LEGENDARY VICTORY FOR HAASTitleist Ambassador Captures Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf by Five Strokes (April 24th 2006) Fairhaven, MA - Titleist ambassador Jay Haas posted an eagle and three birdies on the back nine Sunday to pull away from the field and win the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf by five shots. Haas closed with a 5-under 67 to finish at 15-under 201, a new 54-hole record for the event, to earn his third career Champions Tour title. In addition to the Pro V1 golf ball, Haas relies upon a full bag of Titleist golf clubs, including the new Pro Titanium 905R driver, Pro Trajectory 904F 3- and 5-woods, prototype utility wood, Forged 690CB irons, Vokey Design sand and lob wedges and a Scotty Cameron by Titleist Laguna Midslant putter. Haas finished ahead of fellow Titleist ambassador and co-runner-up Peter Jacobsen who opted for the Pro V1x golf ball, Pro Titanium 905R driver, Pro Trajectory prototype 3-wood, Forged 704CB irons, Vokey Design Spin Milled sand and lob wedges, Scotty Cameron prototype putter. Following his victory, Haas credited his success, in part, to his switch to the new Pro Titanium 905R driver: "I switched to the Titleist 905R driver last week and that seemed to help me. I felt comfortable and capitalized on it by hitting some clutch drives. I made a lot of putts, too. You have to do that to win tournaments out here." Titleist was the most played golf ball at the event with 35 of the 49 (71%) players trusting their game to the Pro V1 or Pro V1x, compared to nine for the nearest competitor. Titleist golf ball players have won 7 of the first 8 events on the 2006 Champions Tour.
