"Sometimes you feel really good about a shot and I did with that. I hit the same shot earlier in the round on seven and it ended up really well," admitted Fasth. "So that was the same shot again, it felt great and I'm really proud of that one. To follow up with the birdie there, that felt really good."

 

Fasth didn't make it easy on himself down the stretch, but he closed with four straight pars to secure the win. He needed to get up and down for par on each of the last two holes and did just that.

 

Paul McGinley closed with a three-under 67 to join Soren Kjeldsen (70) in a share of sixth place at one-over-par 281. Ricardo Gonzalez, Gregory Havret, Robert Karlsson, Benn Barham and Robert-Jan Derksen finished one stroke further back at minus-two.

 

The other big battle at this event was for those trying to keep their tour card for next year. Ian Garbutt ended in a tie for 64th this week, but it was enough for him to move from 121st to 118th on the Order of Merit, meaning he was the last player to secure his card for next season.

 

Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Joe Durant's win at the Funai Classic, his first PGA Tour victory since 2001, moved him up 37 places to No. 50 in the latest Official World Golf Rankings. The top eight positions in the rankings remained the same: Tiger Woods at No. 1, followed by Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson, Adam Scott, Vijay Singh, Retief Goosen, Ernie Els and Luke Donald.

 

David Toms remained 17th, Colin Montgomerie slipped two spaces to 18th, Jose Maria Olazabal moved up one spot into 19th and Chris DiMarco dipped two places to 20th.

 

Stellenbosch, South Africa (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Richard Scott fired a three- under 69 and Andrew Parr had a two-under 70 on Thursday, leading Canada to the first-round lead at the World Amateur Team Championship. This biennial event is conducted by the International Golf Federation, which comprises the national governing bodies of golf in more than 100 countries.

 

"It's nice to be on top of the leaderboard," said Love. "It's nice not to be so far back that you can't get it back. But we've got three more days and there are a lot of good teams out there."

 

Wil Besseling joined Scott for the lowest round of the day, also firing a three-under 69 to lead the Netherlands team to its 141 total. Tim Sluiter had an even-par 72, while Joost Luiten's two-over 74 was dropped.
