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 series of balls and all of the 2008 Precept products visit www.preceptgolf.com.
