FootJoy player J.B. Holmes earned his second career PGA TOUR victory by capturing the FBR Open for the second time in three years. The victory came with a birdie on the first hole of a sudden death playoff. Holmes birdied the 18th hole twice in a matter of minutes, first with a 13-foot putt to force the playoff, then with an 8-footer after a monster 359-yard drive in sudden death.
J.B. split time this week in a few different shoe styles. During the middle rounds, he laced up new DryJoys, which provided maximum "FLEXTABILITY" during his scorching 65-66 rounds in the not-so-scorching Arizona desert.
Since attending college at the University of Kentucky, J.B. has worn an FJ RainGrip glove for maximum moisture management despite the conditions.
FootJoy was the shoe of choice for more players at this week's FBR Open. 64% of the field laced up a pair of FootJoy shoes in the desert (nearest competitor 17%).
