Tied for the lead on the tee at Oakmont’s 314-yard par-4 17th, the winner of the 2025 U.S. Open called on his   GT3 9.0 driver  to hit one of the most clutch drives in major championship history, his tee shot stopping just inside 18 feet from the hole to set up the go-ahead birdie with one hole to play. The champion pulled driver again on the 18th tee, striping it 308 yards down the middle of the fairway and putting himself in prime position to close out the tournament. 

The newest major winner was dialled throughout the week with his driver, gaining +2.35 strokes off the tee (26th). He also ranked T19 in driving accuracy, hitting 35 of 56 fairways (63%) on the demanding U.S. Open setup. 

The champion was one of 58 players (37%) who played a Titleist driver this week at Oakmont, 12 more than the total of the nearest competitor.  Also among that group was Titleist Brand Ambassadors  Robert MacIntyre, who finished runner-up with his TSR2 9.0 driver; and  Cameron Young, who finished T4 with his GT2 9.0 driver. 

Titleist has been the most played driver brand on the PGA TOUR for six seasons and counting.

The 2025 U.S. Open champion has trusted his current setup –  GT3 9.0, B•1 SureFit Hosel, Fujikura Ventus Black Velocore+ 6 X – since early March, and he was gaming the exact same driver setup when he finished runner-up at this year’s PLAYERS Championship. 

The winner first moved into a GT driver from a competitive model last summer at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. The event was his first start since the models launched on TOUR at the Memorial a few weeks prior, and he originally put a GT2 driver straight in the bag, having loved the ball speed increase from his previous gamer. A few starts later, at the 3M Open, he worked with Titleist Tour Rep Larry Silveira to dial in his spin rates, which led him to the slightly lower-spinning GT3. He has not moved out of GT3 since.   

Prior to making the move to GT, he had been ranked 146th in Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee for the season (-.285 through the 2024 RBC Canadian Open). After using GT for the remainder of the season, his driving stats had already begun to improve, as he finished 2024 ranked 111th in SG: OTT (-0.016). This season, he currently ranks 51st on TOUR, gaining an average of +.232 strokes on the field and showing an improvement of 95 spots from his position before the switch. He also currently ranks 23rd in Total Driving. 

The winner of the 2025 Latin America Amateur Championship earned low amateur honours at Oakmont after carding rounds of 73-73-73-76. Gaming his  NEW 2025 Pro V1x golf ball, GT2 driver, blended set of T-Series irons, Vokey SM10 wedges  and  Scotty Cameron Phantom putter, the 21-year-old was the only amateur out of 15 competing this week to make the cut.  

WITB | 2025 U.S. Open Low Amateur:  NEW 2025 Titleist Pro V1x golf ball; GT2 10.0 driver; NEW GT1 14.5 fairway; T200 3-iron, T150 4-iron, T100 5-P irons; Vokey Design SM10 50.08F, 56.12D, WedgeWorks 60L wedges; Scotty Cameron Phantom 5 tour prototype putter 

With clutch birdies on the 71st and 72nd holes of the tournament,  Carlota Ciganda (Pro V1x)  claimed a one-shot victory in Michigan. Ciganda’s finish put the final touches on a 5-under 67 – her fourth sub-70 round of the week (69-67-69-67) – which saw her reach 16 under, one shot clear of  Hye-Jin Choi (NEW 2025 Pro V1). The win marked Ciganda’s third career LPGA victory to pair with eight LET titles. 

Ciganda was in control of her golf ball all week long, hitting 79% greens in regulation (57/72) and converting 23 birdies.  

Darcey Harry  trusted her  Pro V1 golf ball to shoot three consecutive rounds of 68 to close out her week at 13 under, three shots clear of second place. The win marked the 22-year-old rookie’s first career LET title. 

Ten of the first 11 LET events this season have been won with the #1 ball in golf.
