The 52-year-old who won the 2009 Open Championship for his lone major on the PGA Tour, blitzed the field on the final day at the Senior PGA Championship, shooting a bogey-free, nine-under 63 at the Concession Golf Club in Florida to win by six shots.
The Irishman, 53, a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame, prevailed in a veritable 18-hole match race with Stewart Cink on the East course at The Broadmoor in Colorado.
Mark Hensby can make it a birthday to remember after maintaining his place at the top of the leaderboard through three rounds of the US Senior Open in Colorado.
The wily, 48-year-old veteran pulled out an unexpected victory with some unbelievably clutch shots down the stretch. Experience still plays on tour, evidently, and Gay has plenty of it.
For much of the round, it looked as though Peter Malnati had done enough to claim his second Sanderson Farms Championship. Sergio Garcia had other ideas…
Despite being 47 years old, Cink was able to average 288.6 metres (315.6 yards) off the tee and took a lot of pressure off by hitting 61 of 72 greens in regulation for an 84.72 percent clip.
