Lee Westwood wins with Titleist Pro V1x. Advances to World No. 1.
Fairhaven, MA (April 25, 2011) – Pro V1x loyalist Lee Westwood’s 38th birthday celebration was highlighted by a 3-under 69 en route to a three-shot victory Sunday at the Asian Tour’s inaugural Indonesian Masters.
It marked the 33rd international win of Westwood’s career, and vaulted him to No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
Westwood, who finished at 19-under 269, was the only player to shoot all four rounds in the 60s (68-66-66-69).
Westwood was one of 103 players who played a Titleist golf ball at the Indonesian Masters, more than five times the nearest competitor with 19 and more than all competitors combined. In fact, six of the top eight finishers at the event relied on a Titleist golf ball for their success.
Westwood’s win was also one of two on the weekend for Titleist golf ball players, as fellow Pro V1x loyalist Nicolas Colsaerts earned a four-shot victory at the European Tour’s Volvo China Open.
Titleist golf ball players have now won 38 times across the worldwide professional tours in 2011, nearly five times the nearest competitor with 8, and more than all competitors combined.
