| JASON DAY AND CAMERON TRINGALE HOLD ON TO WIN FRANKLIN TEMPLETON SHOOTOUT |
|
NAPLES, Fla. (AP) -- Jason Day and Cameron Tringale overcame a slow start Saturday to win the Franklin Templeton Shootout by a shot.
Day and Tringale shot a 7-under 65 in the better-ball final round to finish at 32 under at Tiburón Golf Club.
Leading by three shots going into the final round, they had just one birdie in the first eight holes before closing with six in their last nine.
"He hit a lot of good, clutch putts," Day said about Tringale.
Day made 25-foot birdies putts on Nos. 10 and 12.
Day and Tringale opened with a 55 on Thursday in the scramble round and shot a 64 on Friday in modified alternate-shot play.
Matt Kuchar and Harris English, the 2013 winners, finished second after a 62. Kuchar just missed an eagle chip on No. 17.
"It came awfully close," he said. "I thought it was in. It was hard looking at the sun, I wasn't sure on the depth where the hole was but it had a great line and pretty good pace as well."
English then hit his approach shot 2 feet from the cup on No. 18.
"Just take dead aim, that's what I did," he said.
The teams of Billy Horschel-Ian Poulter and Keegan Bradley-Camilo Villegas tied for third at 29 under.
Saturday's action included momentum swings, numerous ties for the lead and memorable shots off the green. At the same time Steve Stricker and Jerry Kelly birdied eight of nine holes, Day and Tringale went birdieless on seven of their first eight holes, as did Graeme McDowell and Gary Woodland, who came into the day in second place.
Three hours into the tournament, there was a three-way tie at 25-under with nine teams within three shots. An hour later, six players were within a shot of the lead. With birdies from Nos. 9-13, Day and Tringale regained control.

On Saturday, December 13th FOX Sports launched its way into golf with the final round broadcast of the Franklin Templeton Shootout. This historical day was highlighted by the debut of Joe Buck & Greg Norman in the 18th tower announce booth. Alongside Buck & Norman, FOX rounded out their Shootout broadcast team with three-time Shootout champion Brad Faxon, former PGA TOUR professionals Scott McCarron & Steve Flesch, PGA teaching professional E.A.

During the four hour live broadcast, an international television audience was treated to FOX's new and innovative approach to golf broadcasting. In addition, golf fans got a sneak preview of some of the technologies that will be rolled out in full force this coming June at Chambers Bay when FOX televises the 2015 U.S. Open Championship.
