Callaway Staff Pros Montgomerie and Graham Charge to Victories on European Tour and Senior Tour

CARLSBAD, Calif. (PROTEXT) - Colin Montgomerie and David Graham, Callaway Golf (NYSE: ELY) Staff Professionals, both were victorious over this past weekend. Montgomerie cruised to a PGA European Tour record- tying sixth win of the season with his 3 and 2 victory over Mark O'Meara at the Cisco World Match Play Championship at Wentworth, England. Graham fired a closing round 65 for a four-stroke victory over Larry Mowry in the Raley's Gold Rush at Serrano Country Club in El Dorado Hills, Calif. Montgomerie used 11 Callaway Golf clubs in this, his 23rd career PGA European Tour victory, including a Great Big Bertha(R) Hawk Eye(R) Titanium Driver, Big Bertha(R) Steelhead(TM) 3-wood and Big Bertha X-12(R) Irons. Playing excellent golf despite a severe toothache, Montgomerie opened up a 5-hole lead in the afternoon portion of the match and then closed-out his fellow competitor on the 34th hole. "It's been a wonderful ball-striking year for me," said Montgomerie, who is virtually assured of winning a record- breaking seventh consecutive Volvo Order of Merit money title in Europe. "Driving, iron play -- right through the bag -- it's been extremely gratifying." Graham used 13 Callaway Golf clubs in this, his fifth Senior PGA Tour victory, including a Callaway Titanium Driver, Callaway Steelhead 4-wood and Callaway X-12 Irons and pitching wedges. He began the tournament on Friday with a course record-tying 63 and closed strongly, birdieing five of the first nine holes to charge into the lead. "I got off to a good start and just kept it going," said Graham, who finished with a 17-under-par total of 199, a tournament record for the 54-hole event. "I've got a lot of confidence in my iron play, and that's a function of how well I'm driving the ball." In other positive news from the pro tours, the winner of the Las Vegas Invitational used a Callaway Titanium Driver and the two pros that tied for second place in the LPGA's AFLAC Tournament of Champions both used Callaway Steelhead fairway woods. In addition, the winner of the AFLAC Tournament of Champions used an Odyssey(R) Dual Force(R) 330 putter, the runner-up in the Las Vegas Invitational used an Odyssey DF 330 Mallet putter and one of the runner-up finishers at the AFLAC Tournament of Champions used an Odyssey TriForce(TM) 2 putter.
