MEMPHIS, Tenn. (July 21, 2014) - The winner
of the 2014 Open
Championship relied on Project X to claim the
Claret Jug and secure the
third leg of the career Grand Slam this past
weekend.
The 25-year-old champion shot 66-66-68 in
the first three rounds of the
tournament which gave him a six-stroke lead
on the final day. Though
the gap was closed to just two-strokes, the
champion saved par on the
final two holes to close with 1-under 71 and
finish 17 under par for the
week-the fourth-lowest score in the history of
The Open Championship.
"A big congratulations to the 143rd Open
champion on his third win at a
Major," said Scott Hennessy, president and
CEO of True Temper Sports.
"He played impressively throughout the
tournament and gave himself a
nice cushion going into Sunday. It really came
down to his short game on
those final two holes, and we are proud that
Project X could provide the
precision needed to close out the tournament.
The champion has had
Project X in the bag throughout his career and
during all three of his
Major wins. We look forward to watching his
pursuit of the career Grand
Slam in the years to come!"
