Last week was a good one for Rife putters with the brand claiming a win and a tie for second on the Champions Tour.

Lonnie Nielson fired a sublime final round of 63 on his way to victory at the Dick's Sporting Goods Open, with Rife putter users Fred Funk and Ronnie Black coming in equal runners-up spot.

Making use of the famous Roll Groove Technology Nielson, whose 21-under-par total was a tournament record, finished first in "putts per greens in regulation" with an average of 1.543.
