Web.com Tour
WHAT: Savannah Golf Championship
WHERE: Landings Club – Deer Creek Golf Course, Savannah, Ga.
WINNER: Dan McCarthy
MONEY: $99,000
SCORE: 16-under 272
BUZZ: McCarthy shot 3-under 69 in the final round to claim a one-shot victory over Scottie Scheffler. It’s the first Web.com Tour victory for McCarthy, 33, who won four times on the Mackenzie Tour in Canada in 2016. He entered Sunday tied with Scheffler, who squandered his chances with a costly bogey at the par-3 17th. The 22-year-old Texas grad was looking for his first professional victory but failed to birdie the par-5 closing hole to force a playoff. Few could have predicted the win for McCarthy, who hadn’t finished in the top 40 at any tournament this year and tallied just one top 5 in 23 starts last season. But he set the tone with an opening-round 65 and held on with an impressive Sunday showing. Kevin Lucas, Brett Coletta and Brian Campbell finished T-3 at 14 under. Gwk
