BECKMAN TAKES TITLE IN PLAY-OFF

BECKMAN TAKES TITLE IN PLAY-OFF


Cameron Beckman won the Frys.com Open at the second extra hole after a final-round 63 forced a play-off with overnight leader Kevin Sutherland.

Beckman made up three strokes on Sutherland at Grayhawk Golf Club in Arizona to finish tied on 18 under for the tournament.

The pair both parred the first extra hole but Sutherland was in trouble at the second, the 464-yard 17th, flying the green with his third shot which allowed his opponents two putts from seven feet for the title.

England's Brian Davis finished 67th after a final round of 73 - his worst of the week - left him one under par.
