JIM FURYK ended a lengthy drought by outlasting Kevin Kisner at the RBC Heritage on Sunday (Monday morning in Manila).
The veteran golfer went without a title in 100 starts with his last victory coming five years ago. When the winning putt fell on the par-3 17th, the typically reserved Furyk dropped his putter and punched the air.
Furyk won for the second time at RBC Heritage, the other coming in 2010 in what turned out to be the best year of his career. He won two other events that year, including the Tour Championship, and captured the $10 million FedEx Cup.
He won the 2003 US Open and entered this tournament ranked 10th in the world, but he has struggled to close out events. He was 0 for 9 when leading tournaments after three rounds since that Tour Championship victory.
Furyk led by a stroke when Kisner birdied the 72nd hole to force the playoff. On the first extra hole, Kisner rolled in a second straight birdie putt on the 18th. But Furyk answered with a birdie to keep the playoff going. After Kisner missed his birdie try on No. 17, Furyk sank a 12-foot putt for his 17th career PGA Tour victory. Noli Cruz
