ATLANTA, GA, September 11, 2006 -
In less than a month,Srixon Staff Professional Jim Furyk has moved up
two places in the Official World Golf Rankings and is now ranked 2nd in
the world, up five spots from the beginning of the season when he put a
full arsenal of Srixon golf clubs and golf ball in his bag. Furyk heads
into the Ryder Cup armed with Srixon’s W-506 driver, Srixon I-506
irons, Srixon wedges, and the soon to be released Srixon Z-URC golf
ball. Furyk, the 2003 U.S. Open Champion, has had a remarkable season
since switching to Srixon this year. He won yesterday’s Canadian Open
for his second win of the season to go along with his victory at the
Wachovia Championship in May. He has a remarkable 10 top-4 finishes
this year and 11 top-10s overall, and has now earned over $6MM in
official prize money for the season – a career best. Furyk now has 12
career victories and is one of only 5 multiple winners on the PGA Tour
in 2006. Srixon Staff Professionals have amassed 32 Top 10s on the PGA
TOUR this season including Furyk’s two wins and John Rollins’ victory
at the B.C. Open. Not to be outdone, on the LPGA Tour, Srixon’s Karrie
Webb has earned 3 wins including a major, the Kraft Nabisco
Championship and stands 2nd on that ADT Money List.
