RT TECHNOLOGIES IN BAG OF WINNER OF PGA NATIONWIDE TOUR “SOUTH GEORGIA CLASSIC” IN VALDOSTA, GEORGIA  Midas 88-Gram Iron and 98-Gram Hybrid Shafts Used for Winner’s 1st Tour Win  

 
Lake Charles, LA, April 27, 2009 – RT Technologies announced today that two of its shafts helped propel the champion of last weekend’s 2009 South Georgia Classis Nationwide Tour event, which took place at Kinderlou Forest Golf Club in Valdosta, GA, to a victory. The winner used an RT Midas 88-gram and 98-gram shaft in each of his hybrid clubs en route to the victory. The fourth place finisher used an 85 gram Zeus driver / fairway wood shaft on the way to his own top ten finish. RT Technologies shafts have earned 7 wins on PGA Tours over the past two full seasons, including one major championship. The tournament winner comes from South Africa and the victory was his first on any PGA Tour. 
 “All of us here at RT Technologies want to congratulate the champion on his first ever PGA Tour win of any kind,” RT Technologies President Robbie Newton began. “We’ve been close to a couple of wins this year so we are glad it finally happened. Our Midas series shafts are probably the most used out on the Tours and they really do provide tremendous accuracy and stability. Control is so important with a hybrid or long iron and the Midas shafts really do the trick. It’s my understanding that the winner used both an 88 gram Midas and a 98 gram Midas, which makes it clear that either version can perform under the most strenuous of conditions. We are so happy for the winner and, as always, are very appreciative of all players out on the PGA Nationwide Tour who use our products.”      RT Technologies Tour Wins 1 Major Championship 8 Championships   About RT Technologies RT Technologies golf shafts have earned the respect of pros on every PGA Tour Worldwide.
