PAULA AND PRECEPT NOTCH SECOND "W" OF 2008
Creamer Survives a Week of Strong Winds To Record 6th Professional Victory
|
Covington, Ga. - LPGA Tour star and Precept staff player, Paula Creamer,
used precision iron-play and deft control around the greens (with her patented
pink Precept ball) to weather the tough
conditions, en route to a sudden death victory at the SemGroup Championship, in
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, on Sunday. The victory
is her second this year and third since switching to the Precept Pink Lady iQ
180 golf ball.
"I've been playing the pink Precept ball on Sundays for a while now, and I
think 'pinky' and I have a good thing going on!
I know the ball performed great for me in the Oklahoma winds. It really keeps
its line. I need that confidence in a close
battle like this," said Creamer. "Trying to win in sudden death is
nerve-wracking, but having that peace-of-mind really
gave me a mental edge."
Creamer's iQ 180 golf ball features Seamless Cover Technology™ for ultimate
consistency in ball-flight. Unlike competitors'
balls, SCT™ assures that more of the surface of the ball is covered with
dimples, resulting in added accuracy and consistency,
even on "equator" and "pole" hits, where other balls sacrifice consistency. In
addition, the pink Lady iQ 180 also relies
on Bridgestone's patented, Gradational Compression core technology, using
varying degrees of firmness from the inside to
outside of the core in order to create greater repulsion and more distance off
the tee.
"We're all very proud of Paula, for staying the course and not letting some bad
breaks get the best of her," said Dan Murphy,
Senior Director of Marketing – Bridgestone Golf, Inc. "She continues to be a
great role model for aspiring young golfers,
acting not only as a great steward of our brand, but for the game as a whole.
We can all be confident in the continued success
of the game with ambassadors like Paula."
Creamer’s win at the Cedar Ridge Golf Club is her sixth LPGA TOUR victory and
third with Precept’s Pink Lady iQ 180 golf
ball.
The consumer version of the Lady iQ 180 golf ball is available in pink, yellow,
traditional white and pearl white and features
a suggested retail price of $30 per dozen. For more information on the iQ
