Sanford, FL – RIFE continued its success on the PGA TOUR this past weekend with a victory at The Valero Texas Open, held at The TPC San Antonio in San Antonio, Texas.
The Australian born winner was on top of the leaderboard all week and despite some difficult conditions on Sunday managed to hold off a tough field of competitors to capture his first ever PGA TOUR victory.
This victory earned him a paycheck for $1,116,000.00 and catapulted him up 129 spots to #26 on the Official FedEx Cup Points List. He also earned a spot in the upcoming Masters Tournament set to be held in two weeks in Augusta, Georgia.
“Steven’s had that Antigua putter he won with for about three years now,” said RIFE’s PGA Tour Rep, Kyle Ulrikson, “and I’ve put together about a dozen other putters for him since then, but he keeps going back to old faithful! I’m just happy for him that it finally paid off this week.”
RIFE’s Antigua putter was so popular when it was first introduced that they decided to bring it back for 2014. The Iconic Two is a face balanced blade putter with a slant hosel, just like the Antigua, that is currently available in retailers across the nation.
RIFE captured another Top 10 Finish at the Valero Texas Open, as the T-6th Place Finisher used a Titan putter to shoot 283, just 3 strokes off the lead, and collect a paycheck for $200,725.00.
“The Tour Players play our putter because it helps them earn a bigger paycheck on Sunday,” said Kyle Ulrikson, PGA Tour Rep for RIFE, “and we’re very proud of that. Our RollGroove Technology grips and lifts the ball into an instant forward roll and gets it on line and headed towards the cup quicker than any other putter in the industry. If it’s good enough for the best golfers in the world, you can bet its going to help you sink more putts as well.”
About RIFE Golf
RIFE Golf is the true innovator behind horizontal grooved face putter technology with a patent on specifically sized grooves since 1997. These precisely spaced grooves allow the putter to gently press into the cover of the ball and grip and lift it into an instant forward roll. RIFE states, “just as grooves in irons help control spin so do grooves in a putter face.” Other companies are now trying to imitate this patented technology but the spacing of the grooves is the true key to the gripping and lifting effect of grooved face putter technology. Horizontal RollGrooveTM faced putters create the truest “no skid” roll in golf no matter where you hit the ball on the putter face.
