Stricker win takes him to number two in the world and sees FootJoy 5 for 5 in the 2010 season

FootJoy, the #1 Shoe in Golf is delighted to announce that FootJoy ambassador Steve Stricker claimed victory at the Northern Trust Open at the Riviera Country Club in California. Stricker’s win means the American captures the number two spot in the world rankings following his 4th win in 15 starts on the PGA Tour and also marks a clean sweep for FJ, with five out of five wins on the PGA Tour in the 2010 season. Stricker’s win not only adds to the unprecedented tally of FJ winners in the 2010 season so far, but reiterates FJ’s unchallenged leadership as the number one shoe and glove on all tours worldwide.

Stricker’s closing 1 under par 70 saw him finish on 16 under par, 268 and 2 shots clear of Luke Donald. Stricker’s win also elevates him to the top spot of the FedEx rankings. An emotional win for the 42 year old represented a great week for FJ at the Northern Trust Open, with the top 3 all choosing the unrivalled comfort and stability of FJ. Stricker wore the FJ SYNR-G, which utilises the exclusive G-Force Tri-Lateral Stability Frame and perforated alloy midfoot stability bridge to deliver tremendous stability and bolster tour-level swing speeds. Stricker was joined at the top of the leaderboard by England’s Luke Donald, who wore the all new FJ ICON and big-hitting JB Holmes who also wore the FJ SYNR-G and the FJ RainGrip glove. Stricker also relied on the consistent fit, grip and performance of the all new FootJoy Pure Touch glove to help get a grip of the tournament.

Whether it is the all-round excellence of the all new FJ ICON, the unrivalled stability of the SYNR•G™, or the reliable and consistent performance of DryJoys®, FootJoy remains the overwhelming favourite for golfers of all abilities around the world.
