How Swede it is for local fan favourite
Pettersson fires 68 on home course for first PGA win in two years
Carl Pettersson was one imperfect hole from leading the full final two rounds of the Wyndham Championship. It was that brief slip-up that propelled the Swede to victory in his adopted hometown of Greensboro, N.C.
Pettersson won his local tournament for his first PGA Tour victory in two years, shooting a two-under 68 yesterday for a two-stroke victory at Sedgefield Country Club.
Irked by a bogey on the 11th hole that temporarily dropped him into second place, Pettersson responded with three birdies during the four-hole stretch that followed to finish at 21-under 259 and earn $918,000 (U.S.).
