Casey Wins First PGA Tour Title with Victory Red at his Side
With 14 Nike clubs in his bag, Paul Casey won the first PGA Tour event of his career at the Shell Houston Open, giving him a surge of confidence heading into the Masters. Battling tough weather conditions, Casey tirelessly demonstrated a strong will to capture his first PGA Tour title and meet the expectations of those who recognize the high level of talent that he has had throughout his entire golf career.
Using a new Nike prototype putter, Casey ranked second in putts per greens in regulation, and was sixth in putts per round. The prototype putter has been a member of Casey’s Nike Golf arsenal since last season. Also in his bag were Nike’s new Victory Red irons, which assisted him to a 75% average in greens in regulation.
Averaging 307-yard drives, Casey used the winning combination of a Nike SQ driver and the new Nike ONE Tour ball, which further reduces driver spin and optimizes flight trajectory while improving overall distance performance. Rounding out his bag full of Nike Golf equipment were his Nike SQ SUMO 3 and 5-woods, and his 54 and 60-degree Nike Victory Red wedges.
