Team Love wins Father-Son event

- From Miami Herald Wire Services

Davis Love III and Dru Love closed with a 16-under-par 56 in a scramble format to set two tournament records and win the PNC FatherSon Challenge in Orlando by three shots Sunday.

Team Love shot 27 on the front nine at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, took the lead with a birdie at No. 11 and finished off the record round with four more birdies and an eagle.

The 56 beat by one the record previously held by Raymond Floyd and his son in 1995, and by Bob Charles and his son in 1998.

John and Little John Daly shot 62 and tied for second with Retief and Leo Goosen and Stewart and Connor Cink.

Team Love finished at 26-under 118, breaking by one shot the record in the scramble format.

EUROPEAN TOUR

David Lipsky won the Alfred Dunhill Championsh­ip in Malelane, South Africa, on his first attempt as his final-round 68 gave him a two-shot victory over David Drysdale.

Lipsky finished at 14under 274 and kept his nerve at the end of his round to clinch a second career European Tour title. He made a doubleboge­y five on the 16th but a par on 17 and a birdie on the 18th made sure of the title for the American.

Scotland’s Drysdale had already finished by that time, with his 67 setting the target at 12under.

South Africa’s Zander Lombard (69) and Scott Jamieson (72), another Scot, finished in a tie for third — a shot behind Drysdale.

English pair Oliver Wilson and Ben Evans were another three shots back at 8-under.

Lipsky ended the year with his first win on the tour since the European Masters in 2014.

“To come off this year where I haven’t played that well and to finish it off like this, this win couldn’t be any better,” he said.
