Weibring finally bags a major

Down by four strokes with 14 holes to play, D.A. Weibring soared past a fading Nick Price and held off a host of challengers to win the Senior Players Championship in Timonium, Md., for his first career major in 65 tries.

Weibring closed out a 2-under 68 with a 2-foot par putt on the 72nd hole. He finished at 9-under 271, one better than hometown favorite Fred Funk (66).

On a day in which four of the top seven finishers bogeyed 18, closing with five straight pars was good enough to provide Weibring with a lovely crystal trophy and $390,000 -- the biggest payday of his career.
