March 17, 2011: Ecco Golf Shoes signs LPGA Tour rookie Piller

LONDONDERRY, N.H. -- Danish brand Ecco has announced that LPGA Tour rookie Gerina Piller has joined its roster of elite staff players and will compete in the brand's new Golf Street and BIOM Golf models. Recently married to PGA Tour player Martin Piller, the former Gerina Mendoza earned full LPGA Tour status via a fifth-place finish on the 2010 Futures Tour money list.

During her collegiate career at the University of Texas-El Paso, Piller was Conference USA Champion and Player of the Year in 2007, and she became more widely known after appearing on the Golf Channel's Big Break Prince Edward Island.

BIOM Golf, the first natural motion golf shoe, features a patented design that takes advantage of the foot's system for absorbing impact while bringing players closer to the ground for unmatched feel and traction. The only true hybrid sport-casual shoe, Golf Street's fashion leather types, subtle detailing and unique, super-gripping outsole make it a bright, funky and fun option for use both on and off the course.

Ecco golf shoes are also worn in competition by other tour players such as Fred Couples, Graeme McDowell, Thomas Bjorn, Aaron Baddeley, Stuart Appleby, Thongchai Jaidee and Jennifer Johnson.
