PGA Tour rookie Bubba Dickerson earns career-best finish at Buick Championship
PLANO, TEXAS, July 3, 2006 – Adams Golf Tour Staff Pro Dana Quigley fired a course record 63 en route to a 3-shot victory at the Greater Kansas City Golf Classic. Quigley became the third Adams Tour Staff member to claim victory in 2006, joining Morris Hatalsky and Jerry Pate.
Quigley’s bag included a 9.5-degree RPM Dual Driver, a 3 and 5 RPM Low Profile Fairway Wood, four Idea Hybrids with lofts of 18, 20, 24 and 30 degrees. He also used a Puglielli wedge and a prototype lob wedge designed by Adams Tour Staff Pro D.A. Weibring and Adams Golf engineers.
"I can’t think of a better week at all the Tour stops for Adams Golf, and I’ve been with the company since the beginning," said Max Puglielli, Adams Golf Director of Tour Operations. "Along with Dana’s fantastic performance at the Kansas City event, PGA Tour rookie Bubba Dickerson had a career-best fifth place finish at the Buick Championship in Connecticut. Several more top performers carried our clubs in their bags on the PGA, Champions and Nationwide Tours this week adding to some incredible numbers in each of the equipment counts."
