The champions of both the  Men’s (Pro V1x Left Dash)  and  Women’s (Pro V1x) competitions  trusted a Titleist golf ball in winning the European Nations Cup. In total, 88 percent of the men and 84 percent of the women teed up a Titleist at the start of the week. Titleist was also the most played driver in both divisions as well. 

Rounds of 65-70 from  Scott Dunlap (Pro V1) earned him his second career PGA Tour Champions victory after the final round was cancelled due to weather. Dunlap hit 28 of 36 GIR (78%, T8) and was 7-for-8 in getting his Pro V1 up-and-down (88%, T6).  

The overwhelming majority (14) of players who earned spots in next week’s PGA Championship trusted a Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball in earning their way to Valhalla.  

Titleist golf clubs were also the top choice of the PPC’s top-20. 

That list includes  Tracy Phillips, the PGA Director of Instruction at Cedar Ridge Country Club (Tulsa, Okla.), who earned his first PGA Championship berth at the age of 61. Phillips played a  Pro V1x golf ball  and a Titleist setup that included his  TSR1 driver, T200 irons  and  Vokey wedges. 

Among the 20 qualifiers: 

— 14 trusted a Titleist golf ball (70%): 4 Pro V1, 6 Pro V1x (1 Pro V1x Yellow), 2 Pro V1x Left Dash, 2 Pro V1 Left Dot; 

— 12 played a TSR driver and had a set of Titleist irons in the bag (60%); 

— Titleist also led in fairways (11/44%), hybrids (3/43%) and utilities (12/75%); 

— There were 33 (58%) Vokey Design gap, sand and lob wedges in play; and 

— Six played a Scotty Cameron putter (T1, 33%). 

Playing a  Pro V1x golf ball  and  full bag of Titleist equipment, Louis Albertse shot a final round 8-under 64 to post 23 under and win by seven shots. The victory marked Albertse’s third career Sunshine Tour title.
