Parry finally hits the jackpot

LITTLE Australian Craig Parry became $1 million yesterday when he finally ended a 15-year wait for his first victory in America.

In his 236th US Tour event the 36-year-old known as Popeye stormed to a superb four-stroke victory in the NEC World Championship at Sahalee Country Club near Seattle.

And while he felt over the moon, Justin Rose could reflect on one of the best performances of his brief, but eventful career a joint fifth-place finish which earned him £121,974.
