Nickent Golf Wins “Major?”
on Nationwide Tour!
Nickent Golf, already the winningest hybrid on the 2006
PGA and Nationwide Tours going into the weekend, won again
Sunday for Nickent’s third win in the last six Nationwide
Tour events!
The victory came at the LaSalle Bank Open, the largest purse
event on the Nationwide Tour. Many players call this week's
tournament one of the Nationwide Tour's "Major Championships."
In addition to the largest payout, the Chicago event also
attracts huge crowds and has difficult playing conditions
that allowed only five players to break par.
"This tournament just keeps getting better and better,"
said the champion. "I definitely feel like it is one
of our major championships and that makes the victory even
sweeter."
Nickent’s 3DX family of hybrids have been the # 1
hybrid on the Nationwide Tour for 8 straight events, especially
impressive given the fact that several manufacturers have
started a “hybrid war” against Nickent to try
and curb their success. This week, Nickent had 37 hybrids
in play to earn the # 1 ranking.
“I am proud of what we have accomplished on the Nationwide
Tour this year and we are just getting started,” said
Nickent CEO Michael Lee. “To be the # 1 hybrid and
be a part of winning the biggest event on the Nationwide
Tour is like having your cake and eating it too. We love
the # 1 hybrid ranking, but winning is what it is all about.
We have won more than any other hybrid manufacturer on the
PGA and Nationwide Tours, which sends a strong message to
all potential players that says this is where you need to
be.”
The Nationwide Tour’s top winning check of $135,000,
moved the winner from No. 25 to No. 3 on the money list
with total earnings of $202,804. The winner virtually guaranteed
safe passage to the PGA Tour next year, and he will take
his hot hand to Winged Foot for the U.S. Open this week
after qualifying with another recent Nickent winner in Atlanta.
He will then head back to Chicago for the Cialis Western
Open - an invitation he received for winning the LaSalle
Bank Open.
"I'll be amped up from this victory while I'm going
to New York for the U.S. Open," said the Nickent user.
"The U.S. Open is such a great event. It will be a
great test of golf and I feel like this week has prepared
me for the challenge."
