FAIRHAVEN, Mass. -- It took sudden death to determine the
champion of the AT&T Classic, but there was no question Titleist would be
the winner's brand of choice. Zach Johnson topped fellow Titleist
ambassador Ryuji Imada with a tap-in birdie on the first extra hole, as
each relied upon the New Pro V1x golf ball and a bag of Titleist golf
clubs. It marked Johnson's second win of the year following his victory at
last month's Masters. Johnson, who also won this event in 2004, closed
with a 5-under 67 to match Imada's four-round total of 15-under 273. All
three of Johnson's career PGA TOUR victories have been contested in
Georgia. Another Titleist ambassador, Troy Matteson, tied for third place,
as three of the top five finishers trusted Titleist equipment for their
tee-to-green success.
