2007 Rookie of the Year records second PGA Tour win with B330-S golf ball
Covington, Ga. – In Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, Bridgestone Tour Team member Brandt Snedeker ensured Easter 2011 would be one he’d never forget, firing a tournament low 7-under par 64 to earn his way into a playoff for the Heritage. In his second career PGA TOUR victory, Snedeker made a title-clinching par on the 3rd hole of the sudden death playoff to secure the victory and vault him into 7th place in the 2011 FedExCup standings.
“With 5 Top 10’s this year, Brandt has been one of the hottest players on TOUR over the last few weeks, so we had a feeling that it was only a matter of time until he would be hoisting the second PGA TOUR trophy of his career,” said Dan Murphy, Vice President of Marketing – Bridgestone Golf, Inc. “We’re excited that the B330-S helped Brandt stand up to the tough test that is Harbour Town Golf Links. We were proud to see ‘Sneds’ don the Tartan Jacket. There isn’t a more deserving champion in golf.”
Snedeker relied on the incredible feel and consistency of the new Bridgestone Golf TOUR B330-S golf ball in his march to victory, compiling an array of impressive statistics throughout the course of the event. On the incredibly tight Harbour Town Golf Links, Snedeker finished T3 in Driving Accuracy and also managed T2 and T4 finishes in Putts per GIR and Putts Per Round, respectively. In addition, Snedeker negotiated the demanding track with 21 birdies for the week, the best of any competitor in the field.
The B330 family of balls feature a street price of $42.99 per dozen (suggested retail price of $56 per dozen) and are available now at golf specialty stores and green grass retailers nationwide.
