Sutherland wins Cup
Kevin Sutherland finally broke through on the PGA Tour Champions, taking the season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship — and the topping the yearlong competition, too. Sutherland closed a 5-under 66 on Sunday for a one-stroke victory over Vijay
Singh at Phoenix Country Club, the tree-lined course hosting its first tour event since the Phoenix Open left for TPC Scottsdale in 1988. John Daly (Dardanelle, Arkansas Razorbacks), who shot a 65,
David Frost (67), David Toms (67) and Lee Janzen (67) all tied
for third at 13 under. Bernhard
Langer, the winner of the first two playoff events, had a 64 to tie for 12th — five strokes back. Langer slipped to second in the season standings, missing a chance to win the title for the fourth consecutive year and fifth overall. Glen Day (Little Rock) finished with a 9-under 204.
