Titleist – #1 With Club Professionals
Titleist was the overwhelming favourite at the 2009 Glenmuir PGA Professionals Championship at Dundonald Links, as PGA Club Professionals followed the example set by the world’s best players on Tour by choosing Titleist. The legendary Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf ball franchise claimed the #1 position in the ball category. The strength and depth of Titleist’s products was further demonstrated as they led the count for drivers, fairway metals, utilities, irons and wedges*. As well as being the firm favourite throughout the field, Titleist was also the choice of the champion, James Lee, who trusted the performance and workability of Titleist from tee to green.
Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls led the way for Titleist as they were the choice of 140 players. This accounted for 88.1% of the field, more than seventeen times the nearest competitor with eight players; proving that players across all levels of the professional game opt for the matchless performance of the #1 ball in golf when it really counts.
Titleist enjoyed similar success in many of the club categories, proving that Titleist’s clubs meet the needs of the best players throughout the professional ranks. The latest range of drivers, including the Tour proven 909 D2, 909 D3 and 909 DComp helped Titleist top the driver count with 45% of the field. The latest 909 F2 and 909 F3 fairway metals and 909H hybrid also helped Titleist top the fairways and utility categories with 29.1% and 34.8% of the field respectively.
The playability of Titleist irons such as the tour proven AP2 and ZB forged irons saw them as the preferred choice of better players, topping the iron category with 57 players, 35.8 % of the field. Titleist Vokey Design wedges, designed by master craftsman Bob Vokey, also topped their category respectively, accounting for over half of all wedges in play at Dundonald Links. Vokey wedges accounted for 50.8% of the field, more than four times the nearest competitor with 10.7%.
To cap a fine week for Titleist, the winner at Dundonald Links, James Lee, trusted Titleist right through his bag including a Titleist 909 DComp driver, Titleist 906 F2 fairway metal, Titleist AP2 irons, Vokey 200 Series wedges and Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 putter. Lee claimed a four stroke victory with his three-over par total, 291, and booked his place in the GB & I team for this year’s PGA Cup.
A further win for the #1 ball in golf at Dundonald Links, as well as Titleist topping the count for drivers, fairways, hybrids, irons and wedges proves once again that better players opt for the matchless performance of Titleist.
