Davis
Love III had a nice pitch shot on No. 18 and son Dru finished off the
birdie to capture the Father-Son Challenge title Sunday in Orlando, Fla.
With Larry and Josh Nelson already in at 22-under for the two-day
scramble format, both Loves misfired in trying to reach the green in two
at the par-5 finishing hole. Dru, an Alabama freshman who won five
Georgia state titles in high school, went long and right near the
grandstand at the Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes. Davis watched his ball roll
onto the bank of a greenside pond.
But the elder Love found the right touch on his pitch from Dru's position and his son made the winning putt.
The Loves teamed for an 11-under 61 in the final round.
Schwartzel romps to 12-shot win at Alfred Dunhill: In Malelane,
South Africa, Charl Schwartzel was the runaway winner for the second
straight weekend, coasting to a 12-shot victory at the Alfred Dunhill
Championship on the European Tour.
The 2011 Masters champion finished with a total score of 24-under 264 -
the lowest at Leopard Creek Country Club. He won by 11 strokes in
Thailand last weekend. The South African won for the eighth time on the
European Tour.
Schwartzel shot a 69 in the final round. The runner-up was Sweden's Kristoffer Broberg, who finished at 12 under.
Garcia wins in Malaysia: In Johor, Malaysia, Sergio Garcia won
the rain-shortened Johor Open, closing with an 11-under 61 for a
three-stroke victory in the Asian Tour's season-ending event.
The 32-year-old Spanish star finished at 18-under 198 at Horizon Hills
for his second victory of the year and 24th international title. He also
won the PGA Tour's Wyndham Championship in August.
Garcia had the lowest final round by a winner in Asian Tour history. He
birdied seven of the first nine holes to make the turn in 7-under 29,
added birdies on 13 and 14 before a long rain delay, then returned to
make it four in a row with birdies on 15 and 16.
American Jonathan Moore also shot a 61 to finish second.
Thailand's Thaworn Wiratchant finished fifth and won the Asian Tour money title.
John Daly finished with a 65 to tie for 15th at 8 under. South Africa's Ernie Els closed with a 72 to tie for 48th at 3 under.
Rookie takes Australian PGA: In Coolum, Australia, Australasian
Tour rookie Daniel Popovic completed an improbable wire-to-wire victory
in the Australian PGA, shooting a 3-under 69 for a four-stroke victory.
The Australian finished at 16-under 272.
Geoff Ogilvy failed to finish in the top three to ensure a top-50 finish
in the year-end world ranking and a spot in the Masters. He tied for
fourth.
