ITASCA, IL. – June 14, 2007- Excel Golf Products, manufacturer of the Zero Friction Golf Tee, the "Winningest" performance golf tee on the PGA Tour and of the Tocare Tour Grip, the first grip to feature a Vibration Diffusion Patternâ?¢, announced today that company staff player, Dean Wilson clinched his third Top-10 finish of the PGA Tour season.
With a Zero Friction Biodegradable on the tee box, Wilson shot a 79, 71, 66, and 68, a total of 275, tying him for fifth place with fellow American Brandt Snedeker at the Stanford St. Jude Championship this past weekend.
"I love the Zero Friction Golf Tees! I know that my drives go further and straighter because of them and they are biodegradable," states PGA Tour Professional, Dean Wilson.
As the season progresses Wilson’s golf continues to improve. This fifth place finish is his personal best of the 2007 PGA Tour Season and places him 56th on the money list with $864,359 in official earnings.
Wilson, a loyal Zero Friction Golf Tee player, used a Zero Friction Golf Tee during the entire four-day Stanford St. Jude Championship. He relied on the three-pronged tee for added distance and accuracy. As a golf professional, he understands that winning and losing in golf is sometimes a matter of inches or yards.
The Zero Friction Biodegradable with its unique patented tri-pronged design or three-pronged cup provides less resistance between the golf ball and the golf tee for longer, straighter drives. Its reduced spin rate fights dispersion, thereby keeping the ball on line and in the fairway.
"Dean is playing some pretty amazing golf. His third round of 66 on the TPC Southwind was genius. We are thrilled he is on the Zero Friction staff and look forward to more of his outstanding play at the US Open," states Bob White, Director of Sales at Excel Golf Products, Inc.
Last year, Wilson wrapped up his fourth season on the PGA Tour, with a win at The International in Castle Pines, and secured six Top-10 finishes, a career best. On the money list he was ranked twenty-second, with total earnings of $2,509,857.
A Zero Friction Golf Tee has been used to claim over 29 professional tour victories and over 181 Top-10 finishes. Because of its success the popularity for the Zero Friction Golf Tee continues to grow as does the product line.
