(AP Photo/John Autey) the par-5 18th hole. Knowing Sauers put his second shot into the lake fronting the green, Goydos just had to get the ball on the putting surface. Goydos, who shot a tourna- ment-record 60 Saturday, would normally hit a 5-iron, but with a downhill lie and knowing it was safe behind the green, he pulled out his 4-iron and hit it thin. “I thought it’d carry by more than it did, that may have been because of the heavier air,” he said. “The 4-iron was the right club to hit. It just didn’t quite catch.” The ball cleared the hazard by less than a yard and bounced to the back of the green. Two putts later, Goydos was a PGA Champions Tour winner for the first time this year and fifth time overall. It is his third top-10 in 16 events this season. “They’re all special, but the last one always seems to be the most special,” said Goydos, who made his tour debut at this event in 2014. Looking at 191 yards to the front of the green and about seven more to the hole, Sauers, who hit a tour-record 53 of 54 greens in regulation, went with a familiar club. “Hit 5-iron C M previous in regulation and so it Y K was plenty of club,” he said. “I just kind of came out of it a little bit.” It is the second playoff Sauers lost this year.

Wes Short, Jr. shot a 10-under 62, and was among a quartet of golfers fin- ishing four shots back. That group included Kenny Perry, a co-leader with Goydos and Sauers entering the day. He shot 70. Eleven players were within three shots beginning the round and 16 within four on a course known for its low scores thanks to wide fairways and soft, but fast, greens.
