Watson Plays Two Idea Pro Hybrids En Route To Victory
PLANO, TEXAS, February 19, 2007 -Adams Golf Tour Staff Pro Tom Watson captured his ninth career Champions Tour title with a one-stroke victory at the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am in Lutz, Fla. With temperatures in the low 40s during the final round, Watson not only battled the competition but also the elements.
"I’ve never been this cold, even at the British Open," the five-time British Open Champion said. "I guess after all I’ve played in Florida it has just never been cold enough. It took Kansas City weather to make it happen."
This was Watson’s first-ever win in Florida after playing in 93 pro events. He finished at 4-under and earned $240,000. In his bag for his first victory in 2007 was a 9.5-degree Redline RPM Dual Driver, the new Insight BTY 3-Wood, 18 and 20-degree Idea Pro Hybrids, and the Idea Pro Forged Irons.
"We congratulate Tom on another terrific victory. He’s playing at a very high level right now," said Chip Brewer, Adams Golf CEO. "Tom stayed in the Top 10 for much of the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am two weeks ago, he had a Top 10 finish at the MasterCard Championship in Hawaii and won the Wendy’s Champions Skins Game to start the season. It’s been an outstanding start to 2007 for Tom and Adams Golf."
Along with Watson atop the leaderboard, three other Adams Golf Tour Staff Pros finished in the Top 10 at the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am; R.W. Eaks (T4), Scott Hoch (T7), and D.A. Weibring (T10).
