CALLAWAY'S PROS DOMINATE THE WEEKENDS PGA,
SENIOR PGA AND LPGA TOURS
FOR WEEK ENDED 27 APRIL 1999

 

Winning was the theme for the three Callaway Golf staff professionals this past weekend as they swept to victory in the tournaments played on the PGA Tour, Senior PGA Tour and the LPGA Tour. Staff Professionals Jesper Parnevik, Bruce Fleisher and Rachel Hetherington combined for the uncommon sweep of victories to highlight a huge weekend for Callaway Golf. And all three winners had their golf bags nearly full of Callaway Golf Clubs.

Parnevik, 34 led the Greater Greensboro Chrysler Classic from start to finish to capture his second PGA Tour victory. With a total of 12 Callaway clubs in his Callaway bag, Parnevik won by two strokes.

"The way I was hitting my irons, I felt like I could make birdies from just about any place", said Parnevik, who used a Callaway titanium driver, Big Bertha, Steelhead 5-wood and 9-wood and Big Bertha X-12 Irons to win the $468,000 first-place check. "I really had great distance control."

Rachel Hetherington's second LPGA Tour victory also featured some remarkable shotmaking. She birdied two of the final three holes and then birdied the first play of hole to capture the Chick-Fil-A Charity Championship at the Eagles' Landing Country Club Course at Stockbridge. Hetherington carried 12 Callaway clubs and an Odyssey putter in her Callaway bag.

"I was really pleased with the way I was able to come back on the final holes", said Hetherington, 27, who used a Callaway titanium driver, Big Bertha Steelhead 3-wood, 5-wood, 7-wood and 9-wood, Big Bertha X-12 Irons and an Odyssey TriForce 2 putter. "The way I finished the tournament gives me a lot of confidence".

Fleisher's dominance at the 1999 Senior PGA Tour continued in his third victory of the year at the Home Depot Invitational at the TPC at Piper Flen. He had 13 Callaway clubs in his bag: a Callaway titanium driver, Big Bertha Steelhead 4-wood and Big Bertha X-12 irons.

Callaway Golf are the number one brand in retail stores.
