Titleist golf ball loyalist Zecheng Dou (Pro V1x) made history on Sunday, becoming the first Chinese player to win on the Web.com Tour as he captured the Digital Ally Open by three shots.

“It’s a big honor, representing China and getting to play with the best and learning from them and competing,” Dou said. “It feels amazing right now. I never thought I could win this year and then it just happened and I’ll just take it.”

Playing the Nicklaus Golf Club at LionsGate in Overland Park, Kansas, the 20-year-old fired a 10-under-par 61 on Saturday, followed by a closing 5-under-par 66 en route to a 25-under-par 259 victory total.

Nicknamed “Marty” on Tour, Dou topped a leaderboard in which each of the top seven finishers relied upon Titleist golf balls for their success.

Dou’s maiden win vaults him to No. 15 on the Web.com Tour earnings list, assuring him a PGA Tour card for next season.

Congratulations, Zecheng!
