Press Release: Stricker Rises with Titleist to Claim the Deutsche Bank Championship

STRICKER RISES WITH TITLEIST TO CLAIM THE DEUTSCHE BANK CHAMPIONSHIP

 

Steve Stricker wins the second event of the 2009 FedEx Cup Playoffs and climbs to the top of the FedEx Cup rankings

 

Titleist Brand Ambassador Steve Stricker produced a birdie-birdie finish at TPC Boston to claim the Deutsche Bank Championship and climb to the top of the 2009 FedEx Cup rankings. Stricker’s final round 4-under par 67 gave him a 17-under par total which was enough to seal victory by one shot from fellow full-line Titleist player Jason Dufner and Pro V1 loyalist Scott Verplank. Victory in Massachusetts was the third of the year for Stricker, helping him climb to second place in the World Golf Rankings and top of the 2009 FedEx Cup Playoffs as Titleist continues to be the choice of champions.

 

Stricker trusted the superior performance of Titleist throughout his bag for his seventh career PGA Tour win, including the Pro V1 golf ball, 909D3 driver, 906F2 fairway metal, 909H hybrid, 755 irons, Vokey Design wedges. As well as claiming the top three spots on the leaderboard, Angel Cabrera (Pro V1x) and Padraig Harrington (Pro V1x) finished on 269, 15-under par to give the legendary Titleist Pro V1 family five of the top six finishers. The majority of the field also put their trust in the superior feel and control of the Pro V1 as 63 players teed up with Titleist, compared to 10 for the nearest competitor. Titleist also topped the counts for iron sets, wedges and putters respectively.

 

Elsewhere, on the Champions Tour, Pro V1 loyalist Jeff Sluman shot a final round 4-under par, 68, to claim the Walmart First Tee Open by two strokes from fellow Titleist golf ball loyalist Gene Jones (Pro V1x). On the Nationwide Tour, Titleist Brand Ambassador Troy Merritt beat Pro V1 loyalist Adam Bland in an all-Titleist play-off to claim his first Tour victory at the Mexico Open. On the Canadian Tour, James Love trusted the Pro V1x to claim the Canadian Tour Championship at the first extra hole. These wins across worldwide professional tours take Titleist’s worldwide win count for 2009 to 108, compared to 22 for the nearest competitor.

 

Another triumph for Titleist Brand Ambassador Steve Stricker who climbs to World No.2, as well as the constant flow of victories around the world for Pro V1 loyalists proves once again that the game’s elite continue to opt for the matchless performance of Titleist.
