Singh’s Playoff Win at Castle Stuart Continues Hot Streak for Odyssey Putters on the World’s Tours
CARLSBAD, Calif., July 16, 2012 – Odyssey, the #1 Putter in Golf, announces that staff professional Jeev Milkha Singh used an Odyssey ProType® Tour Series #7 putter during his Scottish Open victory in Inverness, Scotland on Sunday. The win marked the fourth European Tour victory of Singh’s professional career, and the fourteenth victory for Odyssey putters on the European Tour this season. The nearest competing putter brand has just three wins. Remarkably, Odyssey putters have been in the hands of eight of the last 11 European Tour event winners, dating back to the Madeira Islands Open in Portugal on May 13. The #1 Putter in Golf has now claimed 12 total worldwide wins over the last nine weeks, and 25 overall wins this season.
A native of Chandigarh, India, Singh claimed the Scottish Open title in dramatic fashion, birdieing the first extra hole of the playoff on a clutch, 15-foot putt as the wind and cold gripped Castle Stuart Golf Links. Singh’s solid putting played a pivotal role throughout the tournament as he carded a 66-70-68-67 (271) to earn the win.
“Jeev’s performance and eventual victory in the tough Scotland conditions with his ProType Tour Series #7 putter marks another great win for Odyssey,” said Chris Koske, Global Business Director for Odyssey Golf. “With the wins piling up week after week, Odyssey continues to validate its position as #1 on Tour, #1 in wins and #1 when it counts most.”
Odyssey putters have been put in play 1,496 times on the European Tour this season, accounting for more than 44 percent of player usage on that Tour-more than double that of the nearest competitor. This week at the Scottish Open, Odyssey led the putter count with 39.7 percent of putters in the field.
