Redemption for Red Hot Horsburgh

$ KERCHING $

After seeing Kenny Perry blow his hopes of a sizeable windfall last week, Horsburgh dusted himself off and got right back in the chair. Bang in form, having secured a place finish in 6 of the last 7 weeks, Horsey selected 80-1 American, Brian Gay, to do the damage in last weeks Heritage Classic.

Leading by 3 going into the final day, American Brian Gay, helped by a monster eagle putt at the par-five 2nd, stormed to a stunning 10-shot victory and clinched his second PGA Tour title after closing with a seven-under-par 64 at the Harbour Town Golf Links.

Gay set a new tournament record as he wound up with a score of 20 under and produced the biggest winning margin on the USPGA Tour in over 3 years, thus allowing Horsburgh a sizeable windfall to add to the 'Summer of Excess' spending pot.
