DANNY WILLET WINS BMW PGA CHAMPIONSHIP — NS PRO 950 NEO NOW AVAILABLE 

England’s Danny Willett has won the PGA Championship by three shots after a five-under-par 67 on the final day at Wentworth.

Willett began the day tied for the lead with Spain’s Jon Rahm, who shot 70 to finish second, with South Africa’s Christiaan Bezuidenhout third.

It is the 31-year-old’s biggest win since the 2016 US Masters and the seventh of his career.

Justin Rose was eighth after a 72, one place ahead of Rory McIlroy.

“This has been a fairytale week for me,” said Willett. “To win on home soil really has been amazing for me.

“This course produces fantastic winners and it’s an honour and a privilege to put my name alongside theirs.”

NS PRO 950 NEO NOW AVAILABLE

Nippon have announced their new addition to the tour-winning NS PRO line, the 950 NEO. With the same light feeling as the 950GH steel shafts, the 950 NEO has been created to cater for larger iron head designs with strong lofts and lower center of gravities (CG) that have grown in popularity over the last 20 years.

While inheriting the superb handling and directional accuracy of the 950GH , NEO better matches today’s iron heads with rigidity  characteristics refined by patented processes from Nippon’s NS Pro Modus 3 line: Multi Heat Treatment Technology (MHT) and Multi Shape Adjustment Technology (MSA).

• An extension of the world’s first sub-100g constant weight steel iron shafts, the best-selling and most successful lightweight steel iron shafts in tour history, the NS Pro 950GH
• A slightly firmer tip section: 1° to 2° higher launch for mid/high trajectory
• Firmer mid section: stabilizes newer clubheads throughout the swing
• Softer grip section: smaller .600″ diameter (from .610″) enhances “NS” feel

The 950 Neo is in stock and available to order now from Diamond Golf
