Feel Golf Company congratulates Runner-Up in the Zurich Classic

MONTEREY, Calif. - The Feel Golf Company celebrated another milestone this past weekend as Lucas Glover, the runner up of the PGA Tour’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans, used a set of Feel Golf's Competitor Blades to tie for the lead at the end of regulation play and finish second in a playoff at the TPC of Louisiana in New Orleans, La. The former Nationwide Tour standout and All-American from the University of Virginia recorded his best finish to date on the PGA Tour. A final round of 70 put Glover on top of the leader board at the end of regulation play along with eventual winner Tim Petrovic. Both finished with an impressive 13 under total of 275 for the tournament. This runner up finish puts him 39th overall in total tournament earnings for the year at $726,673.

While not under contract at this time, the runner up has been playing the Feel Competitor Blades since his 2001 professional tour debut. Amazingly Glover picked up this used set of irons at a local pro shop and hasn't been willing to part with them ever since.

"I offered him a brand new set exactly like the used set he has, but he adamantly and politely refused," said Lee Miller, CEO of Feel Golf. "He said the irons he was playing with felt perfect and he didn't want to give them up. This is a great finish for this young rising star and we're proud to be a part of it. You're going to see a lot more of this young man in future PGA Tour events. He strikes the ball well and is a very consistent player. Getting to the Top of the leader board at the end of regulation play is not easy considering the talent and the quality of play that the PGA Tour brings to every tournament."
