Titleist Brand Ambassador Justin Thomas (Pro V1x) earned the 8th PGA Tour victory of his career on Sunday, making birdie on the first hole of a playoff with Titleist golf ball loyalist Luke List (Pro V1) to capture the Honda Classic.
Thomas, last year's FedExCup winner and Player of the Year, fired a 5-under 65 on Saturday - which tied for the low round of the day and the tournament. He followed up with a 2-under-par 68 on Sunday, as he and List both birdied the par-5 18th hole to separate themselves from the field with scores of 8-under-par 272 in regulation play.
With the victory, Thomas now rises to the No. 1 position in the 2018 FedExCup race.
Congratulations, Justin!

Justin's putting really took off last year, when he worked with Scotty Cameron to develop this Futura X5 model.13/13
Scroll to take a look inside Justin's current setup.1/13
One the greatest strengths in Justin's game is his driving and he produces his amazing combination of distance and accuracy with this 917D2.2/13
Justin adds .75° off loft with this D4 SureFit setting.3/13
For a 3-metal, Justin relies on this 917F2 model, neutral A1 SureFit setting.4/13
Justin also carries a 5-metal, this 915Fd model. His B3 SureFit setting adds 1.5° of loft to the standard 18° setting and also gives the club a little draw bias.5/13
Filling the gap after his 5-metal, Justin games a 718 AP2 4-iron, a club he used frequently off the tee at the Honda.6/13
Justin carries 718 MB (5-9) irons for maximum feel and shot-shaping ability.7/13
Transitioning between his 718 MB's to Vokey wedges, Justin starts with an SM6 46.08 pitching wedge. In working with Titleist Tour Rep. Aaron Dill, Justin found that bending his PW 1.5° filled his gaps out better and he benefited from the additional bounce. 8/13
The club Justin used to nearly hole his approach on the 72nd hole at the Honda - a Vokey SM5 52.12 gap wedge, bent slightly to add .5° of loft.9/13
Justin sand wedge of choice, a Vokey SM5 56.14 F-grind. Aaron Dill has modified this a bit, adding 1° of loft.10/13
For pitches and chips around the green, Justin relies heavily on this Vokey SM6 60.12 K-grind. Aaron Dill has modified this lob wedge, adding .5° of loft and reducing the effective bonce to 8°.11/13
Justin is also currently experimenting with a new Vokey Design SM7 60.12 D-grind.12/13
