Press Release: Hoffman trusts Titleist in stunning final round

HOFFMAN TRUSTS TITLEIST IN STUNNING FINAL ROUND

 

Titleist Ambassador Charley Hoffman fires a final round 62 to capture the Deutsche Bank Championship.

 

This week’s Deutsche Bank Championship was set alight by Titleist Ambassador Charley Hoffman who recovered a four shot deficit to claim his second career victory with a sensational 62. Hoffman staked his claim for the FedExCup title with an eleven birdie tally that tied the tournament record of 262 and catapulted him to second place, a move of 57 places in the FedExCup standings.
 
Hoffman trusted the feel and control of the Pro V1 golf ball and a host of Titleist clubs including; the new 910 D3 (9.5°) prototype driver, MB irons (3-9), Vokey Design wedges (48°, 56°, 60°) and Scotty Cameron Red X putter to craft a signature performance that will go down in PGA TOUR history. Four rounds in the 60’s (64-67-69-62) were capped with a sensational final round to close out the event in true style with a five stroke winning margin. Three players finished tied for second, five shots off Hoffman's pace, including Titleist Brand Ambassador Geoff Ogilvy (Pro V1) and Luke Donald (Pro V1x).  Ogilvy, who played alongside Hoffman on Monday, closed with a 5-under 66 and his runner-up finish moved him from No. 52 to No. 9 in the standings, assuring him a spot in The Tour Championship.

Hoffman's victory with Titleist's new 910 D3 prototype driver was the second win for the 910 prototype driver following Titleist Brand Ambassador Ross Fisher's victory last month on the European Tour, at the 3 Irish Open.   In fact, counting Hoffman, four players that finished among the top 5 and ties at the Deutsche Bank Championship relied on the Titleist 910 prototype driver, including Geoff Ogilvy and Adam Scott

Elsewhere on the Champions Tour Ted Schulz relied on the Pro V1x golf ball to win the Home Care & Hospice First Tee Open.  Schulz, in the field on conditional status, made the most of the opportunity, winning his first Champions Tour title and claiming his first professional win since 1991.

Titleist was the overwhelming golf ball of choice at The Deutsche Bank Championship with 64 players, more than seven times the nearest competitor with 9. The wins by Hoffman and Schulz advance Titleist's 2010 worldwide win count to 95, nearly five times the nearest competitor with 20.

Further strong performances from Titleist Ambassadors coupled with the constant flow of Pro V1 victories across worldwide professional tours continues to prove that the world’s best players opt for the matchless performance of Titleist.
