ACCRA wins at the Alstom Open de France

Kingston, Ontario – PGMC, the parent company of ACCRA premium golf shafts is proud to announce that the champion of the 2010 Alstom Open de France used an ACCRA shaft in his driver.

The popular Spaniard, whom has trusted ACCRA in different Ping drivers, virtually exclusively, since ACCRA’s introduction more than 6 years ago, has won again! Winning on any major Tour is difficult, but year after year “the Mechanic” strings together multiple victories. His victory at the Omega Championship earlier this season took 75 holes. This past week he triumphed in France on the 1st extra hole with a clutch 10 foot putt. His victory, was set up by a perfect drive using a Ping G15 driver custom fit with an ACCRA shaft, pressuring his two competitors into errant tee sots.
Hitting 76.8% of the fairways is what “the Mechanic” does best, but add to that a 284.5 yard average driving distance for the week and one can see how his weekend totals of 66-67 earned him a trip to the playoff.

This second victory of 2010 moves this resident of Malaga, Spain into 6th place in the Ryder Cup standings and 6th place in the “Race for Dubai”. 17 European Tour victories for this cigar and fine wine aficionado makes for a wonderful career, but as we can all see, he is not even close to being finished yet!
