February 23, 2015 – Crest Link, the leading golf clothing brand in Asia, has shown its best as the European Tour touches down in Asia, -in the events commissioned with the Asian Tour-, with its logo displayed on the apparel of its sponsored players, such as S.S.P. Chowrasia, Arjun Atwal or Jason Palmer, and on the clothes of the tournament and golf shop staff.

The official apparel brand of the Spanish Open similarly dresses the Maybank Malaysian Open since earlier on, so in addition to equipping the staff of the organization and volunteers this year in Kuala Lumpur G & CC, it had a great layout in the shopping village where it set up a big stall. The eye-catching display of Crest Link shirts, pants, caps and accessories personalized with the logo of the event were so popular that 90% of the stock was sold.

On the course, the best performing golfer equipped by Crest Link is the Indian player S.S.P. Chowrasia, who managed to enter the Top 10 in the Malaysian Open, and last week achieved his best result of the year for the specialist microfiber clothing brand at the European Tour, finishing second in the 2015 Hero Indian Open.

Chowrasia, who holds two victories on the European Tour at the Indian Masters 2008 and Avantha Masters 2011, led the event after the first three rounds in Delhi Golf Club, with 65-67-69, but a bad last day took him to a 76 that was not enough to avoid the play-off against his compatriot Anirban Lahiri, who clinched his second title of the year after the Malaysian Open.

Even so, Crest Link has enjoyed the opportunity of displaying its colourful microfiber shirts through its ambassador S.S.P. Chowrasia for these four days to the global audience of this Indian Open.

Srixon – Anirban Lahiri wins Maybank Malaysian Open with Z STAR XV golf ball

Maybank-Malaysian-Open

February 10, 2015 – An infallible week of straight driving and clinical approach play, supplemented by a Srixon Z-STAR XV golf ball, secured Anirban Lahiri his debut European Tour win at last week’s Maybank Malaysian Open.

The statistics for the Kuala Lumpur-based tournament confirmed the Indian’s overall efficiency, with virtually no weakness highlighted.

The 27 year old Bangalore native, who came through Qualifying School just three months ago, was arrow straight off the tee and hit an impressive 71.2 per cent of the fairways – the 16th best in the field for that category. This statistic is made even more notable when you also consider Lahiri’s length from the tee box, which averaged a not inconsiderable 291.9 yards.

In his bag you will find the new Srixon Z Forged 725 irons and two Cleveland Golf wedges. As Lahiri swapped driver for irons, he became even more proficient and missed a remarkably small number of Greens in Regulation at Kuala Lumpur Golf Club. In fact the new World Number 37 only failed to find 23.6 per cent of the putting surfaces in regulation, a stat which rendered him sixth most successful in that area in Malaysia.

Once on the dance floor, Lahiri putted like a man possessed and averaged a fine 1.656 putts per GiR – tenth best in that category – and 28.5 putts per round.

From placing his Srixon Z-STAR XV golf ball on the tee peg to plucking it from the hole, Lahiri displayed the ruthless reliability of a deserving champion.

Here’s what was in Anirban Lahiri golf bag:

  • Driver: Callaway Golf Big Bertha V Series (10,5º)
  • Fairway Woods: Callaway Golf X2 Hot (3 and 5)
  • Hybrid: Adams DHY Pro tour (21º)
  • Irons: Srixon Z Forged 725 (3-9, PW)
  • Wedges: Cleveland Golf 588 (53º), and Cleveland Golf 588 RTX (60º)
  • Putter: Titleist SC GoLo M3
  • Golf ball: Srixon Z STAR XV
  • Footwear: FootJoy
