Kevin Na cruises to 4-shot Colonial win with final-round 66
Kevin Na birdied four of the first eight holes and shot a 4-under 66 to cruise to a fourshot victory over Tony Finau at Colonial on Sunday in Fort Worth, Texas.
The South Korean-born American opened with a twoshot lead and was in front by at least that many for the final 16 holes after putting his second shot inside 5 feet for birdie at the par-4 second. Na finished 13 under.
Na's third career PGA Tour victory, and second in 10 months, came after putting himself in contention with a second-round 62, one off the Colonial record. It was his third score at least that good in a span of six on the cozy course made famous by Ben Hogan.
SENIOR PGA CHAMPIONSHIP: Ken Tanigawa overcame a threeshot deficit on the back nine to pass defending champion Paul Broadhurst and win the Senior PGA Championship on Sunday in Pittsford, New York.
In only his second year on the senior tour and some 15 years after giving up playing professionally, Tanigawa shot an even-par 70 to finish at 3-under 277 at Oak Hill Country Club's East Course. The 51-year-old held off PGA Tour Champions money leader Scott McCarron by a stroke.
EUROPEAN TOUR: Bernd Wiesberger held on to win the Made in Denmark tournament on Sunday for his fifth European Tour title.
The Austrian came into the final round at the Himmerland Golf & Spa Resort in Farso with a oneshot lead over Scotland's Robert
MacIntyre, and he maintained his slim margin after shooting a 5-under 66 for 270 overall. The Scot matched his playing partner through 15 holes of the final round before conceding a two-shot lead heading into the last. Wiesberger bogeyed the 18th but MacIntyre could only manage a birdie to finish 1 back.
