Crest Link – The official apparel of SMBC Singapore Open, star of the 2017 Asian Tour

January 25, 2017 – Thailand player Pryad Marksaeng received an early birthday present when he won the SMBC Singapore Open, held from January 19th to 22nd at the restart of the Asian Tour, played at the Serapong Course of Sentosa Golf Club. The excitement was high on the final day with a close finish settled by Pryad with a 67 in the fourth round, to win with -9, a shot less than his rivals.

Perhaps in Spain we were watching out for the debut of Sergio Garcia and Javi Colomo this year in the Tour, who finished in the 11T position – only four shots more than the winner – and 39T respectively. But then, seeing the picture of the tournament volunteers surrounding Pryad Marksaeng with his spectacular cup, we remember that the official clothing of the event is the Crest Link brand.

The Asian leader in golf apparel deployed all of its experience as sponsor of the event, dressing some 400 volunteers and a hundred staff officers of the organization with the soft, fresh fabrics of its polo shirts. The garments were also available to the public in the official merchandising tent. The most popular products were the polo shirts, in a variety of colour combinations, and the caps with the logo of the event.

In the days before the tournament, Crest Link ran a draw offering places to play the Pro-Am for the purchase of merchandise valued at 150 US Dollars, including a polo with the logo.

The Crest Link logo also stood out on the signs of several holes on the course. The SMBC Open in Singapore has been a great event for the presentation of the main novelties of its 2017 Collection, being visible to more than 20,000 spectators who come every year to enjoy the event.

CREST LINK, THE FUTURE IN APPAREL

The apparel of the Malaysian company is perfect for the South Asian golfers, as its clothing offers efficient moisture absorption and evaporation, it feels smooth and lighter than the traditional cotton golf fabrics, keeps golfers cool and dry at all times, gives protection against UV rays and reduces fatigue.

This is possible thanks to Crest Link technical fabric innovations such Micro-Dri, Micro-Dri A-Vent, Micro-Dri UV or Comp-Tech. All of these have been designed with the priority of putting golfers and their performance first, beyond anything else.

As an established brand for many years, Crest Link is increasing its global presence and the 2016 SMBC Singapore Open has been another perfect event for showing its leadership in the golf apparel market.
