SUNRIVER – Fred Funk won the Jeld-Wen Tradition on Sunday for the second time in the past three years.
The 54-year-old took the lead for good with a 15-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole at Crosswater Golf Club.
Robinsonville, MS (August 8, 2010)… Russell Knox of Scotland carded a bogey free seven-under par 65 at Tunica National Golf Club in the final round of The Gold Strike Casino Golf Classic and to capture his second career NGA Hooters Tour title.
AVONDALE, La. – For Jason Bohn, the second time was even better.
Bohn won the Zurich Classic on Sunday for his second PGA Tour title, birdieing three of the final four holes at TPC Louisiana for a 5-under 67 and a two-stroke victory over Jeff Overton.
ORLANDO — He’s not exactly the bionic man or anything like that. But Fred Funk is sporting a brand new metal-and-plastic right knee these days.
Funk, who is playing in the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard this week, had the total replacement on Nov. 16. He returned to competition the second week of February and has played in four events so far — three on the Champions Tour and one on the PGA TOUR.
MARANA, Ariz. (AP) — The trophy Ian Poulter is taking home from the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship is called the “Walter Hagen Cup.”
For his first victory on American soil, perhaps that’s only fitting.
Brian Stuard had his best showing yet in his brief PGA Tour career at the Mayakoba Classic, firing a 5-under-par 66 Sunday to charge from 10th place to a tie for second place, two strokes back of winner Cameron Beckman.
Hilton Head Island, SC – Scotland’s Russell Knox unknowingly began the final round of the eGolf Tour’s Palmetto Hall Championship in a tie for the lead with Canada’s Matt McQuillan following rounds of 73-68-69—210. By the time he reached the tee of the watery par-3 16th, he was fully aware of his status atop the leaderboard. A mere three holes later, he solidified victory and claimed the largest check of his professional career.
Ian Poulter’s runner-up finish at the Abu Dhabi Championship propelled him into the world top-ten for the first time in his career.
Not every professional golfer becomes an immediate success, traversing the world in a fleet of private jets while sipping the finest champagne with a bevy of bikini models.
Take Kevin Streelman, for example. The second-year PGA Tour pro can recall spending long days as a caddie at prestigious Whisper Rock GC in Scottsdale, Ariz., home to many elite-level players.
He’s up by two strokes going into this final week, but it might as well be 22.
All Kevin Streelman wants to do is stand up, hit two good shots every day at the Magnolia Course’s 17th hole and bury one of those birdie putts. He does that, it’s over — regardless.
