OCEAN ISLE, N.C. -- Evolve Golf confirmed that the winner of the 26th U.S. Open Championship used an epoch tee to overcome a nine-stroke deficit and score a 10-under-par 274 en route to the second largest comeback victory in any major championship.

The revolutionary epoch enabled the 57-year old winner to average more than 300 yards off the tee Sunday and finish fourth overall in driving accuracy, hitting 76.8% of the fairways.

With the victory, the USGA veteran claimed his third major championship on the Champion Tour and 10th title overall since joining the circuit in 1999.

"While we have seen our product at the heart of two significant victories in consecutive weeks, it is our season-long success that has truly validated our claim as the number one biodegradable performance golf tee on Tour," Evolve Golf CEO BJ Maloy.

The four convex radius posts of the 100% biodegradable epoch allow for improved ball flight unlike concaved wood cups which promote unwanted sidespin and deflection at the moment of impact.

The epoch reduces surface contact with the ball by 93% resulting in increased ball launch speed while providing a consistent launch angle and reducing backspin and sidespin deflection.

Evolve Golf, based in Ocean Isle, NC is the manufacturer of the No. 1 Performance Golf Tee on Tour™. Two years of R&D developing advances in biotechnology material science and surface geometry produced a biodegradable tee that significantly outperforms the wood tee. Their epoch product line will be featured as the preferred tee for play at hundreds of premium golf clubs nationwide.
