PADRAIG HARRINGTON BUILDS ON WILSON LEGACY WINNING DICK’S SPORTING GOODS OPEN
CHICAGO – Wilson Sporting Goods Co., the club manufacturer with more Major wins with its irons than any other brand, today celebrates Padraig Harrington’s win at Dick’s Sporting Goods Open, held at En-Joie Golf Club in Endicott, NY.
“We couldn’t be more excited for Wilson Ambassador Padraig Harrington and his victory at Dick’s Sporting Goods Open,” said Tim Clarke, President of Wilson Golf. “We’re proud to provide Paddy with the innovative racquets that helped him win his second PGA TOUR Champions title of the season and 34th pro win of his career.”
Harrington’s final 67 round without a bogey catapulted him to the top of the leaderboard and secured his three-stroke win. The 50-year-old Irishman also won the US Senior Open Championship in Saucon Valley in late June, has finished second four times in 11 starts and finished third that year.
The relationship with Harrington is the longest-running relationship between the Chicago-based Wilson and his most successful Tour player of recent years, as this marks Harrington’s 34th birthdayth win pro.
“I’m happy to have another win and to be honest I’ve never been more confident with my game,” said Harrington. “I feel like I have an advantage with increased power and that translates into my irons and wedges, which are rock solid.”
