USA win the Presidents Cup with 8 team members trusting Titleist

The United States took home the Presidents Cup, 18.5 to 11.5, with  eight of the 12 players on the winning roster gaming a Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball. That includes  Patrick Cantlay, who earned a team-leading (T1) four points (4-1-0) with his Pro V1x, capped by a 3-and-1 victory in his Sunday singles match. Cantlay, who played all five sessions, finished the week second in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green (+2.54), according to Data Golf.

Titleist drivers (5 players), irons (5), and wedges (9) were also the top choice of the U.S. side.

Nine of the 12 players on the United States had at least one Vokey wedge in the bag, with Vokeys making up 24 of the 35 gap, sand and lob wedges in play for the U.S.

Russell Henley  earned 3 points (3-1-0) in his Presidents Cup debut, while leading the event in SG: Putting (+3.87), according to Data Golf. Henley, who games a Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5 tour prototype model, is second this season on the PGA TOUR in 3-Putt Avoidance (0.99%), having recorded just 13 three-putts over 1,314 holes.

Max Homa  – playing a  Pro V1x golf ball  and equipment setup that includes his  GT3 driver, blended set of Titleist irons (T100•S/T100/620 MB) and Vokey SM10 wedges  – improved his Ryder Cup/President Cup singles record to 3-0-0, gaining an event-best +4.16 strokes tee to green in Sunday singles, according to Data Golf.
