GREENSBORO, N.C. — 5:58 pm -- Charlotte native and former University of North Carolina golfer Davis Love III won the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro Sunday by one stroke over Jason Gore. Love finished at 17-under, edging Gore by a stroke and earning a berth in the FedEx Cup playoffs.

The win was Love’s 21st on the PGA Tour and third at the Wyndham Championship (1992, 2006). At 51 years and four months, Love becomes the third oldest player to ever win a tournament on the PGA Tour after Sam Snead (1965 Greater Greensboro Open; 52 years, 10 months) and Art Wall (1975 Greater Milwaukee Open; 51 years, 7 months).

Good to see him win. I like the crop of young players, but the occasional win by a “elder of the game” is refreshing.

Woods seemed to play with a bit more humility and sportsmanship than we’ve seen in the past.

Well said, couldn’t agree more.

I’m amazed with many of the younger players and how well they play.

My Mom, who has never shown the slightest interest in golf will watch Sunday if Jordan Speith is in the mix. Says he’s a “wonderful young man”. What am I Mom, chopped liver? ;)

I’ve got Dish cable and I get about a million channels. This tournament was televised yesterday but not today. I guess when Tiger falls apart again they figured it was not good for ratings.
Great win for Davis Love III. More proof that Woods can’t anyone anymore, not even beat senior players.

LOL! Your Mom is a wise lady, Jordan Spieth is a great young golfer and a real gentleman and I know she doesn’t consider you chopped liver. ;-)

I saw Davis win his first PGA event I believe in perons....the Heritage in Hilton Head. His gallery was small and I had no idea I was watching with his wife.

He started getting much bigger galleries after that....

It was on NBC nationally. I guess your local affiliate declined to show it.

LOL! What a great mom, T_S.

Thanks for posting. I heard at work yesterday that Tiger was in the hunt (I didn’t watch any of it). I said that I didn’t think he would ever win another tournament, that there were too many great young golfers. Cool. HOORAY Davis Love.

(just home from work)

This was a pretty big deal. Davis is the oldest player to win in the modern era. 51y 4m. Only 2 older winners ever, both pre senior tour. Sam Snead is the oldest by just over a year, at the same tournament in 1965. This gets Davis into the FedEx cup playoffs this year. A 2 year exemption on the PGA tour. An invite to the masters next spring, etc. He is a great guy.

It’s absolutely a big deal and Davis is a great guy.

I’ve followed his golf for years and really thought his tournament play would end when he had spinal fusion surgery but thankfully I was wrong.
