ORANGE COUNTY, CA. – APRIL 27, 2024 – PROTOCONCEPT Golf, a luxury Japanese golf club designer and manufacturer, congratulates staff professional Ryan Cornfield for shooting an impressive 65, (5-under), at the Welcombe Golf Club, located in Strafford upon Avon Golf Club, to take the Welcombe Hotel title.

"The PROTOCONCEPT Golf team is incredibly proud of how Ryan played," said Marcy Kamoda, CEO of PROTOCONCEPT Golf. "We congratulate him on this imposing victory and thank him for trusting us with his golf equipment. His PROTOCONCEPT Golf clubs were masterfully crafted by legendary club builder Rusty Estes which played a pivotal role in his success."

"I am very pleased with how well I played and to get an early season win is big," said Cornfield. "Hopefully, I can build on this and get some momentum going into the summer.”

Cornfield played an assortment of PROTOCONCEPT Golf Irons to capture the first Golfing Days Pro-Am Golf Tournament of the season which included the C01.5TH #3, C03TC #4, C01TBic #5 through pitching wedge.

The new C01.5TH forged hybrid irons feature a hollow body with a dynamic face that generates immense ball speeds to carry the ball farther. The center of gravity is strategically positioned to promote playability with a controlled ball flight and is easy to launch. Cornfield played the #3 forged hybrid iron.

He also played the PROTOCONCEPT C03TC #4 forged iron to navigate the Welcombe Golf Club. This customized forged iron provides a pure and crisp feel at impact due to the ultra-precise soft forging and CNC machining. The undercut shape features a lower center of gravity and expanded sweet spot.

The C01TBic is a flagship PROTOCONCEPT Golf iron which is the world’s first integrated forging with ceramic. The ceramic is built from the center of the head to the heel and possesses a unique design that stabilizes the head movement together with forgiveness. They are offered in a #5 through pitching wedge and Cornfield played each of these irons.

PROTOCONCEPT Golf produces golf equipment that feature classic, artistic, and timeless designs which feature premium materials and are finished with the highest level of craftsmanship possible. Their TOUR inspired line of golf equipment helps golfers to improve at any level.
