Brian Gay -- Champion / St. Jude Classic / June 11-14, 2009
Sunday, 14 June 2009 00:00
GAY GETS IT DONE (7 p.m.): In the end, there was never any doubt. The two-shot swing at the end of the third round meant nothing for Brian Gay. Even though his lead went from three shots to just one entering today's final round, he got off to another fast start and never looked back, much the way he did at the Verizon Heritage, where he won by 10. He didn't win by that much today -- just five -- but his 18-under total shattered the tournament record by six strokes.
The victory is Gay's second of the season and moves him to fourth in the FedExCup standings. He also became just the fifth wire-to-wire winner in tournament history and now will head to Bethpage Black, having earned a spot in the U.S. Open.
