KUCHAR TAMES TPC SAWGRASS WITH NEW TOUR B330-S


Kuchar Relies on Bridgestone Equipment In PLAYERS Championship Title Run

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FLORIDA – On Mother’s Day, May 13[SUP]th[/SUP], Matt Kuchar delivered a gift to his wife and Mom that they will never forget, a PLAYERS Championship title. And a million-dollar smile to celebrate the win! Kuchar’s joyful victory also marked an important occasion for Bridgestone Golf, as it was the first PGA TOUR win for Bridgestone’s new 2012 TOUR B330-S golf ball, featuring the company’s proprietary Dual Dimple Design cover.

In his PLAYERS triumph, the biggest of his career to date, Kuchar relied on a deft short game, precision iron play, unflappable resolve and an enviable countenance down the stretch to outlast one of the toughest fields in golf this year, finishing at 13-under par – two better than his nearest competitor. Down the stretch, Kuchar trusted his J40 Cavity Back irons and new TOUR B330-S ball to hit an incredible 9 out of 9 greens in regulation on the Back 9 at Sawgrass.

“To win the PLAYERS Championship against what is probably the toughest field in golf is just an unbelievable feeling,” said Kuchar. “I was able to really pull off some big shots out here all week. Those Bridgestone balls, they just listen.”

The enhanced precision and feel of the new Bridgestone TOUR B330-S ball was on full display at Sawgrass as Kuchar finished the tournament T3 in Birdies (22), T3 in Greens-in-Regulation (73.6%) and #1 in Proximity to the Hole (a measure of the distance from the hole that approach shots finish).

Kuchar earned $1.71 million (golf’s biggest single event payday) for the win and vaulted himself into the 6[SUP]h[/SUP] position in the 2012 FedEx Cup standings and 5[SUP]th[/SUP] in the Official World Golf Rankings.

Think that's what TMex did order. The lowly ball strikers like me are going DPC's baby.
 
another great win by the Kuch! i played the Tour B330 RXS on Saturday!
 
Congrats Kuch and Bridgestone!
 
I enjoyed watching him win, even though I heard a spoiler before I had a chance to watch it last night. His boys running onto the green for the big hug was awesome.
 
I've been really impressed with the way Kuchar gets himself around the course. Very consistent from tee to green and pretty long too.

It's not everyday you see a tour player smiling everytime the camera catches him. Congrats to Matt on the very solid week of golf!
 
Awesome picture for one and congrats again to Bridgestone and Kuch!! He played so well.
 
Huge win for Kuchar. I'm rewatching the final round on DVR now and he played some steady/great golf. I hope this catapults him to more success in big events.
 
Congratulations to Matt. I like the black CB irons.

I noticed that in the coverage and said something in the tourney thread. Are they the black oxide finish that we see on the wedges? If so, I want....in a bad way.

It's a raw finish I believe. Pure awesome looking.

I was just about to ask if those are something possibly coming to the market and if they were available to Bridgestone staffers. Guess that answers my question. A black finish certainly would look suh-weet!
 
Glad to see Kuch and Bridgestone get a win. I like the 330-S. A very good ball for sure.

No idea and highly doubtful.....but I would not complain if my DPC's *accidentally* came in black oxide. Just saying. :D
