HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) - Boo Weekley won his second
straight Verizon Heritage - and didn't need any dramatic chip-ins
to do it.
Weekley captured his second career PGA Tour title at Harbour
Town Golf Links on Sunday, shooting an even-par 71 for a three-shot
victory over Anthony Kim (71) and Aaron Baddeley (69).
A year ago, Weekley needed miraculous chips on the 71st and 72nd
holes to edge Ernie Els by a stroke. In this one, Weekley took a
three-shot lead into the final round and watched it grow by mostly
staying trouble free, and seeing competitors struggle to try and
catch up.
"It was a lot easier than last year, wasn't it?" a smiling
Weekley said to his group on the 17th hole after his routine par.
