MARLBOROUGH, Mass. (July 14, 2003) - At the BMO Financial Group Canadian
Women's Open, the winner and all top-10 finishers wore CHAMP golf spikes.
Putting her trust in CHAMP 6mm Cer-Mec(TM) spikes, the winner birdied
two of the last three holes for her 33rd career victory. The other top-10
finishers wore CHAMP ScorpionSpikes(TM). Dating back to last year, CHAMP
has won every spike count, and CHAMP spikes have won 21 of the last 25
events.
Overall, according to the Darrell Survey, 112 golfers wore CHAMP soft golf spikes at the BMO Financial Group Canadian Women's Open, with 111 wearing CHAMP ScorpionSpikes. This marks the 12th straight event in which more than 100 LPGA golfers have chosen CHAMP soft golf spikes. In addition, according to CHAMP's LPGA Tour representative, 7 golfers wore CHAMP 6mm Cer-Mec(TM) and other metal spikes, and one wore spikes manufactured by CHAMP for Nike Golf, bringing CHAMP's total spike count to 120, or 83 percent of the field.
Recently, CHAMP ScorpionSpikes placed No. 1 in GolfTest USA's independent
tests of soft golf spikes. The CHAMP ScorpionSpike was awarded the highest
overall score of 8.9 against all competing brands in the soft golf spike
category after rigorous testing for quality, ease of cleaning, traction,
clogging, and durability (http://www.golftestusa.com/spikes.html). CHAMP
was the big winner in the category, placing three of its spike products
in the Top Five of test results. The #1 CHAMP ScorpionSpike was followed
closely in the overall ratings by the CHAMP TRAC(TM) spike and the CHAMP
Tred-Lite.
