Harrison Victorious at Bruno's Memorial Classic with Pro 2.5 FL Lite
5-05-03

Tom Jenkins scored his first 2003 win on the PGA Champions Tour at the Bruno's Memorial Classic on Sunday. His driver, shafted with a Harrison Sports Pro 2.5 FL, played a big part in his final round, 5-under 67, which led to his 16-under-par 200 and a two shot victory over Bruce Fleisher. The victory earned Jenkins $210,000 and moved him to fourth on the 2003 Champions Tour money list at $572,538.

Jenkins approached the par 5 18th hole with a two shot lead, needing to place his drive in the fairway to set up a safe approach to the difficult finishing hole. Anything off the fairway at the Greystone Golf and Country Club course in Hoover, Ala., near Birmingham brings bogie into play. Jenkins placed the ball in perfect position with his Harrison Sports shafted driver and closed the door with a two-putt par.

"Harrison congratulates Tom Jenkins on his victory. This is Harrison's second wins this year on the Champions Tour," Harrison President Michael Cheng, said. "With each passing week, more top-10s and championships are won by players using Harrison Sports shafts in their clubs. The quality of our shafts is being proven where it counts Æ on the leader board."

Jenkins is tied for third on the Champions Tour with five top-10 finishes in 2003. He is eighth in scoring average and fourth in total birdies. His win was the second on the Champions Tour this year by a member of Harrison Sports PGA Champions Tour staff.

Rodger Davis claimed the Toshiba Classic in March. Davis, ninth on the Champions Tour money list with $502,305, finished fifth at the Bruno's Memorial Classic, his fourth top-10 of the year. Davis uses the hottest new shaft on the PGA Champions Tour, the Harrison Striper J, in his Adams 9.5 redline driver. He currently ranks third in total driving on the Tour. He also uses the Harrison Pro 2.5 Tour in his Kasco 3 and 5 woods.

Meanwhile, on the PGA Tour at the HP Classic of New Orleans, the fifth placed player finished with a final round of 70 at 17-under-par 271. The $190,000 paycheck jumped him 20 places on the PGA Tour money list to 55th place. He plays with the Harrison Pro 2.5 XL 95 in his 3 and 5 woods.

On the European Tour, a Harrison shaft user shot a final round 65 to claim second in the Italian Open. This Scot plays with the Harrison Striper J in his driver.

In 2003, Harrison Sports PGA and PGA Champions Tour staff has recorded 35 top-10 finishes and two Champions Tour titles. Since their debut on the professional Tours, Harrison shafts have been used to win 17 tournaments and score more than 140 top-10 finishes.

Jenkins, from Austin, Texas, joined the Champions Tour in 1998 following a successful career on the PGA Tour. The University of Houston graduate was a member of the Cougars 1970 NCAA championship squad. He values the stability of the Harrison Pro 2.5 FL shaft. Part of Harrison's Long Drive Series, the shaft is made of boron-reinforced X-6200 graphite. It weighs 67 grams and has 2.5-degrees torque and a high flex point.

The Harrison Striper J, used by Davis and the well-known Scot, is a 60-gram, 3.9-degree torque, mid-launch, mid-flex shaft consisting of titanium-reinforced X-4800 graphite. Designed in consultation with noted teaching professional Jim McLean, the shaft is becoming one of the most used on Tour. Harrison Striper J shaft has a soft tip and a firm butt. The integrated titanium filaments generate fast recovery. On the downswing, the shaft behaves like a crossbow pulled taught to release a strong kick action.

Harrison Sports shafts are all American made in the company's Pacoima, Calif., facility and crafted from the finest graphite and added materials. The innovative fiber additions add dynamic characteristics that can be matched to a player's swing to improve performance. All Harrison shafts are made to the same exacting specifications, whether in use by PGA professionals or every day golfers.
