Retief Goosen wins Mitsubishi Electric for TPC Sugarloaf Champ-PGA Tour double
DULUTH, Ga. (AP) --- Retief Goosen won the PGA Tour Champion's Mitsubishi
Electric Classic on Sunday at TPC Sugarloaf, 24 years after he took the PGA
Tour's BellSouth Classic on the course.
Goosen closed with a 14-point round under the modified Stableford scoring
system to beat Stephen Ames by two points. The 57-year-old South African won
for the fifth time in 150 starts on the senior tour.
Goosen birdied the par-5 18th to finish with 39 points. He also won the PGA
Tour's 2005 International under the scoring system that was used for the first
time in the senior event.
Players received eight points for an albatross, five for eagle and two for
birdie. They lost a point for bogey and three for double bogey or worse.
Ames had 19 points in the final round. Second-round leader Zach Johnson was
third at 36 after an eight-point day.
Local favorite Stewart Cink, the Senior PGA winner last week for his third
victory of the year, was fourth at 35 after a 19-point round. Cink played
college golf at Georgia Tech and lives in Atlanta.
