CARLSBAD, Calif. – A 40-year-old Austrian used Nippon Shaft products yesterday to record his ninth victory on the DP World Tour.
The champion used N.S.PRO MODUS³ TOUR 120 steel shafts in his irons and wedges to post a 19-under par total with rounds of 64-66-68-67—265 at the Volvo China Open in Shanghai. He trailed by three shots on the 10th hole of his final round. There, he chipped in for birdie, drained a 25-foot birdie putt on No. 11 and made another long putt on No. 13 to tie for the lead. In the end he won my three shots and earned €400,172 ($469,000).
