PGA Tour Champions. Boeing Classic Leaderboard
Stephen Ames loves playing The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge in Washington State. With rounds of 67 67 he led after 36 holes, then went on a tear playing his final 5 holes in six under par for a closing 63 to beat defending champion Miquel Jimenez by 7 shots to win the 223 Boeing Classic, his 4th title of the season, in just 14 starts.

The win worth $330,000 was his 6th Champions Tour victory and moves him up to #3 in the Charles Schwab standings. He opened and closed in style with eagles.
'' Yeah, it was kinda sweet for sure, I think anyone would take that for sure. Closing like that, sort of freewheeling a bit, I hit the shots I needed to hit coming down the end, everything just clicked, everything came out just the way you usually see it. Not always does it come out like that, but I guess I was in a different time zone playing the last 4 holes.
The way I ended up finishing, I didn't expect that but I came out on top, which is nice."
PGA Tour : FedEx St Jude Championship Leaderboard
After a decade of suffering from the yips, veteran Lucas Glover (who doesn't wear a glove), gave in and changed to the long putter, going from "no control" to playing the best golf of his career, with back to back victories and finishing 6th or better in 5 of his last 6 starts.
This time he beat Patrick Cantlay in a playoff, and held off Tommy Fleetwood and Rory McIlroy by a shot in the process. He is now 4th in the FedEx Cup standings and 30th in the world and $3,600,000 richer. He is guaranteed a place in the top 30 for the Tour Championship, automatically qualifies for 2024 high stakes "signature" events, and moves right in contention for a Ryder Cup selection...
