Number of the day
73 John Cook's final-round score, the highest by a Champions Tour winner since Eduardo Romero's 73 in the 2008 U.S. Senior Open.
Shot of the day
Jay Don Blake, right congratulating John Cook, said he wasn't aiming for the flag on the 18th hole, but his 6-iron approach shot took one bounce, hit the stick and settled 8 feet away. He made the birdie putt to go to 9 under. "I didn't even know until after the playoff that it hit the pin," Blake said.
