Poulter wins with white driver

Published:

Cobra staff player Ian Poulter secured his second win of the season at the Hong Kong Open and eagle-eyed gear enthusiasts will have noticed he did it with a white driver.

The Englishman was using Cobra’s new Limited Edition White ZL driver – which is a white version of the ZL driver he has been using to great effect since this time last year when he won the Barclays Singapore Open.

The driver is one of only 500 to be released worldwide and each will come with its own serial number. It will retail at £399 and comes with an all-white Fujikura Motore Speeder shaft as well as a white Golf Pride Tour Wrap 2G grip.

“My Cobra driver and irons have really helped me boost my game this year,” said Poulter. “I am especially impressed with the ZL Driver, this is my third win using it and the first using the all-white version. I like the visual of it, it’s really very cool. It’s unique and different than any driver I’ve seen – plus its performance is great, too. Just like the ZL Driver that I’ve used all year.”

Poulter’s score of 60 on the tournament’s second day included 10 birdies, tied the Tour’s 18-hole scoring record, and was one of Poulter’s personal best rounds. “I would rank it pretty high, to be honest,” he said. “I shot 61 in Italy in 2002 I think, so it’s my lowest round of golf to date. So I would have to rate it up there. I played great all week.”
