    Lets not forget the shock of the tourney (other than Ramy playing with a white prince of some sort), The Colombian Cannonball playing with the old Carboflex 125! So in the previous year, Carboflex 125s….. Dynergy 125AP Signature and finally going back on the original Carboflex 125… Interesting.
