Ginn tastes success at Senior PGA

DEARBORN (Michigan) JULY 15. Stewart Ginn shot a 6-under 66 on Sunday to win the Senior Players Championship, the fourth and final major of the year.

Ginn finished at 14 under to win by one stroke and capture his first victory on the Senior PGA Tour.

Jim Thorpe had the best day with a 65 and closed at 13 under along with Hubert Green and third-round leader Mike McCullough, who began the day one stroke ahead of Green and four ahead of Ginn. Green shot a 70, and McCullough had a 71 during the final round.

Doug Tewell was alone in fifth at 10 under. Ed Dougherty and Hale Irwin, who set nine-hole and first-round records, finished six strokes back. Dave Stockton and Larry Nelson were at 8 under.

Ginn made four straight birdies from Nos. 10-13 to take the lead for good at 14 under.

The 53-year-old Australian, who joined the Senior PGA Tour in 1999 after playing professionally all over the world, maintained his lead with a par-saving putt at 16 after his tee shot landed in the left rough and his second in a bunker.
