NAPLES, Fla. — Steve Stricker and Jerry Kelly won Greg Norman’s Shark Shootout on Sunday, closing with a 13-under- par 59 in the final-round scramble for a one-stroke victory over three teams.
Stricker made an eagle on the par-5 17th — hitting the second shot and the putt — to give the longtime Madison, Wis., friends the lead.
Kenny Perry and J.B. Holmes, three strokes ahead of Kelly and Stricker with five holes to play, both missed birdie putts on No. 18 that would have forced a playoff.
Kelly and Stricker, who entered the round with a one- stroke lead, finished at 26- under 190.
Perry and Holmes closed with a 59 to match the teams of Chad Campbell and Tim Clark, and Justin Leonard and Scott Verplank at 25- under.
