TORONTO (April 12, 2010)--PGA European Tour rookie James Morrison emerged victorious by a single shot against fellow Nike Golf Athlete Oliver Fisher after an exciting head-to-head down the stretch at the Madeira Islands Open BPI- Portugal. Going into the final round as the overnight leader, Morrison was able to hold off the impressive seven-under-par charge of 65 posted by fellow Englishman Fisher by shooting his own two-under-par 70. Using a full bag of Nike Golf equipment, including the new Nike SQ MACHSPEED driver, Nike METHOD putter and Nike ONE Tour D ball, Morrison credited his victory to his second shot on the par-5 18th, which set him up for a birdie and the trophy. He called the downhill lie shot using his new Nike SQ MACHSPEED 15-degree 3-wood "the best shot of my career because it meant the most." This is Nike Golf's fIfth win globally, and fourth on the 2010 PGA European Tour.
