Bubba Watson Wins 2nd Green Jacket Trusting Titleist

Relies on Distance and Accuracy to Edge Fellow Pro V1x Loyalists Jordan Spieth and Jonas Blixt

(Fairhaven, MA) - Major championship golf requires great confidence under pressure and an uncompromising expectation of exceptional distance and precision control from your golf ball.  Bubba Watson flourished once again on golf's grandest stage, securing his second Green Jacket in three years, this time by three shots instead of a dramatic playoff, over fellow Pro V1x loyalists and Masters rookies Jordan Spieth and Jonas Blixt, who finished in a tie for second.  The win also marks Watson’s second of the year (Northern Trust Open) and the sixth of his PGA TOUR career.  Trust, consistency and control on every shot at the game's toughest tests.  It's why the overwhelming majority of the world's best players choose Titleist for their success.
