Jason Day kept it all in the Bridestone Golf family this past Sunday to win the AT&T Byron Nelson. Day on his 13th PGA Tour event with a Bridgestone Tour B X ball for a final round 62 and 23-under-par total at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas
Day originally tested and played with Bridgestone’s Tour B XS, which was designed with help from Tiger Woods and also played on Tour by the 15-time Major winner. While playing the XS, Day continued to work with Bridgestone ball fitters and eventually switched to the Tour B X, based on slightly lower spin rates and longer driver distance.
“I was impressed with how much spin Tiger was getting around the green and I wanted to play the same ball,” commented Day. “I loved the performance the XS gave me around the green, but after extensive testing with Bridgestone fitters, we found the Tour B X was a better all-around fit for my game. After experimenting with both models, I could see they were right and switched to the X – obviously the results speak for themselves.”
Day’s second career victory at the Byron Nelson and his first win on Tour since 2018. Day’s previous Tour wins include the PGA Championship, The Players Championship, The Arnold Palmer Championship, The Farmers Championship twice, The RBC Canadian Open and The Barclays.
“This is obviously a huge win for Jason and we congratulate him,” said Dan Murphy, Bridgestone Golf President and CEO. “It reminds me of when Tiger won the ’18 Tour Championship after four years without a win. Jason wanted to play the same ball as Tiger in part so he could get the same results, and with this huge win, he got exactly that. We’re excited about Jason’s game right now and know he’s got his eye on bigger things.”
The three-piece Tour B X golf ball used by the Australian native features Bridgestone’s game-changing REACTIV iQ cover technology, which he company allows for maximum speed and distance on long shots and superior spin and control and short shots.
