Tampa Bay Championship, Copperhead Golf Course at Innisbrook
Kevin Streelman turned pro in 2001, 12 years ago. He has kept at it; kept working on his game. Streelman had previously played in 152 PGA Tour events without a win, though he had racked up over $6 million in winnings. Through the 152 events, he'd logged only three top three finishes and no 2nd place finishes. With a final round 67, full of clutch shots, the experience finally paid off. Streelman won his 153rd PGA Tour start.
"That was really cool. I just stayed really patient, and I had a peace about me today." ~Kevin Streelman
Boo Weekly had the round of the tournament on Sunday. His final round 63 put him in the clubhouse waiting to see if anyone would challenge. That great round was enough to move him up to 2nd.
Champions Tour
Toshiba Classic, Newport Beach Country Club, Newport Beach, California
David Frost was hot at the Toshiba Classic. His final round 65 put him five shots ahead of Fred Couples. His winning total of -19 194 tied the record for lowest in the tournament (Jay Haas, 2007).
Frost led the tournament wire-to-wire for his fourth career Champions Tour win. Frost's play in four events this season has been brilliant, with all finishes in the top ten.
LPGA Tour
RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup, Wildfire Golf Club at JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge, Phoenix, Arizona
Stacy Lewis is the hottest female golfer on the planet. Lewis came back from a three shot deficit to win the RR Donnelley LPGA Founders Cup with a final round 64 (-8). The final round featured NINE birdies. That's half the holes folks. Impressive.
“It's awesome. I played great today. Myself and Ai we just went back and forth all day; she was making putts, I was making putts.” ~Stacy Lewis
This win marks the 2nd in two starts for Lewis, who won the 2012 Rolex Player of the Year on the LPGA.
European Tour
Avantha Masters, Jaypee Greens Golf Club, Delhi, India
Thomas Aiken's 3rd round 62 in the Avantha Masters was the highlight round for his victory this past weekend in Delhi, India. South African Aiken won by three shots over the nearest competitor with a final score of 23 under par.
