PGA TOUR

It was a Titleist Pro V1 1-2 finish at The Northern Trust where the winner closed with a 2-under 69 to finish at 16-under 268, one shot clear of runner-up Abraham Ancer. The event marked the start of the FedExCup Playoffs, and the winner vaulted from No. 50 in the standings to No. 2, just one spot behind the leader, a multiple major champion who also chooses to play the Titleist golf ball without an agreement.

• Four of the top five finishers relied upon Titleist golf balls for their success.

• Ancer, who also closed with a 69, advanced from No. 67 to No. 8 with his best-ever PGA TOUR performance. He played bogey-free over the final 12 holes … He is now a lock to make it to the TOUR Championship and earned a spot on the International team for the Presidents Cup, making him the first Mexican in the event.

Harold Varner III (Pro V1x), who started The Northern Trust at No. 102, finished in a tie for 3rd, one shot behind Ancer, and raced up the standings to No. 29. The performance gets him into the BMW Championship and a chance at the TOUR Championship, reserved for the top 30 following next week’s event.

Titleist Brand Ambassador Adam Scott (Click here to see his equipment) fired a final round 6-under 65 and finished solo 5th. He moved up seven spots to No. 14 and will be a lock for East Lake.
