April 11, 2011

Players using SuperStroke putter grips finished T8^th, T20^th and T24^th at the Masters Golf Tournament Sunday. Three oversized grips by SuperStroke Golf were in play at the Masters, making SuperStroke the #1 jumbo putter grips in play at Augusta National Golf Club.

T8^th Place/#11 in Putting - KJ Choi played a SuperStroke putter grip in his second straight and third career Top 10 finish at the Masters. Choi, a SuperStroke staff player and winner of three PGA Tour events with a SuperStroke grip, placed T8th at the Masters with an 8-under par 280. It was his third Top 10 finish of the 2011PGA TOUR season. He ranked T11^th in total putts for the event with his jumbo putter grip that measures 1.67 inches in diameter. Choi currently ranks 31^st in the 2011 FedEx Cup standings and has earned $872,249 so far this season.

“I felt like I had a chance after the 15th, but then I had a bad shot on No. 17,” said Choi. “But Charl was so good today; it was his tournament to win. I’ve been so close to winning and I’m getting better. It seems so near. It was a good experience, and I’m looking forward to next year.”

T20^th Place/#3 in Putting - The 20^th place finisher, a former major winner, used a SuperStroke Slim grip en route to his second straight Top 20 finish at Augusta National. He ranked T3^rd in putting with 111 total putts with the oversized grip designed to take the wrists out of the putting stroke and relieve tension in the hands. The player became Asia's first major men's golf champion by winning the 2009 PGA Championship, and he also won on the OneAsia Tour with a SuperStroke Slim grip at the 2010 Korea Open. In eight events this year, the player has earned three Top 10 and four Top 25 finishes, all with a SuperStroke grip. The player ranks 22^nd in the current FedEx Cup point standings and has already earned over $1.2 million in 2011.

T24^th Place - A former PGA Championship winner finished T24^th with a SuperStroke Slim putter grip at the Masters. The LSU graduate earned his third Top 25 finish of 2011 and his fifth career Top 25 finish at Augusta National.  His best finish of 2011 came two weeks ago at Arnold Palmer Invitational, where he earned his second Top 5 finish of 2011 with a SuperStroke Slim grip. The 12-time winner has been using the oversized grip since finishing 2nd at the 2010 Wyndham Championship. He currently ranks 53^rd in the FedEx Cup standings.

Since the start of the 2010 season on the PGA, Champions, Nationwide, LPGA and Asian tours, SuperStroke and Tiger Shark putter grips have been a part of three victories, 35 Top 10 finishes and 54 Top 25 finishes. SuperStroke and Tiger Shark oversized grips have earned nine victories on the PGA Tours.
