Matt Wallace and Bubba Watson won on opposite sides of the Atlantic yesterday to set up a sensational double-win weekend for PING.
Wallace claimed his second European Tour title of the season at the BMW International Open at Golf Club Gut Laerchenhof.
The 28-year-old Englishman’s final round 65 was good enough for a one-shot victory over Martin Kaymer, Mikko Korhonen and Thorbjorn Olesen.

Wallace’s iron play was the key to his success. He topped the Greens in Regulation stats for the week, hitting 79.2% of greens for the four rounds. The Englishman currently has a mixed bag of PING irons in his bag, including an i200 3-iron, that he uses as a 2-iron, iBlades in his 6 to 9-irons and a new prototype iron for his 3, 4 and 5 irons.
