31/03/2010

Fred Couples won his third straight event on the 50-and-over men’s tour on March 28 with a two-stroke victory over Corey Pavin in the Cap Cana Championship, which took place in the Dominican Republic. Mr Couples shot a course-record 10-under-par 62 on the final day.

During the tournament, he wore Ecco headwear and played all three rounds in the Danish shoemaker’s Golf Street shoe. Designed to be worn both on and off the course, the shoe features full-grain leather uppers, a sleek PU midsole and pre-moulded traction bars for better traction, stability and comfort.

"No one has ever designed a shoe like this and Fred's win validates its performance at the game's highest levels," says Jesper Thuen, sponsor and event manager, Ecco Golf. "Golf Street is unique in that it grips in all conditions and can be worn throughout the day. The response from Tour players, celebrities and discerning consumers has just been phenomenal."
