Furyk posts a two-shot victory in Buick Open

JIM FURYK, the reigning US Open champion, held off Tiger Woods, shooting a final round 68 to post a two-shot victory at the four million-dollar Buick Open yesterday.

Furyk posted a winning score of 21-under 267 at the Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club, taking home the first prize of $720,000 that pushed his yearly earnings over four million dollars. It was his ninth career victory.

After capturing his first major title at the US Open in June, yesterday’s win established another milestone for Furyk as it gives the Pennsylvania native two wins in the same season for the first time in his career.
