May. 5, 2008

TOURNAMENT RECAP: Tom Kite held off the challenge of Chip Beck, who scorched the back nine Sunday in 32 (after a front nine 41) and sank a 25-foot birdie putt at the last. But Kite, who had trailed Beck by a shot at the start of the round, held his nerve to knock in a 2-footer for a one-shot victory at 279.
