MARLBOROUGH, Mass. -- Champ Spikes, the #1 Brand on Tour, captured its 4th straight EUPGA Tour victory with its win at the Mercedes-Benz Championship in Cologne, Germany.

With assistance from Champ's metal Cermec Spike, the champion held his ground down the stretch for a 13-under, 2-stroke victory over his nearest competitor. The victory is the Swede's first win in two years.

Along with this weekend's champion, nine of the top ten finishers could be seen wearing Champ's Scorpion Stinger Spikes, Champ's traditional metal Cermec Spikes, or the ProStinger, which is the industry's only hybrid spike.

With this victory, Champ holds 25 of 39 wins on the PGA Tour, 21 of 31 on the EUPGA Tour, 14 of 26 on the LPGA Tour, and 100% of the wins on the Duramed Futures Tour.

"It is so exciting to see such a wide range of our products being used by some of the world's best players," said Harris MacNeill, President of Champ. "We make spikes to fit any shoe and for use on any course, in any condition. Holding nine out of this week's top ten spots is extremely rewarding and a testament to our company's products."
