Adam Scott
Fairhaven, MA (April 15, 2013) - Exhibiting
unwavering confidence and
determination, Titleist Brand
Ambassador Adam Scott realized a dream on
Sunday with his sudden death
playoff victory at the
Masters. Trusting the New 2013 Pro V1 golf
ball and 913D3 driver along
with a complete bag of
Titleist equipment, Scott dramatically edged
New 2013 Pro V1x loyalist
Angel Cabrera on the
second extra hole. In addition to winning his
first career major, Scott made
history by becoming
the first Australian to take home the coveted
Green Jacket.

"We like to think we're the best at
everything," said Scott. "Golf is a big
sport at home, and this is
the one thing in golf we hadn't been able to
achieve. It's amazing that it's
my destiny to be the
first Australian to win. It's incredible."
Scott converted a 20-foot putt for birdie on
the final hole of regulation, only
to watch Cabrera
nearly hole his approach shot and tap-in for
birdie to force the extra
session. Replaying the 18th
as the first hole of the playoff, both players
got up and down for par with
close chip shots. On the
second extra hole, the 10th at Augusta
National, Cabrera's 15-foot putt for
birdie just missed,
setting up Scott's heroics. As daylight fell,
Scott drained a dramatic 12-
footer for birdie and the
historic and popular win.
Scott, playing with fellow countryman and
Titleist Brand Ambassador Marc
Leishman in the next to
last group, made his only bogey on the first
hole, closing with a 3-under par
69. Cabrera, in the
final group, shot a final round 2-under 70, as
both players finished at 9-
under 279. Cabrera was
the only player to shoot four consecutive
rounds under par. Leishman tied
for 4th, four shots out
of the playoff, and posted his best-ever finish
in a major championship.
* - Scott played the new Titleist 913D3 driver
for the first time in
competition this week. He
switched from the Titleist 910D3 driver and all
of his specifications
remained the same. Scott
stayed with 9.5 degrees of loft, an A-1
(neutral) SureFit Tour Hosel setting
and Graphite Design
Tour AD DI 8, X flex graphite shaft at 44.75”.
Adam worked with Titleist
Tour Representative Chris
Tuten on the Wednesday of the Tampa Bay
Championship to dial in a
precision fit. Adam did not
put the 913D3 driver into play in Tampa,
preferring to work with it during
his preparation weeks
leading up to the Masters. Adam came to
Augusta ready to put it in play
and was extremely
confident in his performance with it following
several practice rounds. Scott
cited that he was
getting a higher ball flight without increased
spin for longer carry distance
with the new driver
which would be beneficial to him at Augusta
National and going forward.
** - Scott also put a refined Scotty Cameron
by Titleist Futura X prototype
putter in the bag this
week. He has been working with Cameron
since December on the new long
putter that provides
the high MOI (Moment of Inertia) and path
that Scott was seeking. While
the design of the putter
creates a high MOI, Cameron took the putter
one step further by adding
more stability to the face
with perimeter weighting. High MOI combined
with perimeter weighting
gives this putter a very
unique feel and performance. The putter is
made out of aluminum and
includes a balance bar and
four tungsten weights that are positioned
under four adjustable stainless
steel weights in the far
four corners of the putter for maximum MOI.
The putter is 49" in length,
has a 79* lie angle and 3*
of loft.

MASTERS NOTES: The win is the ninth official
victory of Adam Scott's PGA
TOUR career (he also
won the 2005 Nissan Open that was reduced
to 36 holes) ... A true global
player, the victory marks
Scott's 20th worldwide as a professional ...
Scott, who has made 10 cuts in
12 career starts at the
Masters, posted his third consecutive Top 10
finish at Augusta (2013/1,
2012/T8, 2011/T2) and
fourth overall (2002/T9) ... Scott has played in
five PGA TOUR events in
2013, making the cut in
each, while posting three Top 10 finishes ...
He has finished in the top 15 in
each of his last six
starts in major championships ... Cabrera won
the 2009 Masters in a three-
way playoff ... Titleist
full product line Titleist Brand Ambassadors
have won three of the last four
majors (2012 U.S.
Open, PGA Championship, 2013 Masters),
while Titleist golf ball loyalists
have won four of the last
five, including Bubba Watson’s victory at the
2012 Masters ... In addition to
Scott, Cabrera and
Leishman, three other golf ball loyalists (Lee
Westwood/T8, John Huh/T11,
Tim Clark/T11) finished
among the top 12 and earned a return visit to
the 2014 Masters ... Clark,
who posted a 5-under 67
on Saturday for low third round of the
tournament, is also a Titleist Brand
Ambassador who relies
upon the New 2013 Pro V1, 913D3 driver,
913F fairway metal, 712U 4 iron,
CB irons, Vokey Design
SM4 pitching, sand and lob wedges.
STATS: One of the reasons Adam Scott won
his first Masters was the fact
that he led the field in
Greens in Regulation, converting on 55 of 72
shots for a 76.4% clip … Scott
was also among the
top 20 in Driving Distance with the new Titleist
913D3 that he was playing
for the first time in
competition. He finished at 293.8 yards per
drive, which was 7 yards more
than the field average
… While Scott led the field in Greens in
Regulation, fellow Titleist Brand
Ambassador Tim Clark was
tops in Driving Accuracy, splitting 47 of 56
fairways for a near 84% success
rate. His pinpoint tee
ball helped Clark finished T11 on the
leaderboard, securing a spot in next
year’s Masters … Another
Titleist Brand Ambassador and fellow Aussie
to Scott is Marc Leishman who
finished T4 on the
leaderboard and T5 in Putting Average with his
Scotty Cameron Tour Rat 2
prototype putter.
Leishman averaged 1.696 putts per hole on
the slick and undulating greens
of Augusta National.
EQUIPMENT COUNTS: Titleist was the most
relied upon golf ball in the field
of 93 with 52 players,
more than four times the nearest competitor
with 12. Titleist also was the
overwhelming choice in
the iron (19) and wedge (83) categories. The
win is the sixth by Titleist golf
ball players on the
2013 PGA TOUR, more than any other
competitor.
