Funk proves he's real champion, wins Mayakoba

Fred Funk won one for the old guys.

Playing with an achy back befitting his senior status, the 50-year-old Funk won the Mayakoba Golf Classic on the second hole of a playoff with Jose Coceres to became only the second man to win a PGA Tour event after winning on the Champions Tour.

Funk led the tournament -- the PGA Tour's first in Mexico -- since setting the course record with an 8-under 62 Thursday. He never gave it up, but was tied several times, including from the 14th hole Sunday until sinking the birdie putt in the playoff.

The former University of Maryland coach closed with a 1-over 71 to match Coceres (69) at 14-under 266 on the Greg Norman-designed El Camaleon course in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. Funk earned $630,000 for his eighth PGA Tour victory.

Craig Stadler became the first Champions Tour winner to win a PGA Tour event when he followed his 2003 Senior Players win with a victory the following week in the B.C. Open. Funk has won twice on the Champions Tour, including the Turtle Bay Championship in Hawaii last month.

Champions Tour

Bobby Wadkins won The ACE Group Classic for his fourth Champions Tour title, holing a 13-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 4-under 68 and a one-stroke victory over Allen Doyle in Naples, Fla.

Wadkins, the brother of 2000 champion Lanny Wadkins, finished with a 15-under 201 total and earned $240,000. Doyle shot a 70.

Wadkins and Doyle, the 1999 champion, came into the final hole tied at 14 under.

LPGA Tour

Stacy Prammanasudh shot a 4-under 68 to hold off Jee Young Lee by a stroke and complete a wire-to-wire victory Saturday in the Fields Open in Kapolei, Hawaii.

The 27-year-old Prammanasudh had five birdies and sealed her second LPGA Tour title by two-putting for par from 20 feet on No. 18 to finish at 14-under 202.
