Pro V1x loyalist Luke Donald's march to victory last weekend at the PGA Tour finale at Walt Disney World can't be considered a fairy tale performance.

He's really that good. (And working hard to get better.)

Donald, the No. 1-ranked player in the world, rolled his Pro V1x golf ball in for six consecutive birdies on the back nine Sunday to shoot 8-under 64 and win the Children's Miracle Network Classic by two shots.

With the win, Luke also vaulted to No. 1 on the final PGA Tour money list, an almost expected outcome when you consider his consistency and proficiency around putting surfaces.

"Every year I look at the stats and figure out what I need to do to improve," Luke says.

Here's some proof:

• Luke led the Tour with a 68.86 adjusted scoring average, and was also tops in Final Round Scoring Average (68.06).

• He was No. 1 in the new Stroke Gained statistic (.844), which tracks a player's putting performance relative to his  competitors and ultimately shows how many strokes are gained or lost due to putting for a particular round and over the entire season.

• Luke was first in Approaches from 100-125 yards, averaging 16 feet, 4 inches from the hole.

• When faced with 5-10 footers, he rolled his Pro V1x into the hole a Tour-best 65.81 percent of the time.

• Luke also led in Three-Putt Avoidance at 1.24 percent.

• He averaged 2.97 on par-3s, 3.98 on par-4s and 4.55 on par-5s for the season.

• Luke was No. 2 in Proximity to the Hole from Sand, averaging 7 feet, 6 inches.

• He was also second in Scrambling from the Rough at 66.39 percent.

"I'm very, very excited about next year and even this off-season about trying to improve," Luke said after his round Sunday. "You know, there are certain parts of my game that definitely need some improvement. You know, hopefully that will lead to even more wins and more tournament victories."

In the above video, Luke talks Team Titleist about the importance of short game, tracking your statistics and making sure you have been fit for the best golf ball for your game.

The No. 1 player in the world, Pro V1x loyalist Luke Donald, put an exclamation point on the finest season of his career on Sunday, coming from five shots behind to win the Children's Miracle Network Classic. In the process, Donald also secured the PGA Tour money title, edging Titleist Brand Ambassador Webb Simpson, whom he trailed by over $300,000 coming into the final event of the 2011 season.

The season-ending win by Donald, the 32nd victory for Titleist golf ball players on the 2011 PGA Tour, marks his 4th career PGA Tour title and his second of the 2011 campaign (he also triumphed at the WGC- Accenture Match Play Championship).

Donald's charge to victory highlighted seven wins on the week for Titleist players across the worldwide professional tours – increasing Titleist's 2011 win count to 153, more than six times the nearest competitor with 23 and more than all competitors combined.

A total of 18,559 players have teed up Titleist golf balls in worldwide pro events this season, more than six times the nearest competitor with 2,900 and more than all other golf balls combined.

...

We're finally here: The final event of the 2011 PGA Tour season, the Children's Miracle Network Classic.

And as always, the pressure is high as players try to secure their 2012 PGA Tour cards by finishing inside the top 125 on the money list.

On the flip side, Titleist Brand Ambassador Webb Simpson and Pro V1x loyalist Luke Donald are also in Orlando, Fla., this week grappling for the No. 1 position. (Click here for your chance to win a Team Titleist prize pack featuring autographed items by both Webb and Luke.)

In other words, game on...

As he has graciously done throughout the year, photographer and Team Titleist member Greg Moore sent along some pictures from the practice rounds at Walt Disney World Resort to share with Team Titleist, which you can view in the slideshow below. (A few pics from our friends at ScottyCameron.com are also mixed in.)

Thanks Greg for all your great photos!

One of the keys to playing your best golf is learning to keep your club face stable through the impact zone.

Here today with a drill to help you improve your consistency in that area is PGA Professional Mark Blackburn, Director of Golf for Blackburn Golf and one of Team Titleist's newest contributors. Mark is also a TPI Certified Golf Fitness Instructor as well as the swing coach for several PGA Tour players including Titleist Brand Ambassador Robert Karlsson and Pro V1x loyalist Heath Slocum.

In the above video, Mark explains how placing a putter grip on an iron (aligned so the flat part of the putter grip is parallel to the leading edge of the club) can teach you to rely more on the rotation of your torso to square the club face at impact. (Note: This is for practice use only!)

Stay tuned for more video tips from Mark coming soon right here on Team Titleist.

Just before 8:20 Thursday morning, Titleist Brand Ambassador Webb Simpson and Pro V1x loyalist Luke Donald will step to the 10th tee at Walt Disney World's Palm Course, ready to hit their first tee shots in the last event of the 2011 PGA Tour season.

As you're probably aware, Webb and Luke are currently Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, on the PGA Tour Money List, each having entered this week's Children's Miracle Network Classic with an eye on the top prize.
