LAKEWAY, Texas (AP) - Denis Watson birdied the final hole Sunday
to win the FedEx Kinko's Classic, taking advantage of Nick Price's
back-nine errors.
Watson, from Zimbabwe, closed with a 3-under 69 to finish at 10
under. He earned $240,000 for his second victory of the year and
fourth overall on the Champions Tour.
Price, who shot a 75 to finish at 9 under, appeared to be in
control of the tournament through most of a clear and warm final
round. But double bogeys on 15 and 16 dropped him out of the lead,
and an 18th-hole par left him a stroke back.
Price tied for second with 2007 winner Scott Hoch (69) and Tim
Simpson (70).
Watson won the AT&T Classic in March in California. Last year,
he won the Senior PGA Championship and Boeing Classic.
Corpus Christi's Phil Blackmar shot a final round one under par
71 and finished at even par for the tournament. He finished ten shots back
of Watson.
