adminPALM HARBOR. — Australian John Senden birdied two of the last three holes in impressive fashion on Sunday to win the Valspar Championship, his first US PGA golf title in eight years.
The 42-year-old from Brisbane sank a 68-foot chip shot to birdie the 16th and a 22-foot birdie putt at 17 on his way to claiming the US$1.02 million top prize at the US$5.7 million event.
“I’m just so happy to come out on top,” Senden said. “I just went out there and felt comfortable throughout the first 10 or 12 holes.
“Then I started to make a few little errors and get a little uptight on the back nine, but made some really nice saves and putts coming down the stretch.” — AFP.
