ATLANTA – December 7, 2006 The winner of the 3rd event of the Srixon PGA Tournament Series on Tuesday, December 5, 2006 at PGA Golf Club (Wanamaker Course), Port St. Lucie, FL played with Srixon’s Z-URC golf ball and won the
event by three strokes in very windy conditions. He fired a blistering first round of 65 followed by a 1-under par 71 for a 136 total.
Srixon’s revolutionary new Z-URC golf ball has several features that only a technology leader like Srixon could develop. It starts with the softest urethane-elastomer cover we’ve ever developed which delivers outstanding spin control on approach shots and around the green. At an astounding .02 inches thin, this unique cover provides for the largest and fastest Energetic Gradient Growth core Srixon has ever developed, meaning you don’t have to sacrifice distance to gain this control. Finally, the 330 dimple pattern of the Z-URC combines high trajectory with a penetrating ball flight
for stability in all cross winds and head winds.
The Srixon PGA Tournament Series is the winter series of 6, 2-day events contested over several challenging courses in South Florida. Fields are open to PGA Class A members as well as PGA Apprentices. The series helps these professionals keep their games sharp during the cold winter months as many of them hail from courses in the colder Northern and Midwestern climates.
