PGA TOUR | World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba

Titleist Brand Ambassador Russell Henley cruised to his fourth PGA TOUR title Sunday at Mayakoba, closing in 1-under 70 for a four-shot victory.

  • Henley, gaming a Pro V1x golf ball and full bag of Titleist equipment, opened the week with consecutive 63’s on his way to setting the tournament scoring record at 23 under par.
  • He made 25 birdies (T1) over the four days in Mexico while playing his first 58 holes bogey-free, getting up and down 15 consecutive times during that stretch.
  • Henley, 33, led the field in driving accuracy (78.6%) while finishing second in both Scrambling (90.5%) and One Putts (42).
  • Said Henley: “I just feel the consistency throughout my bag is just unbelievable. Every club that I’ve hit, I don’t feel like I’ve ever hit a ball that’s gone way farther than I thought or way shorter. The distance control (with my Pro V1x) is outstanding. The spin around the greens is outstanding.”

POWER’S STRONG PLAY CONTINUES WITH NEW PRO V1x

  • Last week’s winner in Bermuda, Seamus Power, earned his second consecutive top-3 finish since making the switch to the NEW 2023 Pro V1x golf ball three weeks ago at the CJ Cup.
  • Power’s T3 finish Sunday moved him to the top of the FedEx Cup standings and inside the Top 30 of the Official World Golf Ranking (29th), the highest position of his career.
  • Power who posted four rounds of 68 or better this week in Mexico, led the field (T1) in Greens in Regulation at 77.8% while finishing T6 in Driving Accuracy (75%).
  • On Saturday, Power made an ace (on the 151-yard par-3 eighth) and two hole-outs (one for eagle on the 350-yard par-4 11th, one for birdie from the greenside bunker on the par-4 14th) on his way to an 8-under 63. Over the last eight rounds, he is a combined 37 under par.
  • “It’s been excellent,” Power said of his NEW Pro V1x. “I was delighted trying it [the week before CJ Cup], tested all week, loved it. Played lots of golf with it and very, very happy with it.
  • “For me, it’s very visual,” he said. “When I swing and it comes off the face, if it comes out in the trajectory I feel it should, that’s a big positive for me, and that’s what I saw immediately.
  • “It felt great off the tee with a little bit extra heat. If anything, I under spin my irons, so I’ve got that little bit extra spin (moving to Pro V1x). I didn't give up anything around the green. I didn’t feel any noticeable difference with the noise off the putter face, so it was an easy change for me. Very excited about it.”

LPGA TOUR | TOTO Japan Classic

Gemma Dryburgh (Pro V1x) claimed her first career LPGA title, playing her final eight holes in 5 under, including a birdie at the par-5 18th, to reach 20 under and win by four shots.

  • The Scotland-native hit 73% of her fairways and 81% greens in regulation, making just two bogeys the entire week at Seta Golf Course.
  • “This has been a dream of mine for a long time,” said Dryburgh, 29. “A lot of hard work has gone into this, so it means so much.”

Titleist golf ball player Bernhard Langer (Pro V1x) claimed the 44th PGA TOUR Champions title of his career Sunday, closing within one victory of the all-time record on the senior circuit.
