Gilbert out-duels Floyd
to win Vantage title
CI.F.MMONS, N ('. (AP) — Fortner club pro champ Larry Gilbert
out-dueled oneofgolfst hitc h players down the stretch Sunday, tak
iriK advantage of a three shot swing on the lt>th hole to win the Van
tage Championship in nm ord-tying fashion
Giliiert shot an lH-under par 198 at Tangle wood for ins second win
on the Senior Tour this season His three consecutive fitis netted him
$225,000 in the tour's richest event
(.illiert was tied with Raymond Floyd at 17-under through 15 holes
Sunday, but it was Floyd, who has won <0 tournaments in his career
and is s<s ond on golfs all time money list, who flopped when it count
ed most.
He (Floyd) will bring out the best in you. or else." said the < igar
smoking Gilbert. whose three-day total tie<l the lowest si ore on the
tour this season "Hov. is he a competitor.
It's hard to believe an old boy from Kentucky can come out on top
playing against a guy like him," added an emotional Gillierl
Following a 5-minute wait on the loth tee. Floyd hit his 5-iron
tee shot on the 183-yard par .3 into the crowd After a free drop, he
dubbed his chip shot short of the green His second < hip rolled to
about four fi-et of the i up. but Giliiert promptly holed his 25-foot putt
from the fringe for a birdie
Floyd, who started the day two shots behind Gilbert. then missed
his 30-foot putt for a double-bogey to fall three shots off the lead with
two holes to play.
"It was like now I've lost the tournament." Floyd said about his
disastrous 16th hole "! pist went to sleep I hit a terrible putt. I don't
even remember hitting it. but you can't do that."
Floyd said he was shaken a hit when Giliiert made his long putt,
"i didn't expect him to make it." said Floyd, whose SI32.000 pushed
hint over the St million mark for the first season in his i areer. "I don't
know if I w as not expecting him to make it — you don't think in those
terms but all of the sudden I'm looking at losing a stroke there."
He ended up losing three, blit the drama wasn't over despite the
turn of events
"Don't do anything stupid" were Gilbert's thoughts walking off the
16th green. "With a three shot lead with two holes to go it's kind of
hard to beat any body Hut he wasn't going to give up, was he?"
