After last weeks wet and windy conditions, the players were greeted
by more wind at Wentworth, (the venue for the BMW PGA Championship) and
the odd shower, so the rainwear was back on for the practice days.
Titleist and FootJoy staff player, Martin Erlandsson could be seen
wearing the FootJoy Sport rainshirt in orange, whilst past winner of
this tournament, Anders Hansen wore a short sleeve version in white and
orange. Fingers crossed the sun will come out for the tournament days!
FootJoy shoe wearer Lee Westwood will be looking to challenge this
week along with Henrik Stenson who is fresh from his victory at the
Players Championship. Henrik was wearing the new FootJoy SYNR-G shoe
whilst Lee could be seen sporting a pair of Custom Classics. Stenson
also collected a special pair of custom SYNR-G shoes for the week
ahead. Another player back on home soil for the week is FootJoy Classic
wearer Luke Donald.
FootJoy collar wearers David Horsey, Rafael Cabrera-Bello, Mark
Foster, Michael Hoey and Steve Webster are all in the field this week
and have all be working hard on the range during the practice days.
Rafael and Michael were in the new SYNR-G shoes whilst the other plays
put their trust and their feet in FootJoy Classics.
