SuperStroke Slim putter grips helped two former major winners earn Top 5 finishes on the PGA Tour this week and guided a 24-year-old rookie to his first ever Top 20 finish on the PGA Tour.

One SuperStroke player finished T5th at the Mayakoba Golf Classic at Riviera Maya-Cancun. The 12-time winner on the PGA Tour ranked T13th Putts Per GIR for the event. He currently ranks 20th on the 2011 PGA Tour in Putts Per Round with an average of 28.3.

Another former major winner used a SuperStroke Slim putter grip, measuring 1.3 inches in diameter, to the elite 8 and a Top 5 finish at the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship. The current 43rd ranked player in the world defeated the 22nd, the 55th and the 4th ranked players in the world in match play before being defeated by the world's 10th ranked player 2 and 1.

The South Korean who became Asia's first major men's golf champion by winning the 2009 PGA Championship, also won on the OneAsia Tour with a SuperStroke Slim grip in 2010 at the Korea Open. With his Top 5 finish at the Accenture Match Play Championship, the player moved from 75th to 42nd in the 2011 FedEx Cup point standings and earned $270,000.

At the Mayakoba Golf Classic, another South Korean used a SuperStroke Slim grip en route to his first ever Top 20 finish on the PGA Tour. The player has been playing a SuperStroke grip in his rookie season on the PGA Tour after finishing T16 at the 2010 PGA Tour Qualifying Tournament. He had never played on the PGA Tour or Nationwide Tour prior to 2011.
