Titleist Brand Ambassador Adam Scott Captures The Barclays with Sunday Charge

Masters Champion Wins First FedExCup Playoffs Event Trusting Titleist from Tee Through Green

(Fairhaven, MA) - To be at your competitive best means never counting yourself out, giving everything you have until the final shot, and having total confidence in your equipment.  Titleist Brand Ambassador Adam Scott proved this and more at The Barclays on Sunday by rallying to earn his first career FedExCup Playoffs victory.  Relying upon the Pro V1 golf ball and a complete bag of Titleist equipment, the Masters champion fired a final round bogey-free 66 for his second win of the season, vaulting him to No. 2 in the Official World Golf Rankings. Superior tee-through-green performance when you need it most.  That’s why more of the world’s best trust Titleist.

Among the 123-player field at The Barclays, 79 players (64%) relied upon Titleist golf balls, more than four times the nearest competitor with 16.  Scott closed with a bogey-free, 5-under 66 en route to an 11-under par 273 victory total.  He finished one shot clear of four players, including fellow Titleist Brand Ambassador Graham DeLaet.  Other Titleist golf ball loyalists finishing among the top 10 and ties included D.A. Points (Pro V1x/T6 ), Rickie Fowler (Pro V1x/T9) and Jason Kokrak (Pro V1x/T9).

What’s in Adam Scott’s Bag?: Titleist Pro V1 golf ball, 913D3 driver (9.5), 910Fd fairway metal (13.5), 712U utility iron (2), MB irons (3-9), Vokey Design SM4 pitching (48) wedge, Spin Milled sand (54) wedge and TVD K-grind lob (60) wedge, Scotty Cameron by Titleist prototype Futura X long putter.
