While Team USA was busy making history Sunday, there was a PGA TOUR Champions event being played 2300 miles west at Pebble Beach Golf Links.
The PURE Insurance Championship finished up Sunday at Pebble Beach and Tour Edge was all over the leaderboard with a runner-up finish, three Top 5’s and six total Top 25 finishes.
Tour Edge staff player Bernhard Langer finished 2nd this week and jumped back into 1st place in the Charles Schwab Cup standings. Langer now has a $164,632 lead over the number two spot with only five events remaining.
Langer played brilliant golf with a 71-66-68 11-under par performance. He called his 2nd round one of the best rounds on this golf course in 40 years. It was his 2nd runner-up finish and 3rd Top 10 in the last 4 events.
Two non-staff players, including a new player to Tour Edge, finished in the Top 5 playing Exotics C721 Hybrids. Tour Edge has now seen 131 different PGA TOUR players play their golf clubs in tournament play on the three PGA Tours since 2018.
Tour Edge Staffer Tim Petrovic played 13 Exotics from driver to wedge including the new Exotics Pro 721 Driver and 3-wood to a 13th place finish this week, his 16th Top 25 finish in the 2020/21 season.
Fellow Tour Edge Staff player Tom Lehman finished in 20th place after firing an opening round 67.
A non-contracted player played an Exotics C721 and EXS Pro 3-wood to a T23 finish. The player is choosing these clubs based on performance as his numbers have been fantastic since switching to Tour Edge. He currently ranks 8th on the Champions in driving distance.
