    Hey Team Titleist! 


    Masters week is here and a few of Team Titleist’s own rising stars are in the field. From their first stay in the famed Crow’s Nest to their opening tee shot Thursday, these Masters first-timers are continuing on the tournament’s rich amateur history. 

    All seven of the amateurs competing this week at Augusta are playing a Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball, with five of them trusting Titleist equipment throughout the bag.

    Here's a closer look:

    Harrison Crowe

    Bexley, AUS 

    Harrison Crowe booked his ticket to Augusta with his victory at the 2022 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship title, executing a spectacular up-and-down for par on the final hole to win by one shot. The 21-year-old arrives in Georgia with five wins and 10 top-10 finishes since 2021. Along with his AAC title, he also collected victories last year at the Australian Master of the Amateurs and the New South Wales Amateur.  

    We spent a day with the Bexley, Australia, native as he prepared to tee it up in his first major championship. Get to know Harrison, check out the adjustments he's making to his all-Titleist setup for this week, and watch to get a behind-the-scenes look at his road to Augusta National:

    Gordon Sargent

    Birmingham, AL 

    Receiving a special invitation to the 2023 Masters, 19-year-old Gordon Sargent is the No. 1 ranked amateur in the world. The Vanderbilt University sophomore capped off a freshman campaign for the books by winning the 2022 NCAA Individual National Championship. The Birmingham, Ala., native was named SEC Freshman of the Year, a Haskins Award Finalist, and First Team All-American. At the John Hayt Invitational in February, Sargent, now a sophomore, claimed his fourth collegiate title with a 15-under-par effort, making 19 total birdies along with an eagle at Sawgrass Country Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.

    Looking to see Sargent do well also. A rather great young collegiate amateur. One our many in the SEC, anchor down, Gordan.
  4. This is very nice, I actually would very much like to get this stuff because I'm just a beginner but I already feel mine is pretty bad, besides that fact this guy seems pretty good to me and I also being a college student can say that he associates me with paperap.com/.../ An Irish Airman Foresees His Death, because that one also was just as confident and did many nice things.
