Gay outdistances Heritage field by 10
golf
Brian Gay shot a 7-under-par 64 to win at the Verizon Heritage on Sunday in Hilton Head Island, S.C., prevailing by an astounding 10 shots. He broke the 13-year-old scoring record, finishing at 20-under 264 on the way to his second PGA Tour victory. "Just another unbelievable day," Gay said. He had the tour's largest margin of victory since Phil Mickelson won the 2006 BellSouth Classic by 13 strokes. Gay bested Loren Roberts' mark of 19-under in winning the 1996 Verizon Heritage. Gay's 10-shot edge over Luke Donald (66) and Briny Baird (68) shattered the seven strokes five-time champion Davis Love III won by in 1998.

A three-time major winner on the PGA Tour, Price ended an 0-for-38 streak on the Champions Tour.
