Earned his first career win with a come-from-behind victory at the weather-delayed TPC Stonebrae Championship. Fired a 4-under 66 in the final round to finish at 10-under 270, one better than Matt Harmon, Duffy Waldorf and Paul Haley. Survived a crazy week in Northern California, which saw the tournament delayed by fog and rain three of the four days. He also locked his keys in his car early Thursday morning on the way to the course and then left his wallet at a gas station Friday, but when he returned to retrieve it it was gone. Says he played "smart golf" Sunday as third-round leader Tyrone Van Aswegen faltered, and none of the nearest challengers were able to make a move. Hit 14 of 18 greens on the last day and finished the week No. 2 in Total Putts. Victory was worth $108,000 and moved him to No. 4 on the money list at the time. Was T4 at the inaugural Chile Classic. Failed to muster a charge on the final day and wound up six strokes back of winner Paul Haley. |
