Naples, FL (SportsNetwork.com) – Cameron Tringale birdied the 17th hole to
give him and Jason Day a 1-shot lead heading to the last and the duo was able
to come away with par on No. 18 to win the Franklin Templeton Shootout.
Day and Tringale combined to shoot a final-round, 7-under 65 and they finished
one shot better than defending champions Harris English and Matt Kuchar at 32-
under-par 184.
Day is a two-time winner on the PGA Tour, while Tringale has yet to win an
official event on tour. This week’s tournament at Tiburon Golf Club is an
unofficial event.
English and Kuchar, playing in the penultimate group, used a late push to put
some pressure on Day and Tringale, but it was not quite enough. The defending
champions carded a 10-under 62 on Saturday to finish runner-up at 31-under
185.
Ian Poulter and 2014 FedEx Cup champion Billy Horschel (61) were exchanging
blows with the winners all day, but a bogey at the last proved to be costly as
the duo ended tied for third with Keegan Bradley and Camilo Villegas (61) at
29-under 187.
