Jason Bohn, coming back from a variety of injuries and back surgery, birdied three of his last four holes yesterday on his way to a two-shot victory over Jeff Overton in the Zurich Classic in Avondale, La.
Oldgolfdawg was more interested in the NBA Playoffs, particularly the Cavaliers' Game 4 against the Bulls, and didn't watch Bohn earn his second PGA Tour title. Bohn, whose previous victory came in the 2005 B.C. Open, shot a final-round 67 and finished his wire-to-wire victory at 18-under 270. Overton closed with a 66.
Bohn, 37, was teary-eyed as he made a birdie putt on the 18th green. He led since his 65 in the opening round, but admitted he felt the pressure as several players mounted challenges. Twenty-four-year-old rookie Troy Merritt shot a 67 and finished third at 14 under. Two-time U.S. Open champion Lee Janzen managed a 69 and came in fourth at 13 under.
CHAMPIONS TOUR: Mark O'Meara and Nick Price teamed to beat former Ohio State teammates Joey Sindelar and John Cook on the second hole of a playoff in the better-ball Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf tournament in Savannah, Ga.
Price made a 7-foot putt for par on the second playoff hole to earn the victory. Cook missed a 4-foot putt that would have won it on the final hole of regulation.
With the win, O'Meara notched his first official victory on the Champions Tour after 57 winless starts. Ken Green, making his first start after his auto accident 10 months ago, finished tied for 26th with Mike Reid.
