The PGA Grand Slam of Golf
U.S. Open Champion Lucas Glover turned his first-round, two-shot lead into a five-shot win over Masters Champion Angel Cabrera and a six-shot win over British Open champion Stewart Cink to win the 27th PGA Grand Slam of Golf, Oct. 21, at Port Royal Golf Course in Bermuda. PGA Champion Y.E. Yang finished fourth, 10 shots back.
Glover posted 13 birdies and one eagle over the two days. In the final round Glover started slowly with three pars and a bogey on hole 4, but then started making putts and birdied 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 15 and 17. The 29-year-old from Greenville, S.C. closed with a 5-under 66.
Glover was tied with Cink when they made the turn during the final round. After Glover birdied the 10th and 11th, Cink fell back with bogeys on the next two holes.
Glover finished at 11-under-par 131 and earned $600,000.
Cabrera, who won the PGA Grand Slam of Golf in 2007, had a final-round 66 and finished at 136 to win $300,000. Cink bogeyed the 18th hole for a 70 to finish another shot back at 137 and earned $250,000, while Yang had a final-round 70, was fourth among the major champions at 1-under 141 and earned $200,000.
Established in 1979, the PGA Grand Slam of Golf has grown from an 18-hole, single-day affair to a 36-hole annual showdown that matches professional golf's best against each other for a $1.35 million purse, played in front of a television audience in more than 100 countries.
In 2010, the PGA Grand Slam of Golf returns to Bermuda and the Port Royal Golf Course.
