TIGER
REIGNS AT PEBBLE BEACH
Relies
Upon Full Bag of Titleist Equipment for
Sixth Consecutive US Tour Victory
While
the rains at Pebble Beach delayed the final round of the AT&T
National Pro-Am until Monday, it didn’t stop Tiger Woods from rallying
from seven shots down with seven holes to go to win the event in
electrifying style. It marked the sixth straight victory for Tiger,
who won the final four events of 1999 and the season-opener, the
2000 Mercedes Championships. He has also won eight of the last
nine events in which he has played.
The
momentous performance of Tiger’s final 8-under par round 64 included
an eagle, birdie, par, birdie finish, which he accomplished while
trusting his Titleist equipment from tee to green. Tiger relies
upon the advanced liquid filled centre wound technology of the Titleist
Professional golf ball; the solid, consistent feel and performance
of Titleist irons, Titleist Titanium 975D driver, Titleist 3-wood
and Vokey Design wedges; and the soft feel and precision of the
Scotty Cameron by Titleist Pro Platinum putter. The turning point
of his final charge was an eagle he recorded on the 15th hole
from 97 yards with a Vokey Design wedge. He nearly holed out another
wedge shot on the 16th hole.
While
Tiger’s miraculous 17th career victory was in doubt until the event’s
final hole, there was no question that Titleist would be the ball
of choice for the winner. Titleist players owned the top three
positions as Vijay Singh (Titleist Professional) and Matt Gogel
(Titleist Tour Balata) tied for second, two strokes behind Tiger’s
winning 15-under par 273 score.
Tiger’s
win continues the momentum of Titleist’s golf ball success, marking
the fourth victory for Titleist through the first five PGA TOUR
events this season. Tiger’s $720,000 winner’s cheque also vaults
him over the $1 million mark in just two events this year. More
players, more wins, more money.
