PGA TOUR | RBC Heritage
Flighting his Pro V1x golf ball into the wind on Harbour Town’s par-4 18th, Matt Fitzpatrick took aim at the flagstick and watched his approach from 204 yards finish 13 feet, 4 inches from the cup on the first hole of a playoff.
- Fitzpatrick rolled it in for birdie to capture his fourth PGA TOUR victory and second RBC Heritage title in four years.
- His 2023 victory also came via a clutch playoff approach into 18, Fitzpatrick hitting his Pro V1x to within 12 inches for birdie on the third extra hole.
- Fitzpatrick emerged victorious from an all-Titleist golf ball playoff.
- The runner-up has used his Pro V1 golf ball, as well as a full set of Vokey Design wedges, for every one of his four majors and 20 PGA TOUR victories.
- Both players were among the overwhelming majority of competitors (54) who teed up a Titleist golf ball this week in Hilton Head.
- For the week, Fitzpatrick gained over 8 shots tee to green (+8.392/4th) with over five of them coming on approach shots (+2.659/12th) and around the green (+2.631/12th).
- He also finished the week T7 in Scrambling and got his Pro V1x up-and-down on six of seven attempts during the final round.
- His 21 birdies and one eagle led the field for most birdies or better by any player.
FITZPATRICK ON THE PERFORMANCE OF HIS PRO V1x
- “There’s obviously so many different variables with a golf ball. I’ve always been kind of a lower flight player but I am kind of high spin, so that’s where I feel like my game is at with the golf ball. To be able to rely on the golf ball and know that it’s going to do what I want it to do – have a consistent flight, consistent spin with every shot that I hit – that’s so important. Having that ability to know what your ball is going to do rather than second guessing makes a hell of a difference and obviously makes you more comfortable. And from there you’re going to hit better golf shots. I love the golf ball that I’m in, it just works perfectly for my game.”
- “The reason [Pro V1x] is so good for me is feel. I like the harder feel off the club face. I just feel like the spin’s consistent, the flight’s consistent, and that’s what you need in a golf ball. You don’t need it kind of in different windows. It’s nice to have that consistency to have the confidence in the golf ball to know how far it’s going to go every time, and to be within a really tight deviation is obviously so important. This is a game of inches after all, the margins are so fine you want it to be as tight as possible. So that’s why I play Pro V1x because it’s exactly that, you know what you’re going to get every shot and you don’t get any strange effects from shots.”
- “You just know, hitting other golf balls, that as soon as you’ve hit it, it doesn’t have the same effect. I’ve messed around with balls on the range when they’ve been mixed into the Pro V1x bag that I always go to grab, and they just get funky flights. I don’t know how you can play golf with that, to be honest, and not knowing what you’re going to get from shot to shot.”
- “I feel like, for me, the firmer the ball is, the more I can control the spin. That’s always nice for me (with Pro V1x), knowing that I can increase spin, and take spin off it. That’s been the big thing. I know for a fact I can flight the ball easy, much easier, up and down, with the ball that I use.
- “I’ve been Pro V1x ever since I was probably about 15. It was always the best ball. There was never anything else for me growing up, to be honest. That’s all I’ve ever known.”
