Wiesberger seals winning partnership with Druh at Indonesian Masters

Bernd Wiesberger celebrated becoming an official Druh brand ambassador by clinching a dramatic win in the Indonesian Masters on Sunday.

The 27-year-old shot a final round five-under- par 67 over the Royale Jakarta Golf Club to overhaul the current British Open Champion, Ernie Els, by one shot. Was his Druh Negative Ion Bracelet anything to do with his performance?

Wiesberger took to Twitter to tell us what he thought: ‘Very happy to have my @druhbelts bracelets back on my wrists! Made an immediate impact on the course! Thanks Hurdy! #67 #birdies’ he tweeted via @BWiesberger.

Having earned his European Tour card in 2009, the Austrian recorded his first major title in the 2012 Ballantine’s Championship in Korea. Wiesberger, who had just taken to wearing a Druh Negative Ion Bracelet at the time, set the course record twice in the tournament and ran away with the championship by a massive five strokes. Significantly for Wiesberger, the win moved him into the top 100 of the Official World Golf Ranking.

Born in Vienna, Wiesberger then went on to secure his second title of the year on The European Tour at the Lyoness Open just three months later on home turf, again wearing a Druh bracelet.

Congratulations to Dawie Van Der Walt for his big win!

We’re celebrating Dawie Van Der Walt’s biggest win of his career following the South African’s victory on Sunday (March 3) at The European Tour’s Tshwane Open in South Africa.

The 30-year-old Van Der Walt, who wears Druh Belts when playing golf, claimed the top spot ahead of compatriots Darren Fichardt and Louis De Jager courtesy of a final round 67 for a winning total of 21 under par.

“Golf is a game where you don’t get a lot of chances to win, and to do it is fantastic,” said Van Der Walt who had only previously secured victories as a pro on the satellite tours in America.

Over the years, Druh has enjoyed tournament victories around the world by pros who prefer Druh’s distinctive belts over any other brands and as a result Druh is the number one belt on tour and recognised as the ‘Choice of Champions’.

Druh’s exclusive range of stylish leather and snakeskin belts, available in a variety of embossed styles, are worn by Druh ambassador and multiple champion, Lee Westwood as well as tournament winners Thomas Bjorn of Denmark, top Thai Thongchai Jaidee and Irishman Paul McGinley, the captain of the European Team for the 2014 Ryder Cup.

Druh Belts & Buckles has joined the chorus of approval from the world of golf and sent its hearty congratulations to Paul McGinley following his recent appointment as captain of the European Team for the 2014 Ryder Cup.

Druh is particularly delighted with the Irishman’s new role as the 46-year-old is one of the belt company’s most high-profile and long-standing brand ambassadors.

“The team at Druh joins me in sending Paul McGinley our most heart-felt congratulations on his appointment as the European Captain for the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles in 2014,” commented Simon Hurd, founder of Druh Belts & Buckles, who has known Paul since his playing days on the European and Asian Tours.

“Paul is a popular player on tour and has proved himself to be an excellent leader both on and off the course through his involvement in the Ryder Cup as a vice captain and in the Seve Trophy as captain, making him the right choice for captain at the next Ryder Cup.”

Druh Belts & Buckles was the Official Licensee of belts and buckles for the 39th Ryder Cup that took place at Medinah last year when Europe stunned the US by pulling off a remarkable victory on the final day of competition. Druh is proud that the licensee agreement has been extended to 2014.
