BACK-TO-BACK EQUIPMENT SWEEPS ON PGA TOUR:
After sweeping every major equipment count at 13 different PGA TOUR events in 2019, Titleist went back-to-back at last week’s Waste Management Phoenix Open, followed by another at this week’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
From golf balls, to drivers, fairways and hybrids, to utilities, iron sets, wedges and putters (tie), Titleist was the top choice of more players across every category.
LPGA:
Hee Young Park (Pro V1x) rallied in blustery conditions to win the women's portion of the ISPS Handa Vic Open in an all-Titleist three-way playoff.
Starting the final round three shots behind the overnight leader, Park topped Hye-Jin Choi (Pro V1) with a par on the fourth extra hole. So Yeon Ryu (Pro V1) was eliminated on the second playoff hole. All three players finished regulation at 8-under par 281.
The win marks Park’s third career LPGA victory and first since July 2013.
