Furyk Wins
Davis Second
Mon April 19th 2010
Srixon 1, 2 at the Verizon Heritage at Harbour Town Links
Jim Furyk and Brian Davis (both playing the Srixon Z-Star golf ball range) battled it out over the final round of the Verizon Heritage with Davis forcing a play-off by birdying the notorious 72nd to leave the pair tied at 13 under par.
The tournament saw an extra twist when Davis hit his second shot onto the beach left of the green at the first play-off hole – he called a 2 shot penalty on himself for accidentally brushing a blade of grass on his back swing, leaving Furyk to take the title with a regulation par 4 – proof yet again of the extraordinary honesty and sportsmanship with which golfers play at the highest level of the game.
The win delivered Jim Furyk over $1,000,000 in prize money and his 15th PGA Tour title – his second in 4 weeks; whilst second position for Brian Davis gave him just over $600,000 and his 4th runner-up position as he strives for his breakthrough victory on the PGA Tour.
Jim Furyk moves back up to number 5 in the official world rankings and Brian Davis hits the world top 100. This is the 11th international tour win for the Srixon Z-Star golf ball range in 2010.
Another successful weekend for the Srixon Z-Star golf ball range.
