From 184 yards in the fairway on the 72nd hole, Titleist Brand Ambassador Robert MacIntyre stuck his Pro V1 golf ball to inside 10 feet to close out his first PGA TOUR victory.
MacIntyre’s tournament-sealing par completed a Sunday 68 and one-shot victory at Hamilton Golf & Country Club.
MacIntyre, also gaming a TSR2 driver, 620 CB irons and four Vokey Design wedges among his Titleist setup, posted all four rounds in the 60s (64-66-66-68) to finish the week at 16 under.
The European Ryder Cupper and two-time DP World Tour winner, who finished T8 two weeks ago at the PGA Championship, is the second player from the 2023 DP World Tour Top 10 to win on TOUR this season, joining Farmers Insurance Open winner Matthieu Pavon (Pro V1).

Led by Robert MacIntyre, who gamed our Vokey wedges (NEW Vokey Design SM10 46.10F, SM9 50.08F, 56.10S, WedgeWorks 60.06K), each of the top-5 finishers on Sunday’s final leaderboard played a Vokey Design lob wedge:
T4. 2023 Shriners Children's Open Champion: NEW Vokey Design SM10 46.10F, 50.12F, 54.12D, WedgeWorks 60L
MacIntyre finished the week ranked eighth in Strokes Gained: Around the Green, gaining 2.67 shots on the field. He also finished T12 in Scrambling (14/21, 67%).
Dating back to Wyndham Clark’s win at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Vokey Design wedges have been used to win 16 of the last 21 PGA TOUR events.
Robert MacIntyre’s victory with his WedgeWorks 60.06K lob wedge makes it three wins in four weeks on the PGA TOUR for Vokey Design WedgeWorks Low Bounce K players, with the grind also being used by the winners of the PGA Championship and Wells Fargo Championship.
The Low Bounce K was also used by this week’s winners on the DP World Tour, Korn Ferry Tour and Korean Tour.
Featuring 6 degrees of bounce, the Low Bounce K was born out of Master Craftsman Bob Vokey and longtime Vokey tour representative Aaron Dill’s collaboration with players on the PGA TOUR and across the worldwide professional tours. It provides players the versatility required to open the face and hit higher, softer shots off tight lies around the green while offering forgiveness out of the bunker due to the grind’s sole width.

Laurie Canter (Pro V1) broke through with his first career win on the DP World Tour, shooting 13 under for the week in Germany to win by two. Canter, who opened the week with rounds of 68-66 around the difficult par-73 setup, made three back-nine birdies on Sunday to separate from the pack.
Canter has been dialed in all season from tee to green; he ranks second in Strokes Gained: Off the Tee (+1.07), fifth in Scrambling (66%) and ninth in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green (+1.37) for the ‘23-24 season. With the win, he moves to No. 8 in the season-long Race to Dubai standings, up 18 spots from his previous position.
The DP World Tour’s newest first-time winner gamed three Vokey Design wedges (NEW Vokey Design SM10 50.08F, 56.10S, WedgeWorks 60.06K) and a NEW Scotty Cameron Phantom 5s tour prototype putter in capturing his first title on tour.
Perrine Delacour (Pro V1x) made birdie on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff to earn her first career LET victory. The Frenchwoman shot rounds of 68-70-67 at Allerum Golf Club (11 under) before making the tournament-clinching birdie on the first extra hole. With the win, Delacour locked up exemptions into the Scottish Open and the AIG Women’s Open.
Playing a Pro V1x golf ball and 14 Titleist clubs, the winner of the Brabazon Trophy shot 9 under for the week to clinch a one-shot win.
The overwhelming majority of competitors competing for The Brabazon Trophy played a Titleist golf ball, with 84 percent of the field teeing up a Pro V1 or Pro V1x.
Titleist was also the clear favorite in drivers (50%), iron sets (41%), wedges (55%) and putters (38%).
