v1 golf ballsSteve Stricker - 18th Hole - 2011 John Deere Classic
v1 golf ballsWhen veteran PGA player Steve Stricker moved up to the 18th tee on the John Deere Classic this season, he knew that they needed a birdie to win. Unfortunately, his tee shot strayed about 15 yards on the left of the fairway and settled two feet from the left edge of an enormous fairway bunker nearly 200 yards through the difficult Sunday pin placement. After assessing every one of his options, Stricker felt confident enough in the swing and his Titleist Pro v1 ball to set up for the flagstick and give his best effort at attaining birdie.
Together with his left foot in the white sand and his right foot gripping an edge of fescue grass beneath it, Stricker smoothly reared back and perfectly linked to his Titleist Pro v1, sending it toward the pin, where it landed a number of feet short and rolled past the hole onto a very non-threatening layer of fringe. After sticking a 185-yard fairway bunker shot to within 25 feet, Stricker's look at birdie was clearly better than even he had anticipated he'd get in the wake in the wayward tee shot. With cold water in his veins, Stricker curved his putt to the left edge of the opening, securing victory and sending notice for the golfing world that they was ready to assume the throne vacated by Sergio garcia.
Rory McIlroy - 8th Hole - 2011 U.S. Open
Depending on his world class skills and his unflappable mental approach, it could be surprising to learn that 2011 U.S. Open winner Rory McIlroy is merely 22 years old. Midway through his Friday round at the prestigious American tournament, the young Irishman had already pulled to -8 and was comfortably within the lead. Obviously dealing with what athletes reference as "the zone," McIlroy stood over his Titleist Pro v1 around the 354-yard Par-4 8th hole and put his signature sweet swing onto it. Frozen in anticipation, McIlroy watched because the shot sailed about 10 yards after dark pin and landed about the back edge of the green.
Benefiting from a substantial back-to-front slant, the ball trickled back toward the pin with the dedication of a loyal soldier, and after seven agonizing seconds fell in the right edge of the cup for an eagle two. The group surrounding the green erupted into approval, McIlroy pulled to -10 and the young man became a U.S Open champion several short days later.
