Just two weeks after winning his first career European Tour title, 23-year-old Titleist golf ball loyalist Thomas Pieters (Pro V1x) captured his second, edging Titleist Brand Ambassador Lee Slattery (Pro V1x) and Titleist golf ball loyalist Eduardo De La Riva (Pro V1x) by one shot at the KLM Open.

Pieters, who won the Czech Masters last month, fired a final round 5-under-par 65 en route to a 19-under-par 261 victory total, while De La Riva moved up the leaderboard with a closing 63.

Slattery, the joint overnight leader, was trying to win back-to-back tournaments after capturing the M2M Russian Open last Sunday.

Titleist golf ball loyalist Fabrizio Zanotti (Pro V1), who also posted a final round 63, finished another shot back, as the top four finishers all relied upon Titleist golf balls for their success.

THE COUNTS:

Titleist golf balls were the top choice of more players in the field of 156 with 110, nearly six times the nearest competitor with 19.

Pieters’ win marks the 18th by Titleist golf ball loyalists on the 2014-15 European Tour, more than double the nearest competitor with 7 and more than all other golf balls combined.
