Jerry Kelly took advantage of the start of the hot tournament and fell less than 67 under 67, and to close a one -time victory at Mitsubishi Electric Classic in GA, Duluth.
Kelly won the first tournament of the 2025 season and the 13th total of the PGA Tour champions, and a single BOGEY Birds to finish the event in 196 under the age of 20 on Sunday.
“I definitely wanted to win this, so it’s nice to do it,” Kelly said.
Kelly 58 -year -old Kelly kept both the tournament score record and the TPC Sugarloaf course record below 62 years below 62 years below 62.
His game on Sunday broke a tournament record.
According to his own admission, Kelly did not feel completely comfortable there on Saturday, but he found a strong enough form to close the victory on Sunday, which was given to some family recommendations.
“Really, my wife gave me some good ideas to be easy with everything last night.” He said. “I came here and a struggle or not, it was much easier than yesterday.
“But even my son Coop, took action a little. Last night I tried to ask him what was happening and said, ‘You’re fine’. So, a family relationship and both helped, was great.”
Kelly opened up with four birds among the top five holes to apply early pressure to its competitors, a throat was worn out to 9 holes 9, then took two more birds in 15 and 17, and the nearest competition emphasized Ernie Els twice to the last hole.
Els from South Africa threw a bird in the hole 18 in the hole 18 to force the last Putt to win and win without playoff in holes 3 and 13.
Kelly, “What will I tell you, Ernie is one of the best people here and I respect him.” He said. “It’s hard to go head -to -head with him, not to get caught just to be with him.”
Kelly entered one foot of the hole in the fourth shot, and in the last three years, only the second champion has completed its second champion’s win and quietly left.
Again, he trusted his wife and the improved stance for the win.
Kelly, “I really tried to stay more stance, I let the release take place.” He said. “I know I’m out of this. That was the most important thing he said to me, I was out of the posture in most of my shots, so he helped.”
Els came to the day connected to the general leadership with Kelly, hit the second place under the age of 19, 4 of 68 hit. There was a bogay in the hole 2.
Steven Alker (65) from New Zealand ranked third.
Argentina Melek Cabrera (68) ranked fourth under the age of 15, while Fiji’s Vijay Singh (70) was fifth under the age of 13.
61 -year -old Davis Love III threw 73 to finish 2 for the tournament (T60) (T60), less than three months after having an open heart surgery to repair a leaking valve.
