    You've reached the 18th tee at Royal Birkdale needing a par to bring home the Claret Jug.

    Standing between you and the clubhouse is a demanding long par 4. The fairway is running firm, and a heavy breeze over your right shoulder is tempting you to be aggressive, but six fairway bunkers are waiting to punish anything less than perfect. Play conservatively and you'll face a long approach into a narrow, well-protected green.

    What's your play, Team Titleist?

    What Titleist golf ball are you teeing up? Are you taking driver and challenging the bunkers? Would you add a GTS300 Mini Driver, T250•U or U•505 utility iron to your equipment setup to tackle exactly this type of shot? Or committing to the stock shot you've trusted for years when everything is on the line?

    Walk us through your strategy. What Titleist club are you pulling, what shot are you hitting, and how are you bringing home the Claret Jug?

    With par needing to win, I would still go with my gameplan to start the round which means I'm playing to my strengths and trust the equipment I've put in the bag. I find that making adjustments in my round, especially on a crucial hole like the 18th, creates more problems. I like to keep my mind clear and approach each shot like it was something I've practiced many times before.

    Ball: ProV1
    Club off the tee: GT3...trusty and it works
    Approach shot: long to mid iron T350, the ProV1 should give me enough bite on the firm green. I'll likely hit short of the green and let it roll on for a nice 2 putt win. Team Titleist for the win!!!

    Gts 300 or a knockdown 7 wood and stripe one down there. Carry the 7 wood with me down the fairway and hit it again. On in 2 or easy up and down.
