‘Two Gloves’ Gainey pockets biggest pay packet

Moments after Tommy Gainey narrowly missed his putt for a 59, he walked off the 18th green at Sea Island with a two-shot lead over Jim Furyk and Davis Love III, who still had 10 holes to play in the McGladrey Classic.

“Got a long way to go,” Gainey said.

More than two hours later, after Furyk needed a birdie to force a play-off and instead made bogey, he walked over to Gainey in the scoring area and gave him a hug. It was a reminder to the 37-year-old Gainey just how far he had come.
