Titleist Brand Ambassador Noh Seung-yul becomes the youngest professional champion in European Tour history and Camilo Villegas claims the Honda Classic with the legendary Pro V1.

Titleist Brand Ambassador Noh Seung-yul and Titleist Pro V1 loyalist Camilo Villegas continued Titleist’s impressive start to the 2010 season as they claimed victories on the European and PGA Tours respectively. Noh birdied the 72nd hole of the Maybank Malaysian Open to claim his maiden European Tour victory by one shot with a 14-under par total of 274 and, in doing so, entered the European Tour history books as the youngest ever professional champion at just 18 years and 281 days old. On the PGA Tour, stylish Colombian, Camilo Villegas fired a fourth consecutive round in the 60’s to claim a five stroke victory and his third PGA Tour career win at the Honda Classic.

South Korean, Noh trusted the playability and precision of Titleist equipment throughout his bag to finish top of a leaderboard in which every one of the top five players trusted a Titleist golf ball for their success. Pro V1x loyalist K.J. Choi finished one shot behind the teenager on 13-under par following a final round 69, with Titleist Brand Ambassador Søren Hansen (Pro V1x) and Titleist golf ball loyalists Rhys Davies (Pro V1) and Kiradech Aphibarnrat (Pro V1x) finishing tied for third place one shot further back. Noh’s equipment included the legendary Pro V1x golf ball, 909D3 driver, 909F3 fairway, New MB irons, Vokey Spin Milled pitching, sand and lob wedges and Scotty Cameron putter. As well as being the choice of the champion, Titleist golf balls were also the choice of the majority of the field with 102 players compared to 23 for the nearest competitor. In addition, Titleist also topped the counts for irons and ranked first in sand, lob and approach wedges respectively.

In Florida, Camilo Villegas trusted the feel and control of the Pro V1 to fire a final round 2-under par 68 and claim a five stroke victory at the Honda Classic. Having shared the lead after the second round, following two consecutive rounds of 66, Villegas never looked back as he fired rounds of 67 and 68 over the weekend to claim an emphatic win. As well as topping the leaderboard, Titleist golf balls were the choice of the majority of the field at PGA National, with 89 players putting their trust in the #1 ball in golf, compared to 17 for the nearest competitor. Titleist also topped the counts for irons, sand, lob and approach wedges, and putters respectively. Villegas’ victory was the eighth for a Titleist golf ball loyalist in the first ten events on the 2010 PGA Tour, and takes the Titleist worldwide win count for 2010 to 23, more than five times the nearest competitor.

A historical maiden European Tour victory for Titleist Ambassador Noh Seung-yul and an impressive first victory of 2010 for Pro V1 loyalist Camilo Villegas, continues to prove that the world’s best players opt for the matchless performance of Titleist for their success.
