Garsen Putter Grips Caps off the Year with 61st Tour Win

Trailing by two shots entering the 72nd hole, Matt Ryan drained an eagle putt to claim a 4 shot victory at the PGA Tour LA Chile Open while using a Garsen Ultimate putter grip. The champion has now claimed 2 PGA Tour LA wins this year using a Garsen grip. Adding to the recent PGA Tour LA Argentina Open victory, this now totals 61 tour wins for Garsen.

The larger size, half-rounded, half hexagon design of the Garsen Ultimate gives the player multiple flat surfaces on the front of the grip and a rounded bottom to allow the fingers to cradle the bottom.
