“That’s the fastest my heart has ever been beating on a golf course. It was just so exciting.”

So said Titleist Brand Ambassador Daniel Nisbet (Pro V1) after he eagled the first hole of a sudden death playoff to capture the Clearwater Bay Open and his first career PGA TOUR China crown.

“I knew that if I controlled the speed of the putt that it would go in,” Nisbet said of the ten-foot putt that sealed the victory. “I was a little bit excited as I put a good score together and then found out I was in a playoff, so there were a lot of emotions running through my body.”

The Aussie, who started the day four shots off the lead, closed with a 6-under-par 64 to finish with a 15-under-par 265 total in regulation.

Titleist golf ball loyalist Charlie Saxon (Pro V1x) fired a final round 5-under-par 65 to race up the leaderboard and finish solo third, one shot out of the playoff.

Nisbet topped a leaderboard that included eight Titleist players among the 11 who finished in the top 10 and ties.

Congratulations, Daniel!

TITLEIST BY THE NUMBERS

Titleist was the overwhelming field favorite in golf balls at the Clearwater Bay Open with 83 players trusting a Pro V1 or Pro V1x, more than five times the nearest competitor with 16.

The win was the 8th for Titleist golf ball loyalists through the first 10 events on this season’s PGA TOUR China.
