Colantotte STAFFERS RORY MClILROY AND RYO ISHIKAWA
CAPTURE THIRD PLACE FINISHES
OSAKA, JAPAN – April 18, 2011 – Arc Quest, manufacturer of award winning magnetic and technology, announced today that Colantotte professional golf staff members Rory McIlroy and Ryo Ishikawa both are thriving and clinched Top-10 finishes at the on-set of the 2011 professional golf season.
McIlroy put his Master’s experience behind him and proved to the world he is resilient, talented and determined. At the Maybank Malaysian his stellar ball striking resulted in an impressive third place finish. Colantotte staffer Ryo Ishikawa, the Japanese superstar, was in contention for the Token Homemate Cup title up to the last day. His 5-Under par 279 placed him two strokes out of the winners circle but firmly in third place. Ishikawa, who recently announced his philanthropic commitment to his home country of Japan, will be dedicating his 2011 earnings to help victims of the earthquake and tsunami disaster.
According to Arc Quest CEO Katsumi Komatsu, “Colantotte takes great pride in Rory & Ryo’s performance over the weekend. They both prove continue to show the world the exciting youth movement in golf.”
McIlroy proved his talent and resiliency last weekend in Kuala Lumpur when he shot a 14-under 274 six strokes ahead of world number #1 Martin Kaymer. He led the tournament through 54 holes. If he had birdied the finishing hole on Sunday he would have forced a playoff with the eventual winner Matteo Manassero.
“Rory is an exceptional young golfer but more importantly he is an exceptional young man.
Immediately following the Master’s tournament, Rory boarded a 30-hour flight to Malaysia to clinch a Top-3 win. We are so sincerely proud of his dedication and accomplishments. He is a true professional.”

These wristbands are manufactured with a silicone water resistant material and are available in 8 fashionably bold colors. They come in three different sizes; small 6.8”, medium 7.6” and large 8.4”.
