Palmer won the Dessert Classic by 2 strokes. Beating Nicklaus and Johnny Miller. Sage is absolutely correct - 1973 !
Streelman shot a -4 68 today. He is -12 for the tournament and tied for 29th place with golfers still playing.
Adam Long is nine under in today's round with a hole to go. He's two off the lead.
Adam Long playing with leader Mickelson today and three back thru 7 holes.
After being 4 shots behind Adam Hadwin, Adam Long is now only one shot back with 4 holes to play (on the golf channel).
Now tied for the lead after his second chip in for birdie.
Three-way tie with Lefty and Hadwin going into 18. Long will have a kinda funky approach after leaving his drive in the right rough.
Long hits a terrific approach to 18. Phil hit a GIR, too. Hadwin in the back bunker.
It all comes down to putting ...
Adam Long made the shot of his life. Very good shot at birdie. Mickelson has a much longer putt. Hadwin is in the bunker over the green. I can't emphasize how great Long's approach shot was -- ball beneath his feet -- water in play. I guess about ten feet from the hole
Adam Long just had the round of his life to win the Tournament! Way to go Adam!
We have a winner!
Birdie on 18, beats Mickelson and Hadwin. Thirty-one years old and his first victory.
Whoo Whoo!!
Well, he did shoot 15 under for the weekend, so...
