Ponte Victory!: FOOTJOY and LOVE win at the Players Championship Contact Jared Kelowitz FAIRHAVEN, Mass. (March 31, 2003) - Davis Love III had been quietly predicting that 2003 was the year when things would "come together". The 38-year old Love, already with one win and a second this year, blistered the Stadium Course at TPC Sawgrass on Sunday to win his second Players Championship title. Love's final round 64 (-8) was good for a four round total of 271 (-17) and a six shot victory. His final round 64 included six birdies and one "nail in the coffin" eagle on the par-5 16th hole. For his 16th career win, Love cashed a check for $1.170 million, the largest of his career. Davis trusted tour proven FootJoy Classics Dry Premiere golf shoes for his win over the toughest field in golf. Premium Calfskin and the Intellishield Extreme membrane ensured Davis never had to worry about being comfortable. In addition, despite the foul weather, Davis gripped the lead and wouldn't let go due in part to the Fit Feel Flex of the FootJoy F3 glove. The win at the Players Championship also marks the 9th PGA Tour victory for FootJoy shoes in 2003. FootJoy players have captured 9 of 13 (69%) PGA Tour tournaments this year. Tournaments have been won using Classics Dry Premiere, FootJoy GelFusion, and DryJoys, illustrating that FootJoy has more performance golf shoe choices than any other. |
