The Week in Golf

Kenny Perry won the PGA Travelers Championship by shooting a record total of 258, including a final round 63 to win his 14th career tour event. With the victory he takes home just over 1 million dollars and takes the lead in the Fed Ex Cup Race. He has now won five times in the past year, the most of anyone on tour.


Jiyai Shin won the LPGA Wegmans Championship by 7 strokes, giving her 5 career wins. She dedicated the win to her mother, who died in a car crash in 2004.


Lonnie Nielson won the Dick's Sporting Goods Senior Tour event by shooting a final round 63. He started his day by going birdie, birdie, eagle, birdie, and birdie. Ridiculous!


Nick Dougherty won on the European Tour at the BMW International Open in Germany. He shot a final round 64 to win by one shot over Rafa Echenique, who scored an albatross on the par five 18th hole. For those who don't know, an albatross is one of the rarest scores in golf, and it occurs when a player holes their second shot on a par 5.
