Each won with a full bag of Nike Golf equipment including the Nike 20XI Ball and Method Putter –<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

BEAVERTON, Ore. (October 22, 2012) \u2013 The Nike Swoosh clenched two wins this weekend thanks to performances by Nike Golf Athletes Suzann Pettersen and Russell Henley.\u00a0 Pettersen secured her ninth career victory on the LPGA Tour at the KEB Hanabank Championship and Henley captured his second victory in three starts on the Web.com Tour at the Winn-Dixie Jacksonville Open.\u00a0 Both Nike Golf athletes won in sudden death playoffs.<\/p>\n

Pettersen sealed her victory on the third playoff hole by sinking a five-foot birdie putt with her Nike Method Putter, which\u00a0features Nike\u2019s polymetal groove technology, generating a faster forward roll at impact for increased accuracy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Along with the 14 Nike clubs in her bag, Pettersen also played with Nike\u2019s 20XI X ball, which utilizes Nike\u2019s Resin Core technology.\u00a0 This new innovative technology provides a lighter, faster and more responsive core than rubber core technology. Nike Resin Core technology allows for less spin off the driver and more spin off the wedge, creating greater distance and control.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Henley, who recently joined the Nike Golf Tour staff, is becoming known for making clutch putts en route to victory.\u00a0 For the second time in his young professional career, Henley made a crucial putt with his Nike Method putter to win. Playing with 14 Nike clubs and the Nike 20XI X ball, Henley is ranked first in greens in regulation on the Web.com Tour. Henley has now moved into the top five on the Web.com money list.<\/p>\n

In addition to playing with Nike Golf equipment, both Pettersen and Henley wore Nike Golf Apparel from the Performance line and footwear that features Nike\u2019s successful Lunar technology.<\/p>\n
