BRANDT iHammer Sponsors Golfer Ethan Tracy for One-Tournament Deal
Springfield, Illinois (June 2, 2016) – BRANDT iHammer has teamed up with Columbus native Ethan Tracy for the Memorial Tournament.
“iHammer is thrilled to have Ethan as part of its winning team” said Mike McBride, President of BRANDT iHammer. “Ethan is a great competitor on the golf course and his humbling background makes it very clear where his drive comes from. As a Columbus company, we’re proud to support such a talented local young man.”
Tracy has found success amongst some of the best in his sport. His journey started at Hilliard High school (Ohio) and led to his All-SEC/American career at the University of Arkansas. While playing at Arkansas, Ethan won the prestigious Western Amateur, defeating PGA Tour regulars Derek Ernst, Jordan Spieth and Patrick Cantlay. The win not only made him more known, but also placed his name alongside golf legends such as Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson as a Western Amateur winner.
“Like iHammer, Ethan is always trying to improve his game,” said McBride. “We are developing cutting-edge products for golf turf, agricultural crops and ornamental markets. This sponsorship will help get our name out into the market.”
