Nickent Golf Just Can't
Stop Winning!
Lately, there seems to be two
key elements to winning on the Nationwide Tour. First, you
must be entered in the event. Second, it seems you should
have a Nickent 3DX hybrid in your bag.
 Nickent
won for the 3rd event in a row, the 4th time in 5 events
and the 5th time in 14 events on the season. Nickent also
had the # 1 most amount of hybrids in play for the 10th
straight event on the Nationwide Tour.
Nickent was in the bag of the winner of the Chattanooga
Classic Sunday with a 3DX DC Ironwood powered with an Aldila
VS Proto shaft. The winner was an unlikely candidate for
the victory, but a course record 61 on Sunday put him at
26-under-par and into a playoff. It was the first ever professional
event for the 22-year-old Monday qualifier, a recent graduate
of Wake Forest University.
He is only the 11th player in Tour history to win in his
first career start, and only the fourth to do so in the
past 10 years. The player earned $85,500 and jumped to No.
22 on the official Nationwide Tour money list. He also gained
full status on the Tour for the rest of the 2006 and 2007
season.
"I didn't feel out of place at all this week,"
said the Chattanooga champ. "I Monday qualified and
it's easy to say but I felt like I belong out here. None
of this has hit me yet. The first thing is you come out
here and don't have status and you want to finish in the
top-25 so you can play next week. In my mind I was thinking
that I have just as good a chance as anyone else in the
field to win."
Nickent Golf is setting milestones on the Nationwide Tour
this year with 3 wins in a row and 4 wins in the last 5
events. Eleven players in the Top 30 on the money list play
Nickent 3DX DC hybrids, and Nickent is # 1 in victories,
# 1 in Top 10 finishes and # 1 for overall hybrids in play
on the 2006 Tour.
“We just can’t stop winning,” said Nickent
CEO Michael Lee. “We now have 6 wins on the PGA Tours
wins since April 30th. It’s amazing really. No other
hybrid has this many wins on the tours combined this year.
One, we make a great product. Two, we are getting a little
lucky. But luck is necessary when you are fighting the largest
manufacturers for exposure in the fastest growing category
in golf.”
