FRED FUNK WINS BY ELEVEN
STROKES - AND THAT'S A
RECORD FOR SENIORS TOUR


Fred Funk set a US Champions (Seniors) Tour winning record on Sunday that will probably not be challenged until Tiger Woods starts playing the over-50s circuit.
Funk had rounds of 65, 64, 64 for a 23-under-par total of 193 over a par-72 course, designed by Arnold Palmer, at Kahuku, Hawaii.
That won him the Turtle Bay championship by 11 shots - and that's two shots more than the previous biggest winning margin on the Champions Tour.
Funk went to the turn in his final round in only 30 shots, six under the card.
"That has to be the finest three days of putting that I've had in my career," said Funk who, at 50, is still a regular on the US PGA Tour.
He has won two of his five starts on the Champions Tour.
His prize was $240,000.
LEADING TOTALS
193 Fred Funk 65 64 64.
204 Tom Kite 67 65 72, Loren Roberts 69 69 66, Tom Purtzer 70 68 66, Denis Watson 71 65 68.
