of Sacramento and UCLA, who wound 
up at 70-75-67-70--282. Billy Mayfair 
of Phoenix and Arizona State totaled

with Kevin Na of Rancho Cucamonga, 
who came in at 72-69-73-69--283.
The PGA Tour got exactly what it 
needed on a week when the biggest 
name in golf missed the cut, with 
McIlroy becoming the youngest win-
ner on the circuit since 20-year-old 
Tiger Woods won at Las Vegas in 
1996.
He also became the first player to 
win on the PGA Tour after making the 
cut on the number since Chris Couch 
at New Orleans in 2006. He made it to 
the weekend thanks to an eagle-3 on 
the seventh hole, his second to last of 
the day in round two.
“It was a 4-iron from 206 back into 
the breeze, hit it to six feet, and the 
rest is history,” he said with youthful 
nonchalance. “Most important shot of 
the year, to be honest. If I don’t make 
eagle there, I’m practicing at Ponte 
Vedra [for the Players Championship 
the following week] this weekend. 
“That could have been the turning 
point in my season.”
Had it turned out that way it would 
have only delayed the inevitable, 
because as a Hollywood agent might 
say, this kid has star written all over 
him.

ery often, it’s difficult to follow 
a low round with another good 
one, but Dan Forsman had no 
such problem.
Forsman, from Arizona State and 
Provo, Utah, shot 10-under-par 62 
in the second round of the Regions 
Charity Classic at Ross Bridge Golf 
Club on the Robert Trent Jones Golf 
Club in Hoover, Alabama, and then 
followed it with a closing 66 that could 
have been better.
But it was good enough to give him 
a three-stroke victory over Joe Ozaki 
of Japan and Peter Senior of Australia, 
and the margin might have been larg-
er had not weather intervened.
“I caught fire down the front nine,” 
said 51-year-old Forsman, who won 
for the second time on the Champions 
Tour after claiming five victories on 
the PGA Tour. “When I made that 
birdie on 11, even I had to step back 
and go, ‘Wow, maybe I could shoot 
60.’ At that point, the only thing that 
could cool me down out there was 
Mother Nature.”
Forsman was soaked by a rain-
storm that hit the course, and he 
made bogeys on the 13th and 14th 
holes. 
However, he had plenty of cushion 
after shooting six-under par 30 on 
the front nine and adding birdies on
