FORT WORTH, Texas - Boo Weekley made three consecutive birdies in the middle of his round to take the lead at Colonial, and finished with 4-under 66 on Sunday for his first PGA Tour victory in five years.
Golf's governing bodies approved a rule Tuesday that outlaws the putting stroke used by four of the last six major champions, a move opposed by two major golf organizations that contend long putters are not hurting the game.
Starting in the first round of the Players Championship at Sawgrass, Masters champion Adam Scott is back to work on what he still considers unfinished business.
Counter-punching with one clutch shot after another starting on the 18th hole in regulation, Adam Scott seized the green jacket from Angel Cabrera on the second playoff hole with a 15-foot birdie putt.
Adam Scott birdied two of his final three holes he played and beat 2009 winner Angel Cabrera on the second hole of sudden death to become the first winner from Down Under.
