Funk wins JELD-WEN Tradition
Even with a widening lead in the final found of the JELD-WEN Tradition, Fred Funk pretended he was trailing.
"We were going down the second fairway and my caddie, Mark (Long), said 'Let's say you are four behind,'" Funk said. "We were trying to make it as if we were behind all day. Don't protect anything and fire at all the flags."
The aggressive Funk won his first Champions Tour major title, closing with a 3-under 69 on Sunday for three-stroke victory over Mike Goodes at the Crosswater Club.
The 52-year-old Funk, also the winner of the season-opening MasterCard Championship in Hawaii, had a 19-under 269 total. He shot a bogey-free 65 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead over Senior PGA champion Jay Haas into the final round.
