Mississippi native uses SuperStroke Pistol Tour putter grip for maiden win

(Wixom, MI) – SuperStroke, the No. 1 Putter Grip in golf and the leader in innovative Tour-proven golf grip technology, congratulates fourth-year PGA Tour veteran Davis Riley on his first career victory at The Zurich Classic. Riley secured a two-year playing exemption on the PGA Tour with this win. Riley, along with his teammate in the two-man format, closed with five birdies on the back nine to card a 7-under-par 65, 30-under over the four rounds, and a two-stroke victory. Riley used a SuperStroke Pistol Tour putter grip to drop birdies all week, including a nervy, two-and-a-half-foot par save on the closing hole.

Riley’s thrilling birdie putt from off the green at the 17th hole, in alternate-shot play, gave his team the two-stroke cushion they would maintain with that clutch closing par on the water-lined 18th hole. SuperStroke brand ambassadors Patrick Cantlay and Sungjae Im gave a spirited chase at the Zurich, with Cantlay and his partner finishing tied for third and Im’s team placing sixth. Cantlay uses Superstroke’s  Flatso 1.0 putter grip, while Im games the 1.0PT.

Notably, nine players on teams who finished in the top 10 in the 2023 Zurich Classic field used a SuperStroke putter grip.

The brand’s No Taper Technology helps golfers minimize grip pressure and quiet their hands while the Spyne Technology on the underside of the grip makes it easier to square the face at impact and start more putts on-line.

“The entire SuperStroke team is thrilled to see Davis Riley secure his first-career victory using a SuperStroke Pistol Tour putter grip at the Zurich Classic against such a deep and talented field,” says SuperStroke CEO Dean Dingman. “Davis putted beautifully and made some great rolls down the stretch to race ahead of the packed leaderboard.
