first playoff hole on Sunday. This feat marks the champion’s ninth total win using KBS Tour shafts- four Champions events and five PGA events- since 2008.
The AT&T Championship winner has trusted the KBS Tour in his irons for the last six years and recently won two majors: the Senior PGA Championship and the Senior U.S. Open. At the AT&T Championship, he led the field with 19 birdies. This player’s most recent accomplishment places him at the top of the leader board for the Charles Schwab Cup.
KBS’ victory at the CIMB Classic was again decided by a birdie on the first hole of the playoff round. The winning player used the KBS Hi-Rev shaft in his lob wedge.
“We are thrilled for this Champion’s Tour player and all of his accomplishments in 2013,” said Kim Braly, director of tour operations and research and development at KBS. “His victories at the Senior PGA Championship and the Senior U.S. Open, combined with this win at the AT&T Championship, make for a terrific season. We are extremely proud that he was one of the first players on the PGA to switch into KBS shafts and wish him the best of luck with the remainder of his season.”
