Na ends PGA Tour winless skid

-

Kevin Na has broken a nearly sevenyear winless drought on the PGA Tour, shooting 6-under-par 64 Sunday for a five-stroke victory in A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier. Na birdied six of his first 10 holes to open up a big lead over third-round co-leader Kelly Kraft on the Old White TPC in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. The 34-year-old cruised from there and finished at 19under 261. Na’s only previous tour win came in Las Vegas in October 2011. “When I won (my first PGA Tour event), it took me eight years to win. And I said to everyone, ‘It’s not going to take eight years to win the second one.’ It took seven,” Na said with a laugh. Kraft shot 70 and finished second at 14 under. Brandt Snedeker (64) and Jason Kokrak (67) tied for third at 13 under. Kraft, Snedeker, Kokrak and Austin Cook earned spots in the British Open in two weeks.
