Wiebe Brings Natalie Back To Winner?s Circle
DENVER, April 7, 2008 – Mark Wiebe grabbed the lead on Friday and never looked back, cruising to a wire-to-wire victory at the inaugural Cap Cana Championship at Punta Espada Golf Club in the Dominican Republic. Wiebe used the YES! Golf Natalie belly putter. The win was Wiebe’s second on the Champions Tour in 12 career starts. He also won his debut event last fall at the SAS Championship.
“It is great to see Mark win again on the Champions Tour,” said Francis Ricci, President and CEO, YES! Golf. “He has been using our C-Groove Natalie belly putter for the past three years and really likes the roll he gets off the putter face. We are seeing an increase in demand for belly and long putters and currently offer five models including our newest one, a heel-shafted Victoria II.”
The Natalie putter used by Wiebe is a center shafted, face balanced mallet putter. The large 304 soft stainless steel head is designed for maximum forgiveness and features a long sight line for easy alignment. The putter currently is available in both right and left handed in regular, belly and long.
Wiebe rolled in 13 birdies with his Natalie putter. His win was worth $300,000 and 300 Charles Schwab Cup points putting him in the top 10.
