Round four Skinny

Published April 19th, 2009



HOW MANY players have won a PGA Tour event by at least 10 strokes since 1970? Brian Gay become the ninth player to win by double-digit shots with his victory Sunday. He's the first since 2006, when Phil Mickelson won the BellSouth Classic by 13 shots.

WHO used the fewest number of putts in a tournament this season? Tim Wilkinson needed only 97 putts to get through the four rounds, despite using 27 in the final round on Sunday. That left him five putts short of breaking the PGA Tour record, which was set at the 2005 Heritage by David Frost.

WHICH tournament records did Brian Gay set on Sunday? In addition to breaking the tournament scoring record (-20) and posting the largest margin of victory (10 shots), Gay had only two bogeys in his four rounds to overtake Loren Roberts' mark of three in 1996.

WHAT was the best finish for a former Heritage champion? Two-time defending champion Boo Weekley shot a 67 on Sunday to move up to an eight-way tie for 13th at 5 under par.
