Srixon’s Robert Allenby had weekend rounds of 69 and 65 to finish 4-under par at the Stanford St. Jude Championship and tied for second after earning a spot in the three-man playoff.  Allenby earned $528,000 for second and took a big jump forward to No. 11 in the FedExCup Points.

 

Allenby, ranked No. 1 in Greens in Regulation last week, had pin point accuracy with his Srixon 701 Tour irons and the Srixon Z-UR golf ball. He also used the new Srixon Z-RW driver, which he ranked No. 5 in accuracy last week, averaging 299 yards off the tee.

 

The Srixon Z-RW driver features a Starburst Power Face design which creates a uniform trampoline effect all over the clubface. The Z-RW driver also includes four different bulge-and-roll zones to help minimize dispersion while increasing the gear effect that helps shots hit off the toe or heel bend back toward the middle.

 

Allenby’s game is peaking at the right time as he heads to Torrey Pines this week for the 2008 U.S. Open Championship. He has recorded three top-tens in the last six weeks.  Also playing in the U.S. Open is Srixon’s Jim Furyk, Henrik Stenson, Tim Clark, John Rollins and Steve Flesch.
