SRIXON’S MICHAEL HARRIS WINS CANADIAN TOUR’S ORDER OF MERIT
Harris Earns Money Title with a Victory at the Tour’s Season Ending Event

ATLANTA, GA, September 22, 2005
Srixon Staff Professional Michael Harris has claimed the 2005 Canadian Tour’s Order of Merit title, cemented by his second win in as many events on the Canadian Tour. Harris won the final tournament of the season, Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort Pro Am Classic at Thundering Waters Golf Club in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada on September 18th. Harris, who had to play 32 holes on Sunday due to Friday’s weather delay, was able to come back from five shots behind on the final day of play. Harris sunk a birdie putt on the final hole playing with Srixon’s Z-UR golf ball and I-302 irons, and shot a 10-under par, 278 total (63-71-75-69).

It has been a whirlwind four weeks for the Michigan native and Srixon Full Staff player. His victory at the Canadian Tour’s Bay Mills Open on August 28th earned him an exemption into the second stage of the PGA Tour’s qualifying school in addition to starts on the Nationwide Tour’s Alberta Classic and the PGA Tour’s Canadian Open. He made the most of those starts finishing T-10 in Alberta and T-21 at the Canadian Open. Harris followed up those starts with his win Sunday in Niagara Falls.

“My hats off to Srixon’s R&D who developed this unbelievable golf ball,” said Michael Harris. “Playing with the Z-UR this season has made a huge difference in my game and helped me achieve my best season as a professional. I’ve picked up very important distance off the tee, and have been able to play shots in windy conditions that hold their line and trajectory beautifully,” added Harris.

Srixon golf balls have earned 24 wins across the globe and a total of 18 Top 10 finishes already this year on the PGA Tour, including 11 Top 5 finishes.
