Feel Golf's grips help Craig Lee at Gleneagles Scottish PGA meet

MONTEREY, Calif. -- Craig Lee at Gleneagles Scottish PGA Championship, used “Full Release” ™ Performance Grips from Feel Golf.

Craig Lee and Dean Robertson went into a sudden death playoff after the pair finished tied for first at 17 under 275 at the Gleneagles Scottish PGA championship this past weekend. Robertson had a round of -10 on Saturday to catch Lee at the beginning of the fourth (4th) round.

Craig Lee, who plays between the European PGA tour and the Tartan Tour, found himself leading in each of the first 3 rounds, and again at the top of the leaderboard in the final round as he picked up a couple of birdies on the opening three holes while Robertson stumbled to a pair of bogeys.
By the 13th, Lee was three shots ahead and seemingly on course for the title, when Robertson mounted a spirited late rally and hauled himself back to the front. After Lee had dropped a shot at the 14th to see his lead cut to two, Robertson fashioned birdies at 15, 16 and 17 to edge into a one stroke lead playing the last.

The destination of the championship took another twist on the 18th as Lee holed a 20 foot birdie putt to force the play-off.

Robertson then proceeded to top Lee with a 30’ bomb of a putt on the first playoff hole.
