Carmel, Ind. – There was no Sunday swoon, no catastrophic triple-bogey, nothing left to doubt or chance. Fred Funk wasn’t about to let another U.S. Senior Open get away.
Leaving the field behind, Funk shot a flawless final-round 65 at Crooked Stick Golf Club on Sunday, avoiding any speed bumps, slam-Funking his first national championship. Then, in typical selfless fashion, Funk used his first words for television to pay tribute to others, dedicating the win to Phil Mickelson, Ken Green, Chris Smith and “all the families” in the professional golf community that have suffered adversities this year.
