Major hot streak for Tour Edge continues, 19 total Tour Edge Exotics clubs in play
Tour Edge Exotics CBX staff player Tim Petrovic finished 2nd at the 39th Senior U.S. Open Sunday playing three Tour Edge clubs; an Exotics CBX 15 degree 3-wood, an Exotics CBX 18 degree 5-wood and an Exotics CBX 19-degree Iron-Wood with a UST VTS shaft.
The 2nd place finish for Petrovic makes it three wins and eight runner-up finishes in the last 14 events for players choosing Tour Edge Exotics golf clubs.
It also marks seven straight events with a win or a runner-up finish for a player using Exotics on the PGA Tour Champions. Professionals playing Tour Edge have earned a runner-up finish in all three major events played this year.
In one of the hardest tests in the history of the PGA Tour Champions, the East Course at the Broadmoor under the direction of the USGA, Petrovic kept battling all weekend.
To stay in contention in Colorado Springs, Petrovic was seen hitting his Exotics CBX 3-wood and CBX Iron-Wood off the tee on numerous occasions during the tournament to stay out of the deep U.S. Open rough.
He shot a three-under par round of 65 on Friday, moving him up 23 spots in the leaderboard.
“Yesterday, it seemed like I was playing out of the rough half the day,” said Petrovic. “And this course, if you’re playing out of the rough and you’re hitting long approach shots in the rough, it’s going to be a long day. So I drove the ball better today.”
Only seven players came in under par for the major championship, the third out of five majors played so far this year. The next two events on the PGA Tour Champions schedule are also major events; the Constellation SENIOR PLAYERS Championship at Exmoor Country Club and The Senior Open Championship taking place at St. Andrews.
Petrovic has earned two runner-up finishes in the last two majors played this year. He placed 2nd at the Senior PGA Championship held in Benton Harbor Michigan. At the time, he jumped up the Charles Schwab Cup standings from 33rd to 11th after earning $347,000 for finishing 2nd in Michigan.
With his 2nd place finish this week, Petrovic moved up to 8th in the money list. He has now earned $905,221 in prize money on the season.
Nine players playing Tour Edge are currently ranked in the Top 40 in the 2018 Charles Schwab Cup standings: #6 Scott McCarron, #8 Petrovic, #9 Non-Contracted Player, #12 Tom Lehman, #21 Rocco Mediate, #27 Scott Dunlap, #29 Non-Contracted Player, #32 Duffy Waldorf and #40 Bart Bryant.

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.
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.
