Fairhaven, MA (June 9, 2008) - When 156 of the most accomplished professional and amateur golfers in the world gather at Torrey Pines to compete for one of the game's most prestigious titles, more of them will, once again, make Titleist their golf ball of choice.  It will mark the 60th consecutive U.S. Open at which Titleist has been the #1 ball, the longest running equipment success story in golf.

Year in and year out, the U.S. Open is considered one of the toughest tests in golf.  And each year, since the 1949 U.S. Open at Medinah, more players reaffirm that from tee to green, the superior performance and consistency of Titleist is preferred more than all others.  The last two U.S. Open champions, Angel Cabrera and Geoff Ogilvy, relied upon the Titleist Pro V1x golf ball to earn their first major titles.

Titleist continues to outperform all other golf balls on the 2008 PGA Tour with 13 wins year-to-date, more than twice the nearest competitor.  Across the worldwide professional tours, Titleist has been the choice of 74 champions, more than three times the nearest competitor with 20.
