FootJoy, the #1 Shoe & Glove in Golf, enjoyed victories on all three tours this weekend spearheaded with a win on the PGA Tour for Ben Curtis at The Valero Texas Open and victory for fellow FJ loyalist World #3, Lee Westwood, as he successfully defended his Indonesian Masters title on the Asian Tour. A memorable weekend for FootJoy was wrapped up at the Volvo China Open, where the winner strode to victory in FJ ICON™. FJ enjoyed another strong shoe count in China where 56% of the field trusted the exceptional fit and performance of FJ shoes.

2003 Open Champion, Curtis recorded his first victory since 2006, and climbed to 28th in the FedExCup standings, which all but assures him a spot in the season ending FedExCup Playoffs. Relying on the consistent performance and comfort of DryJoys Tour™ golf shoes and the unrivalled fit and grip of the FJ StaSof glove, the American stepped up to the plate with a birdie at the last hole to clinch a two shot victory.

On the other side of the world, Lee Westwood was enjoying victory himself trusting the athletic performance of the FJ Sport™ and the exceptional grip, comfort and performance of the FJ SciFlex glove. Westwood completed a marathon of 32 holes as he returned on Sunday morning to finish the third round before closing with a final round of 74 for a winning total of 16 under par at the Royale Jakarta Golf Club.

“This has been a memorable weekend for FootJoy, with three outstanding victories for FJ shoe loyalists across the globe. It is extremely pleasing to see Ben back to winning ways and showing the class of a Major Champion. We are also extremely pleased to see Lee defending his title as he continues yet another sterling season,” commented Russell Lawes, European Marketing Manager, FootJoy.

Whether it is the all-round excellence of the all-new FJ ICON™, the reliability and consistent performance of DryJoys Tour™, or the athletic performance of the FJ Sport™, FootJoy remains the overwhelming favourite for golfers of all abilities around the world.
