Nike Golf Athlete Simon Dyson Prevails in Killarney With a Victory at The Irish Open

BEAVERTON, OR (August 1, 2011) – Nike Golf Athlete Simon Dyson sealed his fifth career win at the Irish Open in a thrilling final round, posting a four under par 67 to clinch the title by one shot.  Dyson called his play at the Irish Open, “probably the best golf I’ve ever played.”

 

Playing consistent golf throughout the week, Dyson utilized his full bag of Nike Golf arsenal, including the precision of his VR Pro Combo irons and VR Pro wedges.  Dyson attributed much of his success to his laser like iron shots with his VR Pro Combo irons to beat an impressive field.  Sporting Nike Dri-FIT apparel, Dyson wore styles from the European tech and border Nike Golf collections.  Providing both style and performance, he also wore the tour-proven Nike Lunar Control shoe.

 

This victory is Dyson’s first win in 2011 and concludes a great month of golf for the Englishman, coming off a ninth place finish at The Open Championship.  This win moves Dyson into the top 50 in the official world golf rankings and secures him a place in the field at this week’s WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.
