Jacobsen pays tribute to Stadler

PETER JACOBSEN paid tribute to Craig Stadler after shooting a three-under-par 67 for a two-stroke victory in the Greater Hartford Open – a tournament he won 19 years ago.

As a 30-year-old in 1984, Jacobsen won this event in the first year it was played at the TPC of Connecticut.

Jacobsen got a phone call from Stadler on Saturday night urging him on to victory so the pair could play together at the Mercedes Championship in January.
