NEW BEDFORD, Mass., March 25, 2008- AHEAD tour staff members Retief Goosen and Jim Furyk seem to be getting their games in shape just in time for the first major of the season- Masters.  Both players finished T-2^nd last week at the World Golf Championships-CA at Doral Golf Resort and Spa on Monday.  The tournament, which was hampered by storms all weekend, had an unusual Monday finish.  Goosen and Fuyrk each fired a final round 68, leaving them one shot behind the winner at 16-under-par.  Goosen’s second place finish was his first top-ten since the 2007 Masters and Furyk’s was his second top-ten of the year.

At the World Golf Championships-CA, Goosen sported the new 2008 collection of AHEAD Hybridwear and CoolMax® performance apparel. The hybridwear polo collection features a cotton/poly blend whose performance properties are enhanced with raglan sleeves and a mesh back. The CoolMax® line is AHEAD’s most technology advanced apparel designed to keep golfers cooler by wicking moisture away from the body faster than other fibers. Goosen, known as one of the best-dressed players on tour, color coordinates his AHEAD Extreme headwear with his shirt.

Furyk, who is on the company’s headwear staff, also wore the AHEAD Extreme cap.  The Extreme Fit collection features an extensive line of unstructured caps made from Vintage twill fabric. The fit is designed for golfers with an average to shallow shape head and uses a Velcro tab for closure and to adjust the fit.

At the Masters in two weeks, Goosen will be sporting new styles from the AHEAD Hybridwear and CoolMax® performance apparel collection with matching solid headwear.  Golf Fitness Magazine recently named AHEAD’s Hybridwear line as the No. 1 Hybrid golf performance shirt for 2008.
