It proved to be instant success for Druh Belts & Buckles as Sweden's Karlberg was sporting a prototype of Druh's new striped buckle for the first time on the fairways after acquiring the latest Druh buckle design at the Hong Kong Open just two weeks ago.
It was a grandstand finish in the US$1.25 million event on Sunday by Karlberg, who birdied the final two holes to close with a two-under-par 70 to secure his second Asian Tour title. The 24-year-old, who is on his rookie year on the Asian Tour, recorded his first victory earlier in the year at the SAIL Open, also played at the Delhi Golf Club.
"This is my biggest win and it feels just amazing," said Karlberg, who signed off for a four round total of 277, 11-under-par, for the week to win almost US $200,000 in prize money.
Regarded on tour as a snappy dresser like many of his fellow Swedes, Karlberg is one of just four golfers from a long list of Asian Tour players who have been chosen for their fashion sense on the fairways to compete for the title of 'Best Dressed Golfer on the Asian Tour' for 2010.
Other Druh champions in 2010 include Denmark's Thomas Bjorn won the Golf Estoril Open de Portugal in June, Sophie Gustafson secured the Ladies Irish Open in August, England's Gary Wolstenholme recorded a wire-to-wire victory in September at the Casa Serena Open and South Korean Jimin Kang took the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia title in October.
Little surprise then that Druh is known as the 'Choice of Champions'.
The striped Druh buckle worn by Karlberg in India was only showcased in Hong Kong for the first time as a possible new design in the hugely-popular stylish handmade leather and snakeskin belt range. However the overwhelming response that the new striped buckles in a variety of colour combinations received means that a new range of striped buckles will go in to production early next year.
Druh Belts & Buckles offer the discerning golfer belts in sumptuous classic and chic casual styles and have quickly become the golf professionals' style secret. The Druh leather belt range is handmade in ten water snakeskins, ranging from turquoise to pink and 15 leathers in different embossed styles, from crocodile to ostrich effect. Each belt purchased comes with your choice of Druh buckle and a standard Druh buckle that is easily interchangeable. The buckles are produced in brushed nickel, polished silver or gold with some featuring diamante and enamel inserts.
Druh Belts & Buckles allow golfers to design their own unique belt by choosing their own belt and interchangeable buckle combination.
