Bart Bryant Wins Dick’s Sporting Goods Open with Exotics hybrid, 4th Win this season for Tour Edge on PGA Tour Champions
Tour Edge Exotics CBX staff player Bart Bryant won the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open Sunday on the PGA Tour Champions playing a 17-degree Exotics CBX hybrid with a UST Mamiya VST 85 shaft.
Bryant shot rounds of 65-65 over the weekend and finished the final hole with a 25-foot birdie putt to finish at 16-under par for the event.
“I played awfully well. I didn’t hit a bad shot today,” said Bryant. “I played conservatively, a little bit conservative coming in, but smart. It got the job done. Very pleased with the way everything went.”
In 13 events this season, Bryant has earned a victory, a runner-up finish, three Top 10 finishes and seven Top 25 finishes, all with an Exotics CBX hybrid in play.
Players using Exotics CBX metalwoods have earned four victories, eight runner-up finishes and 22 Top 5 finishes in 18 PGA Tour Champions events played this season.
Other winners this season include Exotics CBX hybrid staffers Scott McCarron at the American Family Insurance Championship June 24th, Tom Lehman at the Principal Charity June 10th and the non-endorsed winner of the 2018 Chubb Classic in February.
“We came into this season with 10 Exotics career wins on the PGA TOUR, pretty much a win every year over the last decade from top players on the big tour who found the performance benefits of Exotics on their own accord,” said Tour Edge President David Glod. “So far this year we’ve added another five wins to the pot, so this is definitely a banner year for Tour Edge on the professional tours. Almost every week we have been first or second on the PGA Tour Champions. The new tour strategy we’ve implemented is paying off big time in getting the Exotics name out there as the best of the best.”
Nine players on the Exotics staff and 35 additional non-endorsed PGA Tour Champions players have put Exotics into play this season.
Six Exotics staff players rank in the Top 30 of the Charles Schwab Cup money standings, including McCarron at 5th, Tim Petrovic at 8th, Lehman at 13th and Bryant at 15th. Bryant jumped from 33rd to 15th after earning $307,500 with the victory.
According to the Darrell Survey, 229 Exotics have been put into play this season, consistently ranking the CBX the #2 most played hybrid model on the 2018 PGA Tour Champions.
The PGA Tour Champions season continues August 24th with the Boeing Classic in Snoqualmie, Washington.
About Exotics CBX
Exotics CBX are the only metal woods ever designed to feature a Titanium face, stainless steel body and carbon fiber sole.
The Exotics CBX hybrid’s higher CG is located slightly forward in the club head through the use of a carbon fiber in the sole, which is significantly lighter than stainless steel. This helps
to increase ball speed and reduce spin, which makes for less dispersion. Tour Edge’s extremely thin Beta-titanium cup-face enlarges the ideal hitting area on the clubs.
It is brazed to stainless steel behind the hitting area which allows the face to flex more at impact, while the Speed Ramp sole design provides reduced turf interaction so the club can maintain its speed through the hitting area.
World-renowned golf website My Golf Spy recently named the Exotics CBX its “Most Wanted Fairway Wood of 2018”. In what is being described by the popular site as the most comprehensive and unbiased independent fairway wood test conducted in the world, My Golf Spy tested 24 different fairway woods over a hundred hours with almost 5,000 shots used to collect over 200,000 data points in order to name Exotics CBX the best fairway wood of 2018.
The Tour Edge Exotics CBX fairway woods, Exotics CBX hybrids and Exotics CBX Iron-Woods are currently available at select authorized Tour Edge retailers. To find a Tour Edge retailer near you, call (800) 515-3343 or visit touredge.com.
