FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 3, 2009 -- While Tom Watson was fighting for his sixth British Open Championship on the same weekend, the 2009 US Bank Championship in Milwaukee had plenty of its own drama. The four-day battle among 132 of the best golfers in the world brought sizeable crowds to Brown Deer Park Golf Course. Also drawing attention were Wisconsin’s own Jerry Kelly, Mark Wilson, and Skip Kendall. Kelly finished in third place overall and was an obvious fan favorite. Seventy-two holes were not enough to determine a winner at this year’s event; it required two playoff holes to crown Bo Van Pelt as the champion. This was Van Pelt’s first career PGA Tour victory.
As previously noted, each player was given a GolfStretcher Tour Edition. The GolfStretcher is an innovative product that allows golfers of all

ages and ability levels to stretch muscles crucial to the golf swing. Its rotating handles promote a greater range of motion for many muscles, tendons, and joints than cannot be done when using the shaft of a golf club to warm-up. When done correctly, the GolfStretcher can be used for a complete warm-up of the shoulders, back muscles, and hamstrings in a brief five minute warm-up. This GolfStretcher Tour Edition will fit every person regardless of size, stature, or level of flexibility. This GolfStretcher allows for a greater range of motion while performing the warm-up exercises allowing golfers to create a longer, more powerful, and more repeatable golf swing. This model is also beneficial to those golfers who are larger or less flexible and need more room to maneuver through the stretching

regimen.
Tournament Director of the 2009 US Bank Championship, Dan Croak, said “We want to thank GolfStretcher for donating their wonderful product to the PGA Tour players…All of them can benefit from stretching prior to their rounds and having this great product with them as they travel can help them prepare for the vigorous schedule that they have on the PGA Tour.” The GolfStretcher Tour Edition is lightweight and will fit in many golf bags allowing for easy access and travel. There is nothing else like the GolfStretcher on the market. It is as unique as everyone’s golf swing and will benefit high and low handicappers alike.
PGA Tour Pros know the benefits of correctly stretching to prepare themselves to play at a high level. Tension is the worst enemy of golfers of all ages and ability levels. Unlike Professionals, weekend golfers don’t have the luxury of a personal trainer stretching them out before their rounds. In less than five minutes the GolfStretcher will warm-up all of the body’s muscles to promote a more powerful and repeatable golf swing.
“We had a great week with an exciting finish. It sure was great to see Bo Van Pelt win his first tournament by outlasting John Mallinger in a two-hole playoff. Jerry Kelly was like a magnet for fans that seemed to gather around him wherever he went. With good weather on the weekend the crowds were fantastic” said Croak.
It is no secret that questions loom about next year’s event. Will the tournament return to Milwaukee? Will there be a new title sponsor? Those questions will be answered in the weeks and months to come. For now, Jerry Kelly and Steve Stricker are working diligently to search for a new title sponsor in 2010 and possibly move the event to a different weekend—not opposite the British Open. Though the future of the tournament is uncertain, the 2009 US Bank Championship was certainly an entertaining display of impressive golf.
