Nike Golf Tour staff member Simon Dyson  claimed victory in emphatic style at the KLM Open this week for the second time in four years, bringing to 12 the number of tournament wins by Nike staff in the 2009 season. This was his third career win and comes on the back of three further top 10 finishes this year.

Six strokes off the lead going into the final round, Dyson produced a stunning, course record equalling 63 to take him into a sudden death play off which he won at the first extra hole.  Dyson, with his Nike Sumo² 5900 driver in hand, was fourth in driving accuracy averaging 299.1 yards, proving that square technology is here to stay. He follows fellow Nike Golf athletes Lucas Glover and Stewart Cink’s recent major wins with each champion having something in common, storming to victory with a square-shaped driver. Also assisting him with his pinpoint iron shots were his Nike ONE Tour D ball and Nike VR Split Cavity blades.

Nike’s Victory Red Forged Split Cavity irons maintain a traditional look with a high degree of workability with a split back design that positions the centre of gravity behind the sweet spot for ball control while providing forgiveness.  The Victory Red Forged Split Cavity irons are made of 1025 Forged Carbon Steel and are machined to precise tolerances to optimise feel and accuracy, while the CNC Milled Face ensures uniform ball compression for consistent ball flight and distance control.  Differentiating slightly from the Victory Red TW Blades, the Victory Red Forged Split Cavity provides a higher trajectory and is more forgiving.
