A long time coming
At the 74th attempt Sergio Garcia is finally a major champion. Prior to last week's Masters tournament at Augusta National, the Spaniard was widely referred to as one of the best golfers to never have won a major title - but not anymore.
Friends, Ryder Cup teammates and long-term golfing rivals Garcia and Rose shared the overnight lead going into the final round and produced a thrilling battle in their quests for a maiden Green Jacket. After 72 holes there was nothing to separate the two Europeans, and so a sudden-death playoff followed. A wayward drive into the trees by Rose at the first playoff hole paved the way for Garcia to win his first major crown.
Not many people can argue with the outcome; Sergio was the only golfer to card four under-par rounds around one of golf's toughest tests. A fitting champion.

PING Fitting Update If you're looking for better accuracy and a big distance gain look no further than our PING fitting system. We have fitted several members of late and seen some excellent results. The latest who came in for a fitting was
Paul Ramsay where we not only improved discrepancy in accuracy but we also lifted the height of the ball flight and gained around 12 yards average in total distance per iron.
The key benefits to
Paul were the ability to stop his ball more easily on the green with the increased height carry and distance gain.
Paul was using dynamic gold shafts at around 120 grams. The change to the Modus 105 shaft improved smash factor increasing ball speed off the face at similar club head speed. The I200 iron is great to look at so no adverse look versus his Mizuno irons of old. A slight lie change to a more upright lie helped with the odd bad shot going right in the past.
