D.J. Trahan wins the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic with Titleist January 20, 2008 Fairhaven, MA (January 21, 2008) - They took different paths to victory, yet D.J. Trahan and Martin Kaymer shared a common trust: Titleist Pro V1 golf balls. Trahan rallied from four shots back to capture the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic for his second career PGA Tour title, while Kaymer led wire-to-wire en route to his first career win at the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship. Kaymer also became the first player to win with the new Titleist ZM Forged irons. The performances marked a great start for Trahan, a breakthrough win for Kaymer and another championship Sunday for Titleist. TITLEIST HIGHLIGHTS FOR WEEK ENDING JANUARY 20, 2008 PGA TOUR: D.J. Trahan fired a final round 7-under 65 to charge from four shots back and win the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic by three strokes over the fourth round leader. Trahan birdied the final hole to finish the 90-hole tournament at 26-under 334. Pro V1x golf ball loyalist Kenny Perry, the 1995 champion, shot a final round 69 to tie for third at 338. In addition to the Pro V1, the champion relied upon the Titleist 905R (8.5) driver, 906F4 (13.5) 3-wood, Vokey Design Spin Milled sand (60) and lob (64) wedges and a Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 Tour putter for his success. Trahan finished T13 in Driving Distance with an average of 301.6 yards per drive, and led the field in putting, averaging 26 putts per round. Trahan's 7-under 65 matched the lowest final round of the day with Titleist ambassador Chez Reavie, who finished in a tie for 5th. Reavie plays the Pro V1x golf ball, as well as a Titleist 907 driver, 906 fairway metal, the new ZM Forged irons, Vokey Design Spin Milled sand and lob wedges and a Scotty Cameron GSS putter. Titleist was the most played golf ball at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic with 84 (66%) players, nearly five times the nearest competitor with 17. In addition to being the golf ball of choice, Titleist was the most played wedge (105) and putter (46) brand. It was a close second in drivers (31) and iron sets (26), including the new AP1 (Billy Mayfair), AP2 (Ben Crane, Bill Haas, Jon Mills, Mark O'Meara) and ZM Forged (Chez Reavie). PGA EUROPEAN TOUR: Titleist's newest brand ambassador Martin Kaymer earned his first career PGA European Tour title when he captured the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship in wire-to-wire fashion. The 23-year old, who was the 2007 European Tour Rookie of the Year, posted a 15-under par 273 total and a winning margin of four shots over two players ranked among the Top 20 in the Official World Golf Rankings, including Pro V1x player Lee Westwood. Kaymer became the youngest German winner in European Tour history and advanced to No. 34 in the World Rankings.
