Team Troon On Tour: Rory Wins Wells Fargo! Thomas & Noren with T25 Finishes

PGA TOUR – Wells Fargo Championship

Just one week away from the second major of the year (PGA Championship) the last warm up was a big one in the signature event: the Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Wells Fargo was stacked with members of Team Troon as well as Troon Investor/Supporter Rory McIlroy. Congrats is in order to Rory who had another fantastic week, getting his second victory in a row (he captured the Zurich Classic with Shane Lowery two weeks prior). Congrats Rory! Low Team Troon was Justin Thomas at T21 and then Alex Noren at T24. Complete Team Troon scores follow. Congrats Rory and great playing Team Troon!

PGA TOUR – Myrtle Beach Classic

The opposite field event this week was not too far down the road in the Myrtle Beach Classic held at The Dunes Golf and Beach Club. Team Troon member Erik van Rooyen was the solo member playing there and had a great week. His first three rounds included only two bogies and he was in second going into the final round (after making a long putt on 18 to shoot 65). He ultimately would finish in the top five and 15 under par. Solid playing EVR!

• T4 Erik van Rooyen: 67-67-65-70 = / -15

PGA Champions Tour –  Regions Tradition.

The PGA TOUR Champions returned to Greystone Golf & Country Club in Birmingham, AL for the first major in the Regions Tradition operated by Eventive Sports, A Troon Company. Colin Montgomerie was in the field and would finish T67 for the event. Congrats is in order for our  associates/colleagues at Eventive Sports on an amazing event. The Regions Tradition is one of the many iconic events they put on throughout the year and are proud of their exceptional job…this week and every week!

Over 100 junior golfer attended the interactive event that was picked up by the Golf Channel (mentions during the tournament) and had a segment included in Golf Channel’s “The Cut,” airing this week.
