September 4, 2014 – Danish company Ecco, a leading manufacturer of innovative footwear, confirms that Staff Player Fred Couples wore its award-winning BIOM Hybrid golf shoes featuring E-DTS outsole technology en route to winning the Shaw Charity Classic this past weekend at Canyon Meadows Golf & Country Club in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Showcasing the Ecco logo on his headwear, Couples shot a course-record, 9-under 61 on Sunday, highlighted by eagles at Nos. 11 and 18. That brought him from four-back starting the round into a tie for the lead at the end of regulation. He then claimed the title – his 11th career Champions Tour crown – with a tap-in birdie on the first playoff hole.

“To come back and win is a great feeling,” said Fred Couples. “I consider this to be a nice, tricky, tough little course and no bogeys is good.”

The 54-year-old opened the week with rounds of 68 and 66, and surged to the top of the leaderboard on his final nine. A chip in from the primary rough on the 18th earned him one of the day’s biggest ovations.

“Fred’s game is truly ageless,” says Jesper Thuen, Global Sponsorship, PR & Event Manager – Ecco Golf. “Whenever he tees it up, regardless of the competition, he’s a threat to go low and earn a victory.”

Like all Ecco shoes in the hybrid category the company pioneered, BIOM Hybrid is built atop the patented E-DTS outsole boasting approximately 100 moulded traction bars and 800 traction angles. Constructed from TPU – a highly durable, wear-resistant material – these elements provide superb, Tour-quality grip.

E-DTS sole combines with another patented innovation – Natural Motion technology – to provide the exceptional levels of comfort, stability and traction for which Ecco is renowned.
