PGMC (Kingston Ontario) – In one of the most exciting finishes of the 2008 PGA Tour season a 32 year old from Amarillo TX over came numerous adversities to clinch his second PGA Tour victory with a clutch birdie on the 72^nd hole of the Ginn sur Mer Classic. This graduate of Texas A&M relied on TaylorMade 3 and 5 woods custom fit with ACCRA AXIV XE 80 shafts to provide him with unparalleled distance and accuracy to navigate around the difficult Conservatory Course in Palm Coast Florida in blustery conditions.

This TaylorMade staffer has led the Tour in Birdies and Par Breakers for most of the year and certainly relied on his strong fairway wood play to bolster this important statistic. Winning his second PGA Tour event vaulted him into 73 spot on the PGA money list and an invitation to a number of golf’s biggest events.

 ACCRA also placed second in the same event when a 39 year old Henderson State graduate also birdied the final hole to solidify his second 2^nd place finish of the season. Hitting 86% of the fairways in those conditions was a major key to his success while using a new Cleveland Launcher that he only recently put in play using the same ACCRA AXIV XT 60 that he has used all year. This has been a wonderful year for this Hope Arizona native whom now stands 31^st on the PGA money list.
