After a clutch final round performance, KBS was back in the winner’s circle at the Zurich Classic. The first player on the team had KBS Tour 130x shafts in his Srixon irons and KBS Custom+ Tour Wedge shafts in his Cleveland wedges. The other player had a KBS CT Tour Putter 120 shaft in his TaylorMade putter. The Irish duo started the tournament with a solid round of 61, but struggled on Friday with a round of 70. Saturday, they regained momentum with a round of 64, which left them trailing the lead by 2 strokes. The final round on Sunday put the longtime friends to the test. Making matters worse they started the final round by bogeying 2 out of the first 3 holes. The resilient KBS players stayed calm and bounced back by birdieing 4 out of 5 holes which started on the 7th!
The back nine played tough for the team who struggled to save pars on holes 13 and 14. On 16 their tee shot would end up in the left bunker, leaving them a tough up and down from 133 yards. His partner came in clutch by picking his bunker shot clean and hitting it within 10 feet for birdie. The birdie on 16, put them in a three-way tie for the lead. The Irishmen dropped a stroke on 17, but came back on the last hole with a clutch birdie to force a playoff. The playoff would only last one hole, where their opponents made a costly bogey to hand over the win to the KBS team. The win at the Zurich Classic would be the players first victory of the 2024 season. One of the players would join the record books in golf history by claiming his 25thTour victory. Congratulations go out to the Winners and all KBS Players in the Field at the Zurich Classic! | Player Driven. Tour Proven |
