Nippon Shaft added another victory to its 2012 worldwide total at the Johor Open in Malaysia over the weekend. The Spanish champion used a set of Nippon Shaft steel shafts scheduled to go on sale this coming February: the N.S. PRO MODUS3 Tour 130.The winner – a member of the victorious 2012 European Ryder Cup team - shot an 11-under par 61 in the tournament’s third and final round to finish at 18-under par 198 and defeat his American runner-up by three shots at Horizon Hills golf club. The final round was washed out by rain.
It was the second tournament victory of the season for the 32-year-old, who has used Nippon Shaft in his irons since May this year. Earlier in the year, he won the Wyndham Championship, his first PGA TOUR victory since 2008.
