Ken Duke is finally a winner on the PGA Tour Champions. Duke was in a three-way tie for the lead in the Shaw Charity Classic when he made a 5-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th hole.
CALGARY, Alberta — Ken Duke holed a 5-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th hole Sunday to win the Shaw Charity Classic for his first title on the PGA Tour Champions.
Duke closed with a 4-under 66 for a one-shot victory over Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand and Tim Petrovic, who started the final round in the lead. Jaidee shot a 62. Petrovic had to play out of the rough on the closing hole and failed to make a birdie that might have forced a playoff. He shot 69. Duke rolled in his birdie putt, took a step toward the hole with a big fist pump and began to celebrate. His lone PGA Tour victory was 10 years ago at the Travelers Championship. And it was meaningful to win for the first time in Canada, where he began his career.“I’ve always dreamed about this. This is where I started my professional career up here in Canada and I always thought that I’d win up here and here we are,” Duke said, alluding to the seven years he spent up north.
“It was in the worst spot possible with that tight pin and had to play to the left just to give myself a putt at it,” Petrovic said. “Almost made it, that would have been nice.”The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting.
