This week the Tour Blog visits Big Sky Country, where the Nationwide Tour is contesting the Albertsons Boise Open.

Be sure to check out the photo gallery to see some Titleist players who arrived in Boise early on Monday to get a jump on the field.

Titleist on the Nationwide Tour

Titleist Pro V1 loyalist Camilo Villegas captured the BMW Championship, the third leg of the four-event FedEx Cup Playoffs, by closing with a 2-under 68 Sunday for a two-shot victory over Titleist brand ambassador Dudley Hart. Villegas finished at 15-under 265 as both players shot all four rounds in the 60s en route to the Titleist golf ball 1-2 finish. In addition to playing the Pro V1 golf ball, the champion also relied upon Vokey Design Spin Milled approach (54), sand (58) and lob (60) wedges, and a Scotty Cameron by Titleist Circa 62 #6 putter. Titleist was the most played golf ball at the BMW Championship with 48 players (70% of field), compared to nine for the nearest competitor. Villegas' victory was the 23rd for Titleist golf ball players on the 2008 PGA TOUR, more than twice the nearest competitor with 11, and more than all other golf balls combined. Titleist was also the top choice in the wedge (54) and putter (29) categories for the week.

Titleist brand ambassador Dudley Hart finished two shots behind Titleist Pro V1 loyalist Camilo Villegas at the BMW Championship over the weekend to move from 67th to 14th in the FedEx Cup Playoffs and earn a berth in the season-ending TOUR Championship. In addition to the Titleist AP2 irons (3-P, Dynamic Gold with Sensicore X-100) and Vokey Design Spin Milled wedges (56-10, 60-08, Dynamic Gold) Dudley has been using this season, he has also recently put into play the new Titleist 909D2 driver (9.5° Mitsubishi Diamana White 73 X-flex), 909F3 fairway (15°, Aldila VooDoo XVS9), 909H hybrid (19°, Aldila VooDoo XVS9 Hybrid), and Scotty Cameron Studio Select Fastback putter.

It's been a fairly quiet week here at the picturesque Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club in Switzerland, home of the Omega European Masters where Titleist brand ambassador Brett Rumford is the defending champion. With this fantastic setting in the Swiss mountainside, it's best to just let the pictures do the talking this week. Be sure to check out the photo gallery to see all of the amazing scenery.
