Nike Athlete Suzann Pettersen Secures Playoff Victory

Pettersen wins with Nike’s new VR_S Covert driver

(BEAVERTON, Ore.) – Nike Athlete Suzann Pettersen, secured a playoff victory at the LPGA LOTTE Championship in Hawaii.

Pettersen won with 14 Nike clubs in the bag including the new VR_S Covert driver with the Nike FlexLoft adjustability system set at 10.5 N (Neutral). The stunning red driver features a cavity back design, distinctive and simple FlexLoft adjustability system, and NexCor face. Petterson’s victory is her second win this season using the innovative VR_S Covert driver.

Pettersen fired 26 birdies and produced an average of 26 putts per round using her Nike Method Putter. The Nike Method franchise features Nike’s polymetal groove technology, generating a faster forward roll at impact for increased accuracy.

Pettersen expressed about her play, “It felt like I executed four good rounds under par in very different conditions.  I've been feeling good with my putter, so I said to myself, ‘you know what, you might make a few errors but you're going to have plenty of opportunities to make birdies.’”

Pettersen also played with Nike’s new 20XI X ball featuring Nike’s RZN Core technology. This groundbreaking technology provides a lighter, faster and more responsive core than rubber core technology. RZN technology allows for less spin off the driver and more spin off the wedge, creating greater distance and control.

With her recent switch to the combination of the VR_S Covert and new 20XI X golf ball, Suzann has picked up an average of 18.5 yards off the tee since her last win at the Mission Hills World Ladies’ Golf Championship.

Pettersen wore Nike Golf Apparel from the Performance line and new footwear launching this fall.
