Cape Town - COBRA PUMA GOLF athlete Rickie Fowler powered his way to a stunning victory on Sunday at THE PLAYERS Championship in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
Trailing by five strokes with just six holes to play, Fowler birdied 13, 15, eagled 16 before birdies 17 and 18 sent him to the top of the leaderboard in the tournament dubbed "the unofficial fifth major".
Following a dramatic playoff against Sergio Garcia and Kevin Kisner, Fowler prevailed to notch up his third worldwide victory.
Fowler was decked out in PUMA Golf pink apparel and TITANTOUR shoes in honor of Mother’s Day and Pink Out and equipped with his COBRA Golf clubs including his Fly-Z+ driver which he used to hit the longest drive of the week at 336 yards.
“Rickie is such a unique and captivating player and an excellent brand ambassador. We couldn’t be more thrilled to see him celebrate this win,” said Bob Philion, President, COBRA PUMA GOLF.
“Having dynamic and colorful players such as Rickie, with this signature style and edge, coupled with his world class performance, helps reinforce COBRA PUMA GOLF’s message of game enjoyment, and adds more excitement to a tournament.”
Fowler, who had 21 birdies and an eagle this week, used his COBRA FLY-Z+ Driver in his signature Orange, to help secure his win. Featuring revolutionary ‘FLIPZONE’ weighting technology, the Fly-Z+ Driver is COBRA Golf’s first ever front & back CG adjustable driver to deliver ultimate distance.
A low front CG setting provides penetrating ball flight with more roll, while the low back CG setting provides more towering ball flight with more carry.
