"I'm just very excited about my first win. It wasn't easy. Nick (Watney) was coming right behind me. It looked like any time he was going to make a move, and I tried the best that I could to stay one step ahead of him. I think the putt on 17 basically sealed the deal for me." ~Kevin NaTommy Gainey and Paul Goydos tied for third. David Hearn, Carl Pettersso, Jhonattan Vegas, Tim Herron and Spencer Levin were the next tier back. European Tour - Dunhill Links Championship Meanwhile across the pond in St. Andrews, the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship was contested. The field was full of golf's biggest names. Many of those big names like Luke Donald, Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell and Padraig Harrington were in contention in the final round. Despite the big names in atop the leaderboard, a relative unknown from Northern Ireland named Michael Hoey recorded a two shot victory over surging fellow countryman Rory McIlroy. Watching the tournament was as fun for the level of play, as it was seeing three of the top golf courses in St. Andrews: The Old Course, Kingsbarns and Carnoustie.

Earlier this year was one of the low points of Kevin Na's eight year PGA Tour career, when he carded a 16 on the par-4 ninth hole at the Valero Texas Open. Little did he know that the highest point of his PGA Tour career would happen just a few months later. Na notched his first Tour victory by two shots over Nick Watney after birdieing holes 15-17 in the final round of the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. Na was tied with Watney coming into the final round.
