It’s US Open week! Check out PUMA Golf’s Limited Edition BiOFUSION TOUR shoe, worn this week by Jonas Blixt and Rickie Fowler (who has often called it “the best golf shoe I’ve ever worn”). Built for ultimate performance, comfort and style, the unique color of the LE version ($170) is PUMA Golf’s take on red, white and blue….also, can’t forget about COBRA Golf’s US Open staff bags our athletes will be using this week.
We will be hosting a contest, where the prizes will include a few pairs of this new LE shoe, along with three staff bags. Follow us on twitter (@cobragolf and @pumagolf) for details on how to win.
Now for the fun part – what they will be wearing. Here are the looks for Rickie Fowler, Jonas Blixt and Graham DeLaet. All are wearing apparel from PUMA Golf’s new Summer/Fall ‘14 collection which just hit stores on June 1. The collection features technologies that provide freedom of movement and help keep you cool, warm or dry depending on the weather – perfect fit for the warm, muggy weather this week in North Carolina.

Justin Leonard among qualifiers for U.S. Open on “longest day in golf”
COLUMBUS, Ohio – After three years of coming up short in qualifying, Justin Leonard earned a return to the U.S. Open.
The 1997 British Open champion, who has won 12 times on the PGA Tour but not since 2008, was among the 16 players at the Columbus site who qualified for the U.S. Open during what is known as “the longest day in golf” – sectional qualifiers at sites nationwide.
“It’ll be fun,” said Leonard, who’ll turn 42 on the day of the Open’s final round. “And Pinehurst is one of my favorites, so a little extra incentive there.”
Leonard was co-medalist through 36 holes on Monday at Brookside and Scioto. He tied for 15th at the Open in Pinehurst in 1999 when Payne Stewart won and tied for 23rd in the 2005 championship won by Michael Campbell.
