Davis Love III broke through for his first victory in more than two years by winning the Children’s Miracle Network Classic last night.

Davis Love III broke through for his first victory in more than two years by winning the Children’s Miracle Network Classic last night.

Love last won in 2006 at the Chrysler Classic of Greensboro and waited until the final event of the 2008 season to put it all together.

He closed by shooting 64-64 over the weekend and finished at 25-under-par 263.

Love needed every one of his eight birdies today to hold off Tommy Gainey by one stroke. Gainey also closed with an eight-under 64, but it was not enough.

Scott Verplank and Steve Marino finished tied for third at 20 under after they each signed for a 71.
