TURNESA HITS THE MARC


Marc Turnesa fired a four-under-par 68 to win the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

Turnesa finished at 25-under 263 to record the first PGA Tour victory of his career.

Matt Kuchar was second, a stroke back at 24 under after a closing 67.

Chad Campbell, John Mallinger and Michael Allen tied for third, three shots behind Turnesa, who earned US dollars 738,000 (Ј425,000) for the win.

Turnesa comes from a successful golf family. His late grandfather Michael won six PGA tour events and his great uncle Joe had 15 tour titles to his credit.
