Tradition Continues For Gil Morgan
Gil Morgan shot a final-round 2-under-par 70 in Sunday to win The Tradition at Desert Mountain for the second straight year.
Morgan, who started the round two shots behind Tom Wargo, finished at 12-under 276, marking his third win in 10 Senior PGA Tour events this year. He also won the Senior Slam in March.
The win, in the first of four senior majors, was worth $210,000 and brought Morgan's earnings to a tour-leading $674,580 this season.
It was Morgan's fifth win in his last 10 starts. Including the Senior Slam, he's won 11 events and more than $3 million in less than two senior seasons.
Wargo, who held the lead after each of the first three rounds, struggled to a 74 and finished two shots back. He still received the biggest paycheck of his career, $233,200.
Westwood Pulls Off PGA Victory
NEW ORLEANS -- Lee Westwood, the 24-year-old British phenom who turned pro five years ago, added his first U.S. victory to a string of international titles on Sunday.
Westwood shot a four-round total of 273 for a three-stroke victory and the $306,000 winner's share of the $1.7 million Freeport-McDermott Classic.
Westwood's final-round 69 on the 7,116-yard, par-72 English Turn course he saw for the first time on Tuesday was his sixth consecutive round in the 60s, dating to the third round of The Players Championship. His scores for the week were 69, 68, 67 and 69.

LINCOLN, Calif. -- Donna Andrews birdied three of the final five holes to beat Carin Koch by one stroke Sunday at the third Longs Drugs Challenge.

Andrews earned $90,000 of the $600,000 purse, pushing her season earnings to more than $215,000.
