PILLA High Performance Eyewear Congratulates Joey Bolton,
Winner 2010 U.S. Open Sporting Clays Championship
Several Other Top Finishers Also Wore PILLA High Performance Eyewear
(Ridgefield, Ct; June XX, 2010) Twenty year old Joey Bolton, Houston, Texas native, wearing PILLA High Performance Eyewear's Dino frame, featuring cutting-edge materials with superior clarity and eye protection, captured his first U.S. Open Sporting Clays Championship in Tunica Mississippi with a superb score of 187.
"I would like to congratulate Joey on his first U.S. Open championship victory," said Philip Pilla, Chief Executive Officer of PILLA High Performance Eyewear. "Not only was this Joey’s first Open win, it was also one of the few times a junior shooter has won the Open. This just reinforces PILLA’s position of supporting young talent as a way of growing the sport. With all the great finishes at this year’s Open, a substantial and growing number of shooters have turned to PILLA performance eyewear for a distinct competitive advantage. Our Italian hand-crafted frames, coupled with our new HDX Anti-Reflective Lens technology, creates a visual advantage for shooters wearing PILLA glasses," stated Pilla.
“I’m very excited by my Open victory, especially since it came in such tough conditions,” said Bolton. “My PiILLA glasses proved to be the most valuable piece of equipment I had. Despite near record heat and humidity and the occasional shower, my PILLA glasses enabled me to perform at the top of my game. The combination of PILLA’s frame technology and light management gave me a definitive competitive advantage as I was able to stay focused, with a clear head, during the entire tournament,” stated Bolton.
"We are very excited about our entire line of PILLA High Performance Eyewear, which features more technological advancements than any other product in the industry," said Pilla. "Our various HDX lens technology automatically regulates the proper amount of light into the eye for maximum preservation of eye alertness. Because our glasses are designed for athletes by athletes, the performance gain of PILLA glasses is unmatched."
“Joey proved to be a worthy champion under difficult conditions,” said Michael Hampton Jr., Executive Director of the National Sporting Clays Association. “His victory showed how our sport has grown and I am proud that a junior has won the Open Main Event,” stated Hampton.
