rankings, Jamie is chasing the year-end doubl

MADISON, Miss. -- Woody Austins spent the past few years living the life of a golf nomad, not knowing when his next opportunity to play on the PGA Tour would come. Those days are over for a while. The 49-year-old Austin won the Sanderson Farms Championship on Sunday for his first PGA Tour victory since 2007, beating Cameron Beckman and Daniel Summerhays with an 8-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a playoff. "Its been a long road and a long time," Austin said. "Now Ive got a job again." Austin is the eighth-oldest winner in PGA Tour history and the oldest since Fred Funk won at 50 in 2007. The victory gave him a two-year exemption on the PGA Tour and a spot in the PGA Championship -- not to mention a $540,000 paycheque. Not bad for a guy who hadnt even made a cut on the tour this year. Austin came into the final round two shots behind Summerhays and Nicholas Thompson, but made up ground with a 5-under 67 to finish at 20-under 268. His final round didnt start particularly well -- he bogeyed No. 2 -- but he recovered with an eagle on No. 5 and birdies on Nos. 6 and 7 to vault back into contention. "My iron play is my strength and it was there this week," said Austin, who has four career victories. "I was able to manoeuvr the ball around, get the ball close to the flag. The most important part of the game is putting and I putted good this week, plain and simple." Beckman and Summerhays both birdied No. 18 to match Austin, and Beckman missed a 5-foot putt that would have forced a second playoff hole. Beckman shot 67, and Summerhays had a 69. Summerhays and Thompson started the day tied for the lead, two shots ahead the pack. But Thompson fell out of contention quickly with a double bogey on No. 5 and a bogey on No. 8. He finished fourth at 18 under, two shots back after a 71. Summerhays moved into the lead with a birdie on No. 9, but made bogey on 14 and fell behind until making birdies on both Nos. 17 and 18. It was the second straight week Summerhays failed to close a tournament after having at least a share of the lead on the final day. His drive on the playoff hole -- the 532-yard, par-5 18th -- found the bunker on the right side of the fairway and he hit into the water on his second shot. He tied for fourth the week before at the John Deere, a stroke out of a playoff after bogeying the final hole. "Its tough to swallow for sure, but again, its my first playoff and there are all these new firsts," Summerhays said. "Hopefully I can continue to learn and grow." Summerhays praised Austin for making clutch putts in the final round. "Youve got to be kidding me -- hes 49 years old and kicking all our butts," Summerhays said. "Hats off to him." Austin wasnt the only veteran making a move on the final day. Beckman, a 43-year-old, recovered from a 72 in the opening round to post a 64, 65 and 67 in the final three rounds. He was tied for the lead at various times Sunday. He drilled an impressive 15-foot birdie putt to force the playoff, but his 5-foot putt on the playoff hole missed to the right. Billy Andrade charged up the leaderboard with a 65 to tie for fifth at 17 under. The 49-year-old started the day seven shots off the lead but climbed quickly by shooting 7 under through his first 11 holes. He finished with seven straight pars. It was the first day of the tournament that didnt involve a weather delay. But there was plenty of heat and humidity -- as well as some wind for the first time all week -- as players dealt with a soft course that received more than an inch of rain overnight. Austin managed it all and now has some decisions to make. He will turn 50 in six months, making him eligible for the Champions Tour. But Austin didnt sound like a guy ready to give up life on the PGA Tour. "Ive always told everybody I want to play out here," Austin said. "Im one of those people who doesnt like a number. I dont like the idea that people say, Oh, youre 50 years old, youre not good enough to play anymore and need to go play with the old guys ... For the past five years, Ive still felt that I have the ability to compete." He proved it on Sunday.Wholesale Baseball Jerseys .com) - Richie Incognito has reportedly been admitted to a psychiatric care unit in Arizona. Clearance MLB Jerseys .

A lot of people come up and ask me about that still, Murray admitted on Tuesday afternoon.He had just gained a measure of revenge by securing a 6-3, 6-4 win with Bruno Soares against the American duo -- whom he described going into the match as the greatest team in history.So it was no surprise the Australian Open and US Open winners agreed with the suggestion it was one of their best wins ever.Well, yeah, I think so, Murray told a news conference. We certainly played a great match, I mean, from start to finish. Probably one of our best matches of the year. We served really well throughout, cleaned up well on our serves.We had a good game plan to play against them. We executed it really well. We both returned the ball smartly, put it in some difficult spots for them, then were really active around the net.Were both super pumped about the win. Should have a good chance to progress further in the tournament now.ddddddddddddNext up are Marcelo Melo and Ivan Dodig on Thursday, with Murray and Soares looking to make it three wins from three in their group.Just like his younger brother Andy in the singles rankings, Jamie is chasing the year-end doubles No. 1 spot.He has to keep winning, like us, Jamie said of Andy, who opened his Tour Finals campaign with a win over Marin Cilic on Monday evening.That makes things easier for everyone. Im sure hes super motivated. He seemed like it in the match yesterday. Right from the beginning, he seemed pretty fired up. He was pretty positive throughout the match.For him to finish No. 1, thats his goal. Im sure its been the last few years. He does have a genuine chance to do it this year. Hes put himself in a good position. What an achievement it would be if he does do it.Were both focusing on our things. Our goals for the week Im sure are the same: to try to win, do the best we can. I dont imagine well be seeing each other that much till the weekend, if were both there. ' ' '
