McDowell's win huge for Stuburt

A lesser-known golf shoes brand got a huge boost with Graeme McDowell's U.S. Open win. McDowell strode to victory in shoes made by England-based Stuburt, a company founded in 1860 but now truly on the golf map.

Stuburt's stable of pros includes McDowell's fellow Northern Irishmen Darren Clarke and Gareth Maybin, England's David Howell and prominent female pro Trish Johnson. Over the years, Stuburt has also made shoes for soccer, yachting and ice skating.

Note: We incorrectly reported on June 7 that McDowell wore FootJoys in his win at the Wales Open; Stuburt was his choice.
