Brian Gay put on a record-setting show at the Verizon Heritage. And this time, he didn't have to share the spotlight with anyone.
Gay shot a 7-under 64 Sunday to win at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, S.C., by 10 shots. He broke the 13-year-old scoring record, finishing at 20-under 264 on the way to his second PGA Tour victory.
Gay had the tour's largest margin of victory since Phil Mickelson won the 2006 BellSouth Classic by 13 strokes.
Gay bested Loren Roberts' mark of 19 under in winning the 1996 Verizon Heritage. Gay's 10-shot edge over Luke Donald (66) and Briny Baird (68) shattered the seven strokes five-time champ Davis Love won by in 1998.
Champions Tour
Nick Price won the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am for his first Champions Tour victory, overcoming three double bogeys in a final-round 71 in Lutz, Fla.
Price finished with a two-shot victory over Larry Nelson to end an 0-for-38 streak on the Champions Tour.
The 52-year-old Price had seven birdies to shoot even par and finish at 9-under 204.
