Zen holes its first major tour win ...

News Date 23rd December 2003. Peter Lonard uses the Zen Oracle Tour Putter to secure victory in the Australian Open at Moonah Links.

Peter’s win included final round birdies on the 13th 16th and 18th holes to fuel the lowest putting averages in the top finishers. Peter has struggled with his putting during 2003, and this victory follows quickly after his introduction to the Zen Oracle on the US Tour. The Australian Open adds to his Australian PGA Championships and now boosts his world ranking a massive 14 places to no. 28 to secure the top spot on the Australasian Order of Merit and automatic invites to the US Masters and British Open 2004.

"We are delighted with Mr. Lonard's achievement with our Zen Oracle Tour Putter and congratulate him on winning one of Australia's major golf tournaments ", states Bob Hanington, CEO of Zen Corporation USA. "We couldn't have asked for a better success story than having such a consistently great player choose our product and do so well with it." Since putting the Zen Oracle Tour Putter in play four events ago, Mr. Lonard has had four top 9 finishes, three top 5 finishes and one win.
