Scott Stallings Won Greenbrier Classic

Scott Stallings winning playoff putt concluded another thrilling final round at the Greenbrier Classic this year. The win offers him a chance to play at the Bridgestone Invitational and the Masters in 2012. Accomplishments the PGA rookie could never have imagined at the beginning of the year.

Back in 2009, Stallings just wanted the chance to earn a spot on the PGA Tour, let alone win an actual tournament. That year, Stallings missed receiving his PGA Tour card by a single stroke while attending the PGA Tour's Qualifying School. His finish at qualifying school did earn him a spot on the Nationwide Tour though. 

That same year, Stallings attended the Masters as a spectator where he found himself inspired to become a better player. Watching professionals compete on the historic course and walking on Augusta's sacred ground can do that.

Inspired and recommitted to his game, Stallings continued his quest for a tour card playing the Nationwide Tour. It was a difficult journey and at the end of 2009 he found himself in 53rd place. 

Q. What's it like to be your age, to be a rookie, to win over a million dollars, and to be a PGA champion right now?

SCOTT STALLINGS: All the money and everything takes care of itself. I mean, if you're out here, the money is great. It's a huge bonus. But I've wanted to do this since I was a little kid. Like I said before, I was that little boy running around chase autographs and yelling at guys because they wouldn't stop and sign my golf balls or so on and so forth.

But to wake up every single day and to have a dream about playing out here and watching golf with my dad growing up and just saying, Hey, how did you do this? How did you do that? Just trying to learn from watching guys on TV.

And then to have the opportunity it become really, really good friends with one of the best players in the history of the game in Kenny and to be able to call him a really good friend and mentor has been a huge blessing.

To be honest, I'm more excited about the FedEx Cup than I am the money. One of the biggest goals we had was to get to Boston. I was born just outside of the city, and I'm huge, huge, diehard Red Sox fan. To have they have the pairings party at Fenway -- they actually pay you to play the Pro-Ams. I told them just to have an opportunity to go in the gates at Fenway any time I can, I would be signed up for as many as I could.

Adam Playing 910D3 Driver at WGC-Bridgestone Invitational

The 31-year-old had a bogey-free round to finish at 17 under, ahead of Rickie Fowler, who shot a 66, and world number one Luke Donald, also round in 66.

Rory McIlroy carded a 67 to share sixth at 10 under, Lee Westwood was one more back after a fine 65 and Scot Martin Laird's 72 left him joint 11th.

Tiger Woods was wayward off the tee but tied for 37th at one over after a 70.

"I can talk about Steve now and not Tiger," Scott said to laughter, alluding to the countless times he and other players have been asked about Woods. "I'm sure there are a lot of other golfers who wouldn't mind that, either."

The latest chapter in the endless saga involving Woods took away from a premier performance by Scott, who didn't make a bogey over his last 26 holes and couldn't afford to with 19-year-old Ryo Ishikawa giving him all he could handle.

"It's the greatest week of my life caddying and I sincerely mean that," said Williams, who has 145 wins to his credit, including 13 majors with Woods. In a post-round meeting with a gaggle of reporters, Williams said he is still angry and upset he was fired by Woods, and said he was let go with a phone call, not in a face-to-face meeting, as Woods said. "The last two years have been very difficult for myself and my family, and I sort of believe in destiny sometimes. I had no doubt in my mind this morning on the range, Adam had it so good on the range, I knew it was our day.

"It's the most satisfying win I've ever had, there's no two ways about it."

Scott was pretty satisfied with his performance. The overnight leader by one, Scott was playing with Ryo Ishikawa, 19, and had Rickie Fowler, 22, Jason Day, 23, and Keegan Bradley, 25, on his heels. But with birdies on holes 10, 12 and 14, and a huge par save on the 15th, Scott opened up a four-shot lead. The cushion was more than enough as he finished four shots clear of Fowler and world No. 1 Luke Donald— and became the first player using a long putter to win a WGC event. Day and Ishikawa finished in a tie for fourth.
