May. 5, 2008

TOURNAMENT RECAP: With the tournament moving to Sawgrass Country Club in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., the unsung Mark Hayes overcame the windy weather in the second round, named 'Black Friday,' which caused a tournament-record cut of 11 over. Hayes looked to be heading for a playoff with Mike McCullough at the final hole but he sank a 10-foot birdie putt and a two-stroke victory for a record 1-over 289 winning score.
