Titleist golf balls prominent in winner's circle on four pro tours

FAIRHAVEN, Mass. -- As event after event concluded across the
four major professional tours in action this weekend, the winner's circle
became filled with players trusting Titleist golf balls for their success.
Victories on the PGA, PGA European, LPGA and Nationwide Tours advanced
Titleist's worldwide win count to 117, that's 100 more than the nearest
competitor. The sweep featured playoff victories by Dean Wilson at The
International for his first career PGA Tour title, and full-line Titleist
staff player Simon Dyson at the KLM Open. Cristie Kerr and Kevin Stadler
rallied for one stroke wins at the Canadian Women's Open and Xerox Classic,
respectively. Four tours. Four victories. One ball. Continued proof
that when it comes to superior performance, Titleist is winning the world
over.

U.S. WOMEN'S AMATEUR: The 14-year old winner from Hilo, Hawaii, relied upon
the Pro V1x golf ball to become the event's youngest champion. The winner
did not lead in the 36-hole final until the 30th hole, winning 1-up.

Titleist was the golf ball of choice at the U.S. Women's Amateur by an
overwhelming margin of 138 to 8, more than 17 times the nearest competitor.
Titleist was also the choice of more players than any other brand in the
driver (39/25%) and wedge (119/33%) categories.
