Billy Mayfair of Phoenix and Arizona State totaled 68-68-71-76--283 and tied for 14th with Kevin Na of Rancho Cucamonga, who came in at 72-69-73-69--283. The PGA Tour got exactly what it needed on a week when the biggest name in golf missed the cut, with McIlroy becoming the youngest win- ner on the circuit since 20-year-old Tiger Woods won at Las Vegas in 1996. He also became the first player to win on the PGA Tour after making the cut on the number since Chris Couch at New Orleans in 2006. He made it to the weekend thanks to an eagle-3 on the seventh hole, his second to last of the day in round two. “It was a 4-iron from 206 back into the breeze, hit it to six feet, and the rest is history,” he said with youthful nonchalance. “Most important shot of the year, to be honest.

But it was good enough to give him a three-stroke victory over Joe Ozaki of Japan and Peter Senior of Australia, and the margin might have been larg- er had not weather intervened. “I caught fire down the front nine,” said 51-year-old Forsman, who won for the second time on the Champions Tour after claiming five victories on the PGA Tour. “When I made that birdie on 11, even I had to step back and go, ‘Wow, maybe I could shoot 60.’ At that point, the only thing that could cool me down out there was Mother Nature.” Forsman was soaked by a rain- storm that hit the course, and he made bogeys on the 13th and 14th holes. However, he had plenty of cushion after shooting six-under par 30 on the front nine and adding birdies on How Low Can You Go?
