Winner of the 2008 PGA Nationwide Tour Bank of America Open Also Earned His First Victory Using Three Scratch Golf Wedges
Eugene, OR, June 6, 2008 – Scratch Golf (www.scratchgolf.com) congratulates the winner of last weekend’s 2008 PGA Nationwide Tour event. Scratch has confirmed that this champion used three Scratch wedges to capture his first ever PGA Tour victory at the Nationwide Tour’s Bank of America Open, which was held at The Glen Club in Glenview, Illinois. The win was Scratch Golf’s first PGA Tour victory, as well. Scratch Golf wedges were the # 1 Forged Wedge on the Nationwide Tour over the last three months of the 2007 golf season. Scratch wedges have continued their success on the Nationwide in 2008, earning several top tens in the process. Scratch wedges are seeing more PGA Tour action in 2008 than in any other previous year.
“Congratulations to the winner of the 2008 BofA open,” Scratch Golf CEO Ari Techner began. “There are so many great players that have used our wedges and irons on Tour and we are very proud whenever any of these guys use our stuff. We are, of course, elated that we have earned our first PGA Tour win and we are confident that this breakthrough will be the first of many to come. I have to say that it was the thrill of a lifetime to watch the winner stick that final Scratch wedge shot on the 18th to within eight feet to seal the victory. From all of us at Scratch, congratulations to the winner of the 2008 Bank of America Open and thanks to all of the great tour players that use Scratch Golf wedges.”
