Franco again takes Milwaukee by storm

CARLOS FRANCO’S two favourite places in America are Milwaukee and New Orleans, where he’s won twice at each stop for his only PGA Tour wins.

Franco again takes Milwaukee by storm

The Paraguayan, who spent his free time fishing for bass at a friend’s pond during the week rather than practising his golf game, shot a 3-under-par 67 on Sunday to win the US Bank Championship, which was known as the Greater Milwaukee Open when he won it in 1999.

Franco’s 13-under 267 beat Fred Funk (66) and Brett Quigley (69) by two strokes each on a cool, breezy day at Brown Deer Park.
