Weibring wins first major


Monday, October 13, 2008

TIMONIUM, Md. - Down by four strokes with 14 holes to play, D.A. Weibring soared past a fading Nick Price and held off a host of challengers to win the Senior Players Championship, his first career major tournament victory in 65 tries.

Weibring closed out a 2-under 68 with a 2-foot par putt on the 72nd hole. He finished at 9-under 271, one stroke better than hometown favorite Fred Funk (66).

Price (71), Ben Crenshaw (66) and Jeff Sluman (69) were at 7 under, and Jay Haas (68) followed at 6 under.

It was his fifth win in six years on the Champions Tour, and one of the most significant of his career. He was 0-for-39 in major tournaments on the PGA Tour and 0-for-25 on the 50-and-over circuit.

Texas Open

SAN ANTONIO - Zach Johnson won the Texas Open on Sunday for his fourth PGA Tour title, following his third-round 62 with a 64 for a two-stroke victory over Charlie Wi, Mark Wilson and Tim Wilkinson.

Johnson, the 2007 Masters champion who entered the week with only one top-10 finish this year, had a 19-under 261 total on the La Cantera Golf Club's Resort Course.

Longs Drugs Challenge

DANVILLE, Calif. - South Korea's In-Kyung Kim won the Longs Drugs Challenge for her first LPGA Tour victory, closing with a 1-over 73 in gusty conditions for a three-stroke victory over Angela Stanford.

The 20-year-old Kim, the 2005 U.S. Girls' Junior winner in her second season on the tour, birdied the final two holes for a 10-under 278 total on the Blackhawk Country Club course. She earned $180,000.

Stanford, the Bell Micro LPGA Classic champion last month in Alabama, finished with a 75.

LPGA Championship winner Yani Tseng (72) was third at 6 under, and top-ranked Lorena Ochoa (72) finished fourth at 4 under.
