Relies Upon Pro V1 Golf Ball, New AP2 Irons and Scotty Cameron for Second Victory of Year
Fairhaven, MA (April 28, 2008) – Proving that he has what it takes when it matters most, Adam Scott relied upon every club in his bag full of Titleist equipment for a thrilling playoff victory at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship. Scott converted a clutch 9-foot birdie putt on the final hole of regulation to force the playoff, and then drained a winding 48-foot birdie putt on the third extra hole for his sixth career PGA Tour title. Both players finished regulation at seven-under 273, and parred the first two playoff holes before Scott’s heroics. The win marks the 14th of Scott’s career as a professional, including his second of the year. He captured the Qatar Masters on the PGA European Tour in January after firing a final round 11-under 61 in just his second start with his new AP2 irons.
Trusting his Titleist equipment from tee-to-green, Scott finished among the Top 10 in Driving Distance (7th/302.6), Putts Per GIR (9th/1.696) and Greens in Regulation (T9/63.9) at the Byron Nelson Championship.
What’s in Adam’s Bag?: Pro V1 golf ball, 905R driver (8.5), 906F4 fairway metal (13.5), AP2 irons (2-9), Vokey Design pitching wedge (50), Spin Milled sand (56) and lob (60) wedges, Scotty Cameron prototype putter.
The momentum continues for Scott who has finished among the top 25 in each of the five PGA TOUR events in which he has completed this season. He withdrew from the Shell Houston Open due to illness after owning the first round lead with a 63.
Titleist was the most played golf ball at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship with 107 players, more than five times the nearest competitor with 21. In fact, nine of the 12 players who finished among the top 7 and ties trusted Titleist golf balls for their success. The victory was the 11th by a Titleist golf ball player this year, more than twice the nearest competitor.
In addition to being the #1 golf ball at the Byron Nelson Championship, Titleist was the field favorite in iron sets (41), wedges (155) and putters (58), and second in drivers (42).
