2013-03-03Michael Thompson fired one of only five sub-par rounds on Sunday at a windy PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., a 1-under 69 that gave him a two-shot victory at The Honda Classic. His first PGA Tour win secured him a spot in the WGC-Cadillac Championship next week and moved him to 11th in FedExCup points. He displayed keen short-game skills and clutch putting all week. In the final round he made a number of key pars from off the green. He was 9 under on rounds of 67-65-70-69.鈥淭his week was magical,鈥?said Thompson, 27, who earned $1,080,000. 鈥淚 stuck to my game plan, kept playing my game, found a groove and kept believing. All in all, it was a wonderful experience.鈥漈hompson was T1 for the week with 18 birdies, and he eagled the third hole Sunday when he holed a 49-foot putt. He shared the 54-hole lead with rookie and fellow PING Pro Luke Guthrie, 23, who finished solo third 鈥?his best finish on the PGA Tour.Thompson utilized an i20 driver, G25 fairway wood, S56 irons, Tour-S and Anser wedges, and an Anser 4 putter. 2012-04-22Lee Westwood made a successful return to Indonesia, winning a second-straight batik jacket, which is awarded to the champion of the Indonesian Masters. 鈥淗opefully, this will kick-start my year,鈥?said the world鈥檚 #3 of his two-shot victory. 鈥淚鈥檝e played well without any wins so hopefully I can go on and win other tournaments.鈥漌estwood charged into the first-round lead with an opening 7-under 65 at 7,322-yard Royale Jakarta Golf Club. He led wire-to-wire, and his 16-under total (65-68-65-74) was enough to defeat a number of pursuers. 鈥淚t is tough when you are the favorite because if you don鈥檛 win then it will be disappointing,鈥?Westwood said, just two days before his 39th birthday. 鈥淭here was a lot of pressure so I鈥檓 glad I did it.鈥漌estwood鈥檚 victory was the fourth in as many weeks for PING pros worldwide. The streak began with Hunter Mahan鈥檚 Shell Houston Open victory, followed by Bubba Watson鈥檚 win at the Masters, and Louis Oosthuizen claiming the Malaysian Open crown.Westwood relies on a G10 driver (9潞), i15 (15.5潞) and Rapture V2 (19潞) fairway woods, i10 irons (3-PW), Tour-W wedges (54潞, 58潞), and a Redwood Anser putter. <a href="http://scandaimes.com.br/applau/xhot_1/index.html" rel="nofollow">callaway big bertha clubs callaway x irons review</a>  
2013-01-13With his Anser driver, Louis Oosthuizen was #1 in average driving distance for the week at 304.9 yards, just one reason he was able to win the Volvo Golf Champions in his native South Africa. His final-round 66 helped him overcome a five-shot deficit to start the final round and win by a shot at Durban Country Club. It was his sixth European Tour title and 11th overall. The victory elevated Oosthuizen to fourth in the Official World Golf Ranking, the highest he鈥檚 been in his career. 'It was a great week 鈥?a lot of things happened,' said the 30-year-old, who was 16 under (68-64-74-66). In addition to average driving distance, he was #1 in putts per G.I.R at 1.611. 'It鈥檚 a great start the year]. I knew I had to come out and get my name up there. After being five down, to make it up after 12 holes, I was really chuffed about that. I just played really well all day.'It was his fifth top-six finish in his last six European Tour events. In his last eight starts, Oosthuizen has seven top 10s.Oosthuizen relied on an Anser driver (9.5掳), G5 fairway woods (15掳 and 18掳), S56 irons (3-PW), Tour S Rustique wedges (47掳, 54掳, and 60掳/TS), and a Scottsdale ZB S putter.New PING tour staff player Julien Quesne finished T5. 2012-02-26Hunter Mahan agreed with the assessment of his caddie, John Wood, who felt it was the best Mahan has ever played over an entire tournament. His opponents would have a hard time arguing. Mahan won the prestigious WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship with a 2&amp;1 victory in the finals at the 7,833-yard Ritz-Carlton Golf Club outside Tucson, Ariz. Three of the four top finishers were PING pros, as Mark Wilson defeated Lee Westwood in the consolation match, 1 up. Mahan never trailed in the finals, where he made seven of his 35 birdies for the week. Starting with the 6th, he won four out of five holes to build a 4-up lead after 10. The performance was typical of his dominating week -- he went his last 74 holes without falling behind in a match. He was consistently superb on the greens, and in interviews he repeatedly gave credit to the new mallet-style Nome. On Monday of the Match Play, an alignment session on the putting green using a laser device showed he was aiming left of the hole. With the face-balanced Nome, he aimed squarely at the hole and made putts. After a nine-hole practice round, the Nome went in his bag. 鈥淚 made a putter switch to the PING Nome and it felt great on the greens immediately,鈥?Mahan said of his fourth career win, which elevated him to a career-best 9th in the Official World Golf Ranking. 鈥淭his win gives me a lot of confidence. That鈥檚 how you separate the great players from everyone else 鈥?with wins 鈥?especially at the big events, and it doesn鈥檛 get much bigger than this, except the majors. So this is really special.鈥滻n addition to the Nome putter, Mahan carried a G20 driver (9.5潞), G20 3-wood (15潞), i15 hybrid (17潞), S56 irons, and Anser forged wedges (56潞, 60潞). Across the world in Singapore, Angela Stanford fired a tournament-low 6-under 66 in the opening round, then won her fifth LPGA title on the third hole of sudden death at the HSBC Women鈥檚 Champions. She relied on an i20 driver and irons.Stanford also utilized a G20 3-wood (15潞), G15 7-wood (21.5 潞), G20 hybrid (23潞), Tour S wedges (47潞, 52潞, 60潞, 60潞TS), and a Scottsdale Series Anser 2 putter.

Posted: October 15, 2014                            Please enable Javascript to watch this videoThe new Scotty Cameron Futura X5 putters combine a multi-material construction with a modern, wing back design to provide high-MOI performance in a refined shape.For more than a decade, Master Craftsman Scotty Cameron&rsquo;s Futura putter designs have delivered performance and stability. The new Scotty Cameron Futura X5 and X5R models, available in golf shops worldwide beginning Oct. 31, provide stability through advanced perimeter weighting with solid, forgiving feel, and vertical and horizontal sightlines for easier alignment. The X5 model is angled in the back, while the X5R features a rounded shape. The Matador Red Midsize grip matches well with the face-balanced mallet design for those players looking to execute a more square-to-square stroke.&ldquo;The Futura X5 mallet is for someone who likes the stability of a bigger head, the feel of a bigger grip, and likes to look down and see more lines for alignment purposes. X5 is more of a mechanical shape where the X5R is a softer, rounder shape. There&rsquo;s no right or wrong. Same performance, same weight, same feel. It all depends on what you like to look at,&rdquo; Cameron said.&ldquo;We&rsquo;re finding that mallets make up as much as 50 percent of the putters used on the PGA Tour each week &ndash; and for good reason. The size of the head is larger so it looks and feels more stable on the ground. The bigger the head, the more lines you can add for alignment. We worked with many players on tour and in the Putter Studio during the development of X5 and they all told us the same thing: It adds confidence.&rdquo;In addition, the new Scotty Cameron Futura X5 Dual Balance putter combines the X5 head style with Dual Balance technology to provide maximum stability for golfers who struggle to make a consistent stroke with a conventional length putter. Like all Dual Balance models, Futura X5 DB has a 50-gram heavier head (400 grams total) and a 50-gram counterweight in the butt of the shaft. This configuration helps many players to make a proper stroke where the butt of the shaft remains pointed at the midsection. Dual Balance putters have a standard length of 38 inches with a 15-inch grip that allows the player to grip down below the counterweight for a more stable stroke.HIGH-MOI CONSTRUCTION FOR STABILITY: Futura X5 putters feature a multi-material design with a precision-milled 303 Stainless Steel body and high grade 6061 aluminum soleplate. A lighter aluminum center section also extends down the wings. The body features a soft, Silver Mist finish, contrasted by the anodized black aluminum sole plate and center.The use of aluminum allowed Cameron to hollow the area under the soleplate, and redistribute the weight to the perimeter (in the wings) to achieve a high MOI for stability. It also allowed for a thicker face and topline for feel and sound. (Futura X5 Dual Balance has an additional 50 grams under the soleplate to counterbalance the 50-gram weight in the grip.) Heel-toe weights located directly under the face also contribute to the solid feel while increasing forgiveness.&ldquo;The X5 basically started from the original Futura 10 years ago. We&rsquo;ve learned from where we&rsquo;ve been, taken parts of the past and moved it toward the future with performance, feel and sound,&rdquo; Cameron said. &ldquo;But the concept has always been about moving the weight back and out. When we do that, the putter becomes more stable and the resistance to twist becomes a lot better. So with X5 we&rsquo;re using different materials like aluminum and stainless steel and getting that weight where it&rsquo;s needed most. But you also have to remember the feel, the shaft bend, the grip &ndash; all of these things have to come together, and they do with the new X5.&rdquo;FACE-BALANCED DESIGN WITH NEW SINGLE BEND SHAFT: Futura X5 and X5R putters are carefully designed with a new single bend shaft with a higher bend point that produces a true face-balanced configuration and one shaft of offset for a clean, tour-preferred appearance.&ldquo;The single bend came from taking feedback from the tour and working with players in the Studio. Double bends have been around for years and for X5 we really wanted to clean up the look,&rdquo; Cameron said. &ldquo;We had many players say they wished that the shaft leaned at their target or on their line, so we worked to find the proper offset and lean of the shaft so at address the bend lines up pointing right at your target. That was a key one because the mechanical-industrial shape of the head and the clean mechanical-industrial bend match perfectly. What I didn&rsquo;t want was a heavy, flowing bend onto a mechanical head.&rdquo;MATCHING GRIP FOR ENHANCED PERFORMANCE: The larger, mallet head designs of Futura X5 and X5R work in harmony with the 10-inch Matador Red Midsize grip. The grip, weighing in at 77 grams, feels great and promotes a more stable stroke.&ldquo;The grip can complement or kill the design of the putter,&rdquo; Cameron said. &ldquo;I know that sounds strange, but grips make a difference. With blades, it&rsquo;s a little more handsy, a little more flowing, a little more feel. With Futura X putters, it&rsquo;s a little more robotic, a little more square-to-square and this larger Matador grip complements the head very well.&rdquo;FUTURA X PUTTER FAMILY: Futura X5 and Futura X5R join the Futura X to form Cameron&rsquo;s highest MOI line of putters. The Futura X head design was the direct result of Cameron&rsquo;s extensive work with Titleist Brand Ambassador Adam Scott, who used a prototype version of the putter in winning the 2013 Masters Tournament. Scott, who has been using Cameron putters for more than a decade, calls his Futura X &ldquo;the most stable putter I have ever played.&rdquo;Precision milled from high grade 6061 aluminum, the original Futura X design combines a rear balance bar with deep heel-toe weights plus perimeter weighting under the face. The resulting deep CG provides stability throughout the stroke, while the perimeter weighting adds forgiveness and solid feel. The result is unmatched stability and a great roll.&ldquo;We have three lines of putters, but this is the most futuristic, the most high-tech,&rdquo; Cameron said. &ldquo;Futura is different because in order to get high MOI, we have to get the weight wider and further back.&rdquo;PRICE AND AVAILABILITY: Futura X5 putters are available worldwide beginning Oct. 31 through Titleist authorized golf shops. Futura X5 and X5R have a MAP of $349 ($375 MSRP). Futura X5 Dual Balance has a MAP of $399 ($425 MSRP).PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS:Futura X5 / Futura X5RLoft: 3.5&ordm;Lie: 70&ordm;RH Lengths: 33&rdquo;, 34&rdquo;, 35&rdquo;LH Lengths: 33&rdquo;, 34&rdquo;, 35&rdquo; (X5 only) Head Material: 303 Stainless Steel with Aluminum SoleHead Finish: Silver MistToe Flow: Face BalancedNeck: Single BendOffset: Full shaftGrip: Matador Red MidsizeFutura X5 Dual BalanceLoft: 3.5&ordm;Lie: 70&ordm;RH Lengths: 36-40&rsquo;&rsquo; (38&rdquo; standard)LH Lengths: N/A Head Material: 303 Stainless Steel with Aluminum SoleHead Finish: Silver MistToe Flow: Face BalancedNeck: Single BendOffset: Full shaftGrip: 15&rdquo; Cameron Dual Balance&bull; Note: Some lengths above are custom order only.&bull; X5 and X5R in 1/2&rdquo; lengths available by custom order.&bull; X5 Dual Balance is available in 1/2&rdquo; lengths from 36&rdquo;-40&rdquo;.&bull; Custom Loft +/-1&deg; Custom Lie +/-2&deg;.&bull; Heavier X5 and X5R models available by custom order.&bull; Additional options available at www.scottycameron.com.ON THE WEB: www.scottycameron.com 2012-04-22Lee Westwood made a successful return to Indonesia, winning a second-straight batik jacket, which is awarded to the champion of the Indonesian Masters. 鈥淗opefully, this will kick-start my year,鈥?said the world鈥檚 #3 of his two-shot victory. 鈥淚鈥檝e played well without any wins so hopefully I can go on and win other tournaments.鈥漌estwood charged into the first-round lead with an opening 7-under 65 at 7,322-yard Royale Jakarta Golf Club.

Posted: January 20, 2015                            2015 Models Deliver Exceptional Distance and Consistent Flight with More Short-Game Control, Even Softer Feel and Long-Lasting DurabilityFAIRHAVEN, Mass. (Jan. 21, 2015) &ndash; For nearly 15 years, the exceptional distance, superior scoring performance and unmatched consistency of Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls have been making a difference in the games of golfers around the world, from tour professionals to amateurs of all skill levels and swing speeds.It was in October 2000 that the original Pro V1 prototype first appeared on the PGA Tour at the Invensys Classic in Las Vegas. Forty-seven players put the ball in play that week, marking one of the largest pluralistic shifts of equipment at one event in golf history. In March 2001, just four months after launching to golf shops, Titleist Pro V1 became the best-selling golf ball in the marketplace.&ldquo;The launch of Pro V1 was especially significant in that for the very first time the best performing golf ball for tour players was also the best performing golf ball for all golfers,&rdquo; said Mary Lou Bohn, Vice President of Titleist Golf Ball Marketing and Communications. &ldquo;You no longer had to choose between distance over short-game control, or durability over soft feel. There were no trade-offs. Pro V1 delivered total performance.&rdquo;Pro V1 and Pro V1x (which launched in 2003) have been the most played golf balls at every level of competitive golf and the best-selling models around the world ever since. That&rsquo;s because the Titleist Golf Ball R&amp;D and Operations teams, representing more than 20,000 years of golf ball-making expertise, have worked every day to make the #1 ball in golf even better with each new generation.The new 2015 Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x models, available in golf shops beginning Jan. 30, are the result of a continuous process rooted in rigorous research and development, technological advancements, comprehensive player testing and validation, and precision manufacturing.Designed for all golfers seeking to shoot lower scores, 2015 Pro V1 and Pro V1x deliver exceptional distance with consistent flight, more short game control and even softer feel from a new, patented urethane elastomer cover formulation, and long lasting durability.Comparatively, Pro V1 has a softer feel, slightly more long game spin and a penetrating trajectory for a shallower angle of descent for more roll. Pro V1x offers a slightly firmer feel, lower long game spin and launches higher with a steeper angle of descent.The total performance of Pro V1 and Pro V1x tee-through-green &ndash; providing the best combination of distance, flight, short-game scoring control and feel &ndash; makes them the best fit for any golfer.&ldquo;Golfers often ask us what sets Pro V1 and Pro V1x apart from other golf balls. You can&rsquo;t just point to one or two things,&rdquo; said Bill Morgan, Senior Vice President, Titleist Golf Ball R&amp;D.&ldquo;The difference is everything. We have more people with more experience designing and making golf balls, the largest intellectual property portfolio and the most sophisticated precision manufacturing processes. The 2015 Pro V1 and Pro V1x are the culmination of all that knowledge and all of that technology. The original Pro V1 was revolutionary, no question, but we&rsquo;ve learned a lot in the last 15 years and these new Pro V1 models are the best we&rsquo;ve ever made.The Titleist Golf Ball R&amp;D team, driven by a commitment to continuous improvement and innovation, is made up of chemists, physicists, mathematicians, computer scientists, engineers and technicians, as well as PGA Professionals and turf management specialists. Due to their work, Titleist owns the industry&rsquo;s largest portfolio of golf ball intellectual property with more than 1,000 patents. Since 2010, Titleist has been awarded nearly 50 percent of all golf ball patents issued in the United States. There are more than 100 patents that cover the technologies and manufacturing processes for 2015 Pro V1 and Pro V1x combined.Eighty years after the first Titleist golf ball was produced, the Titleist Operations team is comprised of over 1,100 associates with an average tenure of 20 years. These associates manufacture every Titleist golf ball to exacting standards in Titleist owned and operated facilities &ndash;there are about 90 process and product quality checks for Pro V1; about 120 for the dual-core Pro V1x &ndash; assuring that every golf ball performs consistently for every golfer, every round and on every type of shot.Before being introduced to the market, new Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls are tested and validated by golfers at every level of the game, fromthe world&rsquo;s best tour players to amateurs of all skill levels and swing speeds. Since 2015 Pro V1 and Pro V1x were first introduced on the PGA Tour in October, more than 100 players have put the new models in play around the world &ndash; including Jordan Spieth, who played new Pro V1x in back-to-back runaway victories at the Australian Open and Hero World Challenge, winning those events by a combined 16 strokes. Jimmy Walker first put new Pro V1x in play two weeks ago at the PGA Tour&rsquo;s Hyundai Tournament of Champions, where he finished runner-up. The following week, he won the Sony Open in Hawaii by nine shots. Bubba Watson, Padraig Harrington and Charley Hoffman also trusted 2015 Pro V1x to victories soon after the new models were introduced on the worldwide tours.SOFTER COVER ENHANCES SHORT GAME CONTROL AND FEEL: The 2015 Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls feature a new, patented thermoset urethane elastomer cover that delivers more short game spin and control, and softer feel &ndash; while maintaining their exceptional distance and flight characteristics, and best-in-class durability. The softer, reformulated cover system improves feel, sound and short game scoring control, providing golfers the confidence and performance to hit it closer to the hole.&ldquo;When we set out to improve Pro V1 and Pro V1x, the product development process always starts with asking golfers how we can help them shoot lower scores,&rdquo; Bohn said. &ldquo;Since golfers have had such resounding success with Pro V1 and Pro V1x, this time around, they told us, &lsquo;Don&rsquo;t change much. I love the distance. I love the scoring performance. I love the durability. If you can give me slightly more spin in the short game as well as even softer feel, I&rsquo;ll take it. I just don&rsquo;t want to give anything up.&rsquo; So that became our design goal.&rdquo;The thermoset urethane cover formulation on both Pro V1 and Pro V1x is created by a chemical reaction that takes place during the sophisticated casting process. Liquid materialsspecifically formulated by Titleist R&amp;D are combined and react to form the solid cover. This urethane is termed &ldquo;thermoset,&rdquo; meaning that the cover, once formed, will not re-melt. Most competitive urethane-covered golf balls use a thermoplastic urethane (TPU), supplied by an outside vendor and usually formulated for another non-golf product, which is melted and then reformed to create the cover.&ldquo;Thermoset urethane is very difficult to work with, but it gives us complete control of the chemical composition. It&rsquo;s essentially a little chemical plant right in the mold, compared with using an off-shelf material like TPU. This allows us to dial in our desired properties of spin control, softness and durability,&rdquo; said Michael Sullivan, Vice President, Titleist Golf Ball Product Development. &ldquo;We do a lot of testing. We test the urethane on the ball and test it off the ball. In fact, we do so much material testing before it even gets onto a golf ball that by the time it does, we have a solid understanding of how it&rsquo;s going to react. With the new 2015 models, we tested hundreds of formulations. You simply can&rsquo;t do that with TPU. In the end, our iterative prototyping process ultimately improves performance for golfers.&rdquo;&ldquo;We&rsquo;re giving golfers everything they&rsquo;ve previously had in Pro V1 and Pro V1x with some enhancements,&rdquo; Morgan said. &ldquo;They&rsquo;ll get the extraordinary distance and ball flight they&rsquo;re accustomed to. But they&rsquo;ll also get a softer cover, which will add more spin control and feel around the greens. The feedback we&rsquo;ve received on tour and with club professionals and amateurs clearly tells us that players are benefiting from this improved performance.&rdquo;New Pro V1 and Pro V1x also maintain their long-lasting durability. The new urethane cover, combined with the improved paint system that debuted on the 2013 models, keeps Pro V1 and Pro V1x whiter and brighter longer throughout the course of play. The cover and paint system also contributes to an aerodynamically more consistent golf ball. &ldquo;The breakthrough we made in durability with 2013 Pro V1 and Pro V1x really opened up the doors for us in terms of experimentation with our cover formulation. Our urethane is so resilient that as we softened it, we were able to increase short game spin and enhance the feel while maintaining its abrasion resistance,&rdquo; Morgan saidCHOOSING BETWEEN PRO V1 AND PRO V1x: Titleist provides two distinct performance options within the 2015 Pro V1 family. Both Pro V1 and Pro V1x deliver extraordinary distance, the best scoring performance for all golfers, and long lasting durability, yet differ in feel, long game spin and flight.Pro V1 has a softer feel, slightly more long game spin and a more penetrating trajectory for a shallower angle of descent for more roll than Pro V1x.Pro V1 is a three-piece, multiple component technology with a very soft compression ZG process core, ionomeric casing layer, softer thermoset urethane elastomer cover, and spherically-tiled 352 tetrahedral dimple design.Pro V1x has a slightly firmer feel and lower long game spin and launches higher with a steeper angle of descent than Pro V1.Pro V1x is a four-piece, multi-component technology with a ZG process dual core, ionomeric casing layer, softer thermoset urethane elastomer cover and spherically-tiled 328 tetrahedral dimple design.PLAYER VALIDATION: Player testing drives the development of new Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls. Titleist R&amp;D&rsquo;s iterative process of listening to players&rsquo; needs, testing prototypes and making further refinements ensures that each new version delivers meaningful performance improvements to golfers. Once a final prototype is selected, its performance is validated by players on the PGA Tour and across the worldwide professional tours, as well as PGA professionals, competitive amateurs and golfers of all skill levels.At last weekend&rsquo;s Sony Open in Hawaii, Jimmy Walker trusted 2015 Pro V1x to rounds of 66-66-62-63 for a nine-stoke victory. A week earlier, Walker teed up new Pro V1x for the first time at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, where he finished runner-up. Over those eight rounds, Walker made 52 birdies and hit 84 percent of greens in regulation. At Hyundai, Walker played a total of four golf balls &ndash; one per round. He also played only one new Pro V1x over his final 18 holes at Sony.&ldquo;I love the performance of the new Pro V1x. It has the perfect ball flight that I am seeking &ndash; nice and tight off the driver, fairways and long irons, and very controllable off the wedges,&rdquo; Walker said. &ldquo;I have confidence that it will perform on every shot. In fact, I put some new Vokey SM5 wedges in the bag at Hyundai, and I kept looking at my ball to see if it needed to be switched out, but it never did. The ball has great feel and is extremely durable. It&rsquo;s the best I&rsquo;ve ever played.&rdquo;At the Australian Open last November, Jordan Spieth trusted the new Pro V1x golf ball to what he called &ldquo;the best round I have ever played&rdquo; &ndash; a final-round 8-under 63 to win by six shots. Spieth&rsquo;s round set the course record on a gusty day at Australian Golf Club, leading several media members to suggest it may have been the best round in the event&rsquo;s 110-year history.&ldquo;It obviously performed well,&rdquo; Spieth said after the round. &ldquo;I used the same ball the entire day todayand it still flew perfectly. The changes to the new golf ball have been big for me and I&rsquo;ve been playing well since changing.&rdquo;Seven days and over 10,000 miles later, Spieth was on the 18th green at Isleworth Country Club in Florida, tapping his new Pro V1x in for par and a 10-shot victory at the Hero World Challenge after rounds of 66-67-63-66.The tour seeding and validation process for the new Pro V1 and Pro V1x models began in October at the PGA Tour&rsquo;s Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in Las Vegas &ndash; the same city where the original Pro V1 prototype debuted in 2000.A few weeks later, Bubba Watson put new Pro V1x in play for the first time at the WGC-HSBC Championship in China. In the final round, Watson holed a 60-yard bunker shot for eagle on 18 to force a playoff. On the first playoff hole, he rolled his 2015 Pro V1x in from 20 feet for birdie to win.The following Sunday, Charley Hoffman, playing 2015 Pro V1x, shot a final-round 5-under 66 to win the OHL Classic at Mayakoba, closing out the calendar year on the PGA Tour.To date, more than 100 players across the worldwide professional tours have put the new models in play, including Adam Scott, Ian Poulter, Hunter Mahan, Marc Leishman, Bill Haas, Geoff Ogilvy, John Senden, Brendon Todd, Jamie Donaldson, Thongchai Jaidee and Padraig Harrington, who teed up 2015 Pro V1x for the first time in his victory at the Indonesia Open. The last two weeks, Gary Stal (Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship) and Andy Sullivan (South African Open) also trusted new Pro V1x to their first European Tour victories.In addition to tour professionals, more than 4,000 PGA professionals participated in the R&amp;D testing process for 2015 Pro V1 and Pro V1x. More than 45,000 golfers of all skill levels around the world also received prototypes and reported their feedback through Team Titleist. One test conducted with more than 6,000 Team Titleist members in March 2014 was instrumental to Titleist Golf Ball R&amp;D in defining the final specifications of new Pro V1x.WHAT PLAYERS ARE SAYING:Jordan Spieth: &ldquo;The 2015 Pro V1x is very much an improvement for me just as each version has really improved. This one&rsquo;s better for me because that softer cover around the greens allows me to have more spin control and softer feel, without jeopardizing any distance or spin with the long clubs. It&rsquo;s still long off the tee with more control around the greens. &hellip; Pro V1x] feels really nice, like it&rsquo;s sticking to the club face more, which I like. It allows my short irons and wedges to spin a little more which is always nice around the greens, to be able to fly it closer to the hole and have it drop and stop.&rdquo;Bubba Watson: &ldquo;I first tried the new ball two weeks prior to going to China. I loved it and put it in play right away. It has all the great qualities of the previous generation Pro V1x with improved feel around the greens, which is exceptional. It even goes a little further for me off the tee.&rdquo;Hunter Mahan: &ldquo;The new ball feels great. It has the performance and flight characteristics I&rsquo;m looking for with all my full shots, and I&rsquo;ve picked up more spin on my 30-40 yard pitch shots. Overall, I&rsquo;m getting better performance into and around the greens, and still have the flight, trajectory and control I need on full shots.&rdquo;Bill Haas: &ldquo;The first time I tried the new Pro V1x I immediately noticed a softer feel with my irons and wedges. The softer feel provides me slightly more spin around the greens and gives me the added confidence that I can get the ball to stop the way I need it to. For me, more confidence leads to better scoring. I still get the long game performance I need as well with the proper amount of spin and control.&rdquo;Charley Hoffman: &ldquo;I put the new Pro V1x in play immediately after my first day of testing. It has all the great characteristics of the 2013 model off the driver and irons with a slightly softer feel around the greens. It&rsquo;s extremely hot off the driver with the feel of the Pro V1 around the greens. When I won at Mayakoba, the new ball stood up to all the tests. It performed great in the rain on Saturday and unbelievable in the wind on Sunday.&rdquo;Marc Leishman: &ldquo;The new ball still has the firm, solid feel and penetrating flight off the tee, but is noticeably softer and spins more with half shots and chip shots. I feel like I&rsquo;m getting the best of both worlds &ndash; long off the tee and workable around the greens.&rdquo;Padraig Harrington: &ldquo;I used the new Pro V1x for the first time during my victory in the Bank BRI Indonesia Open. After some testing on the practice days, I put the ball straight into play and found it to be a seamless switch. I loved the feel and felt that the ball was spinning a little more around the greens, whilst being just as long off the tee. In fact the last time I switched to a new version of the Pro V1x ball (during the 2011 tour seeding process) I also won in Asia the first week out.&rdquo;Ian Poulter: &ldquo;The new Pro V1x gives me a softer feel and better performance around the greens. I&rsquo;m able to execute all the shots and the ball feels great. I also picked up some ball speed with the driver during testing, so I&rsquo;m getting a little more out of it off the tee.&rdquo;PRICE AND AVAILABILITY: New 2015 Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls will be available in golf shops beginning Jan. 30, 2015, with a MAP of $47.99 ($62 MSRP).PLAY NUMBERS: 2015 Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls are available in both standard and custom play numbers.

Little did he know he would have to endure two rain delays during the final round, including one of nearly an hour as he played the 18th hole clinging to a one-shot lead.But the additional wait only added to the drama as he returned to the 18th, where he drained a 27-foot birdie putt to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. The win was his fourth top 10 in his last four events.He captured the title with a final-round 8-under 64 to win by a shot, tying the course record at TPC Louisiana. The winning putt on the 72nd hole was his ninth birdie of the day. He was 20-under on rounds of 67-71-66-64. His breakthrough win earned him a Masters invite and vaulted him to third in the FedExCup Points race.Horschel, 26, made his charge up the leaderboard starting at the seventh hole, where he began a string of six straight birdies (and seven of eight holes), tying the PGA Tour mark this season.But it was his long, clinching putt on the 18th green that brought out the emotion. He held his head in his hands, his face concealed by his PING hat. 鈥淚 was shaking a little. It all came out, I just let it go, I wanted to win so bad,鈥?said Horschel, who extended his PGA Tour-leading streak of consecutive cuts made to 23. 鈥淚鈥檝e been so close the last two weeks. The win is huge for me but it also means a lot to all the family and friends who鈥檝e supported me so much since I was little.鈥滺e relied on a G25 driver, G25 3-wood and 5-wood, S56 irons, Tour Gorge wedges, and a Redwood Piper putter. Horschel earned more than $1.1 million, bringing him to more than $2.5 million for the year and placing him third on the PGA Tour money list.
