Callaway Apparel Ambassador Pablo Larrazabal Fought To The End To Win His Fifth European Title With A One-Shot Victory At The Alfred Dunhill Championship https://sgbonline.com/pressrelease/callaway-apparel-ambassador-pablo-larrazabal-fought-to-the-end-to-win-his-fifth-european-title-with-a-one-shot-victory-at-the-alfred-dunhill-championship/ Tue, 03 Dec 2019 17:07:38 +0000 https://sgbonline.com/?post_type=pressrelease&p=172642 Miami, FL, December 3, 2019 — An incredible back nine saw longstanding Callaway Apparel ambassador Pablo Larrazabal claim his first European Tour win since 2015 and fifth victory overall. Pablo’s victory represented the second European Tour win for
Callaway Apparel in 2019.

Pablo drew strength from his idol on the back nine to overcome some errant shots and bogeys midway through the final round where he also experienced severe blisters on his feet that made walking the fairways and swinging a club a struggle.

“I woke up this morning and I didn’t think I was going to play,” said Larrazabal. “I couldn’t put my shoe on, I couldn’t walk to the buggy. I really struggled on the back nine. I said to myself ‘If Tiger can win a US Open with a broken leg I can win with a blister.’ I just fought hard.”

Pablo wore a combination of 2019 summer and autumn polos at Leopard Creek, South Africa to keep cool and dry with temperatures soaring north of 100 degrees. Wearing his customary red polo on Sunday, Pablo completed a relentless display of ‘Spanish flair’ golf
over the back nine, to win by 1 shot with a birdie on the 18th hole.

“We congratulate Brendon on winning back-to-back events on the PGA TOUR, the first player to win consecutive events on TOUR since 2018,” said Brad King, CEO of STITCH Golf. “Getting up and down on the 72nd hole for the win secured the victory and propelled Todd to the top of the FedExCup standings. We look forward to partnering with Todd on what has already been a great 2019-2020 season.”

With over 120 PGA and LPGA professionals, including Major winners, using STITCH gear on tour, STITCH has confirmed itself as the leading provider of golf products for the world’s best golfers. The STITCH Tour Bag used by Brendon is a super-luxe recognizable bag featuring colors and details that represent the STITCH brand and features STITCH’s proprietary Touring Fabric that has the strength of leather but is more durable, lightweight and waterproof.

 

 

“This win is super special for me. This win means more to me than the last one being a full FedExCup Cup event and a full purse,” stated Todd. “It’s just amazing how fast this game can turn around. It turned fast in the wrong direction for me in 2015, it turned fast the other direction for me, so I’m enjoying it and just going to keep grinding.”
