FlightScope at the 2013 Open Championship

ORLANDO, Fla (July 25, 2013) FlightScope would like to congratulate Phil Mickelson on his win at this year’s Open Championship. For the 3rd year in a row FlightScope® (the premier portable indoor-outdoor ball-flight and launch monitor, and the world’s first-ever 3D Doppler tracking radar for golf) was featured at The Open Championship. This year FlightScope® had the honor of being on that all important par 5, 17th tee. Many people questioned whether Mickelson would even be able to reach the green in two without his driver in his bag. After the tournament Mickelson said “…the two 3-woods I hit on 17 were among the best I have ever hit…” and FlightScope® was there to measure all the data.
