Nike Golf Athletes Suzann Pettersen and Oliver Fisher Shine with Big Wins on Their
\nRespective Tours. Both Nike athletes won with Nike VR clubs, Nike Method prototype putters and Nike 20XI balls.
\nBeaverton, OR (August 22, 2011) – Nike Golf athletes Suzann Pettersen and
\ntwenty-two-year-old Oliver Fisher emerged as champions at the Safeway Classic and
\nthe Czech Open on the LPGA and PGA European Tours, respectively.\u00a0 Both Nike athletes
\nwon with a bag full of Nike Golf products, including the new Nike 20XI golf ball and
\nNike Method prototype putters.<\/p>\n
Pettersen, who came off of a recent win at the Ladies Irish Open, delivered a
\nstunning performance in the final round by shooting a 7-under-par score of 64 to
\nposition her in a sudden-death playoff and overcome a 9-shot deficit. She sealed her
\nvictory with a par on the first playoff hole.\u00a0 This is her third win this year with
\nthe Nike 20XI-X golf ball and second victory with the new Nike prototype putter.
\nThis new Nike Method prototype features a unique mallet shape with a high MOI
\nproviding overall stability and performance. It will be available at retail on
\nNovember 1, 2011.<\/p>\n
On the PGA European Tour, Fisher claimed his first career victory and displayed
\nnerves of steel by making six crucial birdie putts with his Nike Method putter en
\nroute to his two-stroke victory. The Nike Method franchise has been extremely
\nsuccessful on the respective professional tours all over the world having won 26
\ntimes, including three PGA Tour major championships. Fisher joins fellow Nike
\nathlete Pettersen as the first professionals to win on the global tours with the new
\n20XI ball since its North America launch in April.\u00a0 The Nike 20XI ball is scheduled
\nto be introduced at retail globally on February 1, 2012. The 20XI ball features
\ngame-changing resin core technology that is faster and lighter than traditional
\nrubber cores. A faster and lighter core results in longer distance and more
\ncontrolled shots.<\/p>\n
Both athletes also used the Nike VR Woods, Hybrids, Irons and Wedges. The Nike VR
\nfranchise has more than 80 worldwide wins including three major championships.<\/p>\n
