ITASCA, IL. -- The PGA Tour's second, or unofficial, season began exactly the way the official season had ended – with the revolutionary Zero Friction Golf Tee being a key reason for the major success of a player using it.

The site this time was the Franklin Templeton Shootout in Naples, Fl., where a member of the winning team used Zero Friction's remarkable combination of distance and accuracy to help his team win the three-day event with an exceptional score of 30-under par 186. That included a 59 on the final day during the scramble portion of the tournament.

It was the second time this year the golfer had employed Zero Friction's three-pronged teeing system to achieve victory. Earlier this year he won the Bank of America Colonial teeing it up with Zero Friction.

Since it debuted on the major professional golf tours in May, the Zero Friction Golf Tee has won 12 tournaments, including nine on the PGA Tour and three on the Nationwide Tour.
