-Cornfield locked in his second professional golf tournament playing PROTOCONCEPT GOLF-

ORANGE COUNTY, CA. – MAY 31, 2024 – PROTOCONCEPT GOLF, a luxury Japanese golf club designer and manufacturer, is proud to announce that company golf professional Ryan Cornfield took home the Clutch Pro's Q Hotel Championship at Forest Pines title.

Cornfield shot a 206 13-under playing PROTOCONCEPT Irons to hoist his second trophy of the year.

Each iron played this week was masterfully crafted by legendary club builder Rusty Estes and is stamped in his honor with #rstampforever.

"Ryan is playing target golf. It's thrilling to watch. His irons provide him the freedom to be aggressive and go for it," said Marcy Kamoda, CEO of PROTOCONCEPT GOLF. "Keep the momentum going, Ryan! Again, we thank him for trusting the PROTOCONCEPT GOLF team with his golf equipment and congratulate him on his second victory of the 2024 golf season."

Cornfield relies on his PROTOCONCEPT GOLF irons for precision and accuracy. He plays the C01.5TH forged hybrid iron #3, C03TC forged iron #4, and the C01TBic #5 through pitching wedge.

The new C01.5TH forged hybrid irons feature a hollow-body and Tour-inspired head with a dynamic, strong, and responsive SAE8655 steel face. Cornfield utilizes this specialty #3 iron for increased distance, performance, and power. The newly refined sole provides remarkable forgiveness and accuracy.

Another iron in Cornfield's arsenal is the PROTOCONCEPT C03TC #4 forged iron which provides him maneuverability, essential for advanced golfers. This means the club is easy to control and manage during swings. While ensuring him maneuverability, the design also enhances head movement stability which helps align the sweet spot for consistent ball striking.

Also, in Cornfield's golf bag at Forest Pines was the C01TBic inner ceramic irons #5 through pitching wedge. The world's first integrated forging with ceramic. This highly specialized ceramic material provides forgiveness and allows for a more precise Center of Gravity (CG) placement. By strategically positioning the ceramics, engineers achieved stability and performance.
