2003 PLAYERS champion

May. 5, 2008

TOURNAMENT RECAP: Love became the fifth multiple winner when he earned his second PLAYERS title with a six-shot victory over Jay Haas and Padraig Harrington. Love tied Couples' low final round with an 8-under 64 in cool and rainy weather. He didn't three-putt the entire week and twice had a stretch of five straight birdies including Sunday from Nos. 8-12. Love became the fourth champion in a row to win after coming from behind. "It was a heck of a day," said Love. "Six birdies and an eagle in those conditions was not what anybody was expecting. I don't think I've ever done a better job."
