Furyk praises Davis' sportsmanship

American star Jim Furyk paid tribute to the sportsmanship of Brian Davis tonight after the Englishman called a penalty on himself that cost him a maiden US PGA Tour victory.

Furyk landed his second title in a month at the Verizon Heritage at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, following a near three-year drought, but the 15th PGA Tour victory of his career came in bizarre circumstances after Davis had forced a sudden-death play-off with a 72nd hole birdie.
