Estes' 11-under par total was enough to win his first PGA Tour event of the season.
Beem, Justin Leonard and Steve Elkington were all in contention before hitting into the bunker at the par-three 17th. Beem, the 1999 winner, closed with a two-under 69 for a 10-under total. Bob Burns, the third-round co-leader with Estes, went into the lead after a hole-in-one at the 11th. But he lost his chance of a debut victory with a bogey at the 13th followed by a double-bogey at the 16th. Fourth win Australian Elkington finished in a tie with Burns for third place, while Leonard was a shot further back.
It was the eighth time in his career that Estes has held or shared the lead after 54 holes and gone on to win. The victory was Estes' fourth on the PGA Tour and his third in the past two years after his wins at the FedEx St. Jude Classic and the Invensys Classsic in 2001. Australian Greg Norman, who led at the halfway stage, shot a 73 to finish six shots behind Estes. |
