SAN DIEGO — Where sensitivity meets strength, Lamkin putter grips delivered tour-winning feel and performance for this week’s champion, who drained a nine-foot eagle putt for a two-stroke victory at the Turtle Bay Championship in Hawaii. The win was the second consecutive victory for Lamkin grips, and the 50-year-old winner is the first Champions Tour player in more than five years to win the first two events of the season.
In other Tour news, Lamkin also won two Top Five money-positions at the Buick Invitational on the PGA Tour, including second-place with its Crossline series of high-performance grips.
