(August 4, 2003) - Just one week after Michael Campbell captured the Irish Open with a new 400cc prototype driver from Nike Golf (in addition to Forged Pro Combo Irons (3-PW) and Forged Wedge (58-degree)), the Tour Staff turned in five more stellar performances this weekend. A look at the weekend results:

LPGA

Grace Park continues to have the best year of her young career. She finished the Women's British Open in a tie for third place.

Park (400cc Forged Titanium Driver and T-40 Fairway Woods) and LPGA rookie Lorena Ochoa, both shot second round 65s playing Nike Golf's new, longer TA2-LNG and broke the course record at Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf Club.

PGA

Paul Gow, using Nike Golf's 400cc Forged Titanium Driver and Forged Pro Combo Irons (3-PW), enjoyed his best finish in 10 months with a tie for eighth at the Buick Open in Grand Blanc, Michigan. Gow teed up Nike Golf's Nike One TW prototype golf ball with fellow Tour Staffer Tiger Woods.

Woods, the Buick Open defending champion, made a late charge on Sunday but came up short and had to settle for 2nd place this year. Woods is playing forged blade irons from Nike Golf and a Nike One TW prototype golf ball.

Nationwide

Kyle Thompson, playing with Nike Golf's largest and most forgiving driver, the 450cc Forged Titanium Driver, Forged Pro Combo Irons (3-PW) and forged wedge, took second at the Chattanooga Classic on the Nationwide Tour. Thompson plays the longer TA2-LNG from Nike Golf.
