ITASCA, IL. – June 5, 2007 – Excel Golf Products, Inc., manufacturer of the Zero Friction Golf Tee, the "Winningest" high performance golf tee with 29 tour victories and now, over 180 Top-10 PGA Tour finishes, announced today that a Zero Friction Golf Tee loyalist scored a 63 on the fourth round of the Memorial Tournament presented by Morgan Stanley and made history.
Muirfield Village Golf Club relinquished some pretty low scores this past weekend but none as low as a 63. Veteran PGA Professional and past Memorial Tournament champion ignited the field with his aggressive play and persistence on the final round. Using a Zero Friction Biodegradable Golf Tee, he missed only two fairways keeping himself in great scoring position. On the par 4 sixth, he holed out from the fairway as the crowd roared. His final round play placed him in the Memorial Tournament historical books as the lowest fourth round score ever played on the tough Muirfield Village.
"This type of play is astounding. To be nine shots behind the 54-hole leader and finish the tournament in third place is remarkable and it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. He has been a supporter of the Zero Friction Golf Tee since its introduction. We’re thrilled for him and look forward to more outstanding golf," stated Bob White, Excel Golf Products Director of Sales.
Zero Friction Golf Tee’s tour success can be contributed to its simple but effective engineering. The Zero Fiction Biodegradable Golf Tee features a unique three-pronged design which reduces the contact area between the golf ball and the tee. This reduction produces longer and more accurate drives. In an independent laboratory Zero Friction Golf Tees were proven to be the longest and most accurate tees used on Tour.
The Memorial Tournament developed by Jack Nicklaus was founded to honor individuals living or deceased that have distinguished themselves in golf. Muirfield Village Golf Club was designed to host The Memorial and showcase the best golfers in the world. This year’s event provides testament to its legacy. Zero Friction Golf Tees and its parent company Excel Golf Products are honored to have been used during the prestigious tournament.
