Project X Shafts Win British Open — Third Major Title of 2010
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — With one of the greatest driving performances in the history of Major Championship golf, Project X Graphite shafts delivered the resounding victory at the 2010 British Open Championship. The win locked up the third consecutive major title of the year for Project X shafts, which are now the preferred choice for the best golfers throughout the world.
This year’s Claret Jug winner played the new Project X graphite shaft in his driver and fairway woods to lead the field in driving accuracy with an astounding 86% of fairways hit and averaging more than 319 yards per drive. He shot a closing 71 on Sunday that gave him a seven-shot victory — only two strokes off from the largest victory margin in British Open history.
“To win your first major at St. Andrews is really outstanding, and we are excited that Project X graphite shafts could be a part of such a remarkable victory,” says Scott Hennessy, president and CEO of True Temper Sports. “The win at the British Open firmly cemented our new Project X shaft as the winningest graphite shaft of the 2010 PGA Tour, and proved it can deliver the unparalleled distance and accuracy needed to win a major.”
Project X shafts have a long history of winning on the professional tours and particularly at major events. Previously this year, Project X shafts delivered victories at the Masters Tournament and the U.S. Open.
The new Project X graphite shaft, designed and manufactured by True Temper, features a unique tapered design that maximizes a player’s distance, and a reinforced tip that reduces spin by up to 500 RPM more than other low-spin Tour model shafts. Project X graphite shafts are available in woods and hybrids.

True Temper Delivers Another Green Jacket

This year’s Masters champion earned his third Green Jacket and fourth major title, playing Project X shafts in his irons. He shot a 67-71-67-67 (272), including an incredible shot on the 13th hole, and moved into fourth-place in the FedExCup standings.
The victory at Augusta National was the 10th consecutive win at The Masters for shafts designed and manufactured by True Temper, and the 13th win during the 2010 PGA TOUR season. With 100 percent of the Top 10 money positions and 79 sets in play among the entire field, True Temper brands were clearly the shafts of choice at The Masters. Additionally, True Temper shafts were #2 in the overall wood shaft count this past weekend.
“The Masters is one of the game’s most revered tournaments so we are incredibly proud to have played a role in another victory at Augusta National,” says Chad Hall, director of product marketing and global tour operations for True Temper Sports. “To continue to be the preferred iron shaft among the world’s best players and now the number two choice for wood shafts is a huge endorsement for the designs True Temper brings to the game. Our engineers remain dedicated to providing golfers of all skill levels with shafts that provide maximum performance in accuracy, consistency and distance.”
So far this season, Project X and Rifle shafts have already collected an impressive list of wins, including the SBS Championship, Northern Trust Open, Moonah Classic, Honda Classic, World Golf Championships-CA Championship, Puerto Rico Open, Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Masters.
The success of Project X has been punctuated by this year’s introduction of the new Project X graphite shafts which accounted for three PGA Tour victories.

By combing this design platform with eight premium graphite materials, the Project X wood and hybrid shafts are quickly becoming known as the lowest spinning graphite shafts available. While Project X iron shafts remain a favorite among top tour players, Project X wood shafts also are gaining popularity with the biggest names in golf trusting Project X in their drivers.
