Ken Duke had a feeling he would win a PGA Tour Champions event in Canada.
With a birdie on the par 5 finishing hole of the Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club on Sunday, Duke did just that as he won the 2023 Shaw Charity Classic.
The 54-year-old golfer from Palm City, Fla., sank a clutch four-foot putt on the 18th green to win his first-ever PGA Tour Champions event in his 100th career start.“Those are the guys that put in the hard work,” Duke said. “They put in the grind - the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesdays of walking the course and doing all the yardages and the percentages. Those guys don't get enough credit.
“I made a couple bogeys on the front, got it going early and fought back and hit some good shots,” Petrovic said. “Unfortunately on 18, I just laid it up in the rough. It was in the worst spot possible with that tight pin and had to play to the left just to give myself a putt at it. Almost made it, that would have been nice.”
“I'm really happy in my game today and the whole week. The course is in very, very good condition this year. The fairway to the green is amazing.” “I was out there to try and beat the golf course and it beat me today,” said McLean, who still finished as the top Canadian in a tie for 33rd place at 3 under.
