This past weekend at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, NC, Joohyung Kim took home the trophy thanks to a blistering final round 61. To help him achieve this incredible feat, Kim used a Traxion Tour 2.0 putter grip. Of the top thirteen finishers of the tournament, ten of the players used either SuperStroke putter grips or S-Tech club grips.
This was Kim’s first ever win on the PGA Tour. He finished at 20-under-par, beating runners up John Huh and Sungjae Im by five strokes as shown on the PGA Tour Facebook.
“The whole SuperStroke team is extending a big congratulations to Mr. Kim on his exciting win. In addition, we also couldn’t be more proud that ten of the top players also chose to play with SuperStroke golf grips,” shared Dean Dingman, CEO of SuperStroke.
In addition to this first win on the PGA Tour, Kim has won twice on the Asian Tour and twice on the Korean Tour. The son of a professional golfer, he made his debut in professional golf in 2018 on the Philippine Golf Tour.
Kim recently finished T47 at the Open Championship and 7th in the Rocket Mortgage Classic. With this win at the Wyndham Championship, Kim is eligible to play in the 2022 FedEx Cup Playoffs.
The SuperStroke putter grip Kim used in his victory was the Traxion Tour 2.0. This is one of the top performing grips on Tour, used by several Tour players. This grip incorporates two key pieces of SuperStroke technology: Traxion Control and Spyne Technology. The Traxion Control offers surface texture for a satisfying tacky feel while the Spyne Technology’s embossed ridge helps players find the proper hand positioning every time.
SuperStroke is the number one putter grip used on Tour, and backed by Tour professionals. From players like Jordan Spieth and Patrick Cantlay, to world-renowned putting coach and expert Phil Kenyon. What distinguishes SuperStroke is the wide variety of grips developed especially for different players depending on putting grip style, preferences in feel as well as grip size. For a player looking to find that personalized feel that goes perfectly with their game, there’s SuperStroke.
