DENVER - YES! Golf was once again in the winner's circle  this weekend but got there in a unique way. The winner of the Tour  Championship and FedEX Cup won with a second-hand YES! Sophia putter that he  purchased from a local Boston golf retailer, Joe and Leigh's Discount Golf  Shop, during the second tournament of the FedEx Cup series, the Deutsche Bank  Championship.

The winner was asked about the putter after his final  round on Sunday and he said, "it is a Yes! putter, same putter that Retief won  his U.S. Opens with. Not the same putter, but the same company." When asked if  he would use the putter during the Ryder Cup, he stated, "I putted with it in  Chicago where I was struggling with the greens because they were slow and I  liked it there, and these were very quick and I liked it here. It will go with  me. It will be used either way."

The Sophia putter is a heel-shafted,  traditional blade putter made with a 304 stainless steel head and a  titanium-carbon finish. YES! Golf's newest version of the Sophia model is the  Morgan putter, a multi-material head construction for high MOI. The Morgan was  named to the 2010 Golf Digest Hot List.

The winner of the Tour  Championship bought the second-hand Sophia for $39. He noted, "It's got a nick  on the back flange, it's got a little ding in the top line and the way the  grip is on it, it might be slightly off center but that's kind of how I like  it anyway. I guess we were meant to be, who knows."

Meant for each  other is a huge understatement. Since the switch, he has earned more than $1.5  million and an additional $10 million in bonus.

This week, YES! Golf  expects to have three putters in play during the Ryder Cup - Sophia, Callie  and Mollie.  

YES! Golf does not pay tour players to use its  putters but they have several players on each tour using the putters. On the  European Tour, YES! averages about 15 putters in play each week and has  recorded four wins this year on tour and one on the Nationwide Tour. YES!  putters were also in used at the U.S. Open, U.S Women's Open, U.S. Senior PGA  Championship and the NCAA Division I Men's Championships.

For nearly  10 years, Yes! Golf C-Groove putters, based in Denver, Co., have been used by  the winning professional golfer in over 100 tournaments in the USA, Canada,  Europe, Asia, Australia and South Africa.
