Fujikura was again trusted as the number one performance golf shaft at the Tour event in Minnesota, with the champion claiming his first Tour victory using the brand’s innovation in his driver shaft.

The 21-year-old victor – one of the game’s brightest talents who only turned professional last month after a glittering amateur career – trusted Fujikura with a Speeder 661 TR-X in his driver as he returned rounds of 64, 68, 61 and 66 for a 25-under-par finish and a three-shot win.

This was another week where Fujikura won the Tour’s shaft counts, as the number one driver shaft in the field – 38.6% trusting Fujikura, up 8.3% on the nearest competitor. Meanwhile, 40.6% used Fujikura in their wood shafts, 16.3% ahead of the nearest competitor, with 52% of the field playing Fujikura in their hybrid shafts. The victory in Minnesota was the 14th on Tour this year for the brand.

Pat McCoy, Director of Tour Operations at Fujikura, said: “We are proud to support this first Tour victory for one of the game’s brightest talents, who is no doubt destined for a great future.

“Our winner showed great composure, especially during the final round to see off the challenge of a world-class field. With the pressure on, players know that they can trust the innovation, consistency and control of Fujikura in the game’s biggest events to get the job done.”
