The win total continues to tower skyward for Titleist golf ball players as this week, four players on three different continents stepped into the winner's circle.
All told, players trusting their games to a Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball have now accumulated 198 wins across the worldwide professional tours during the 2018 season. That's more six times more wins than the nearest competing brand with just 33 and more than all competing brands combined.
Let’s take a look at this past week’s Titleist tour highlights…

Zunic put himself in position for the win following a third round 6-under-par 65 giving him a five-shot overnight lead.
Ten of the 12 players who finished among the top 10 and ties relied upon Titleist golf balls for their success.
