Kelly snags Western
Golf roundup
The Associated Press
Jerry Kelly grabbed the lead early and made a birdie anytime someone mounted a challenge, shooting a 7-under 65 to win the Western Open by two strokes.
Davis Love III was runner-up for a second year, running into trouble on the last three holes once again. He shot a 6-under 66, but made bogey on the 17th to cost himself any chance he had of winning.
Kelly finished with a 19-under 269, two strokes off the Western Open record. He earned $720,000 for the win.
Brandt Jobe was third at 273, and second-round leader John Cook was fourth at 274. Robert Allenby, who began the day with a two-stroke lead, faded badly and finished seven shots behind Kelly.
Canada Senior Open
LASALLE, Ontario Tom Jenkins had five birdies over his final nine holes in a 7-under 64 and won the Canada Senior Open for the second time in three years.
Jenkins, the first-round leader after a 63, finished with an 18-under 195 total, three shots ahead of Walter Morgan, Morris Hatalsky and Bruce Lietzke at the 6,703-yard Essex Golf and Country Club course.
Lietzke eagled the par-5 10th to take a two-stroke lead over Jenkins, who shared the second-round lead with Hatalsky. Jenkins then made four straight birdies, retaking the lead at No. 13 when Lietzke made a good save for par.
Jenkins, who won $240,000, clinched the win with a long birdie putt on No. 16 for a three-stroke lead.
European Open
STRAFFAN, Ireland Michael Campbell claimed a one-stroke victory at the European Open, despite bogeying the last four holes and shooting 1-over-par 73.
Campbell, who held a five-stroke lead with four holes remaining, finished with a 6-under-par total of 282.
Padraig Harrington, playing with Campbell, missed a 2-foot par putt at No. 17 and hit into a greenside lake at No. 18, finishing in a tie for second place at 283 with 2001 U.S. Open champion Retief Goosen, 1999 British Open champion Paul Lawrie and Bradley Dredge of Wales.
Harrington shot a 69 in the final round. Goosen and Dredge each fired 68s, and Lawrie finished with a 73.
