Weibring birdies final three for 3M Championship

Golf Betting Lines

08/05/2007 - Blaine, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - D.A. Weibring birdied his final three holes on Sunday to overtake Champions Tour money leader Jay Haas and win the 3M Championship.

Weibring finished with a five-under 67 and finished at 18-under-par 198, one stroke off the tournament record.

Haas fired a nine-under 63 to take second at minus-17.

Haas was in the clubhouse and Weibring had the final three holes to make up two shots.

The comeback started at 16 when Weibring rolled in a seven-footer for birdie. He hit his tee ball at the par-three 17th to three feet and canned that to match Haas at 17-under par.

Weibring found the fairway off the tee at the par-five 18th, but had a tough sloping lie. He elected to lay up left of trouble, then pitched his third to 10 feet.

Weibring holed the birdie putt to clinch his fourth win on the Champions Tour and first since 2005.

Mitch Adams also carded a 63 on Sunday to tie for third place with John Harris, who shot a six-under 66 in the final round. The pair came in at 16- under 200.

Scores moved all over the place throughout Sunday's final round. Weibring began the round with a one-shot lead, but recorded two birdies and two bogeys over his first nine holes.

He reached 14-under par with a birdie at the par-four 10th, but by that point Haas was ahead on the leaderboard.

Haas, the reigning Champions Tour Player of the Year, started Sunday's play five behind Weibring. He nearly erased that deficit a third of the way through the round, but it was four birdies through seven that brought him into the mix.

He also birdied the 12th, but playing a few groups ahead of Weibring, Haas birdied 14 to tie for the lead at 14-under par. Haas found the fairway off the tee at 15 and hit a beautiful five-iron that landed 20 feet short and rolled into the cup for an eagle.

"It was low and I was trying to hit a cut shot," said Haas, referring to the eagle at 15. "I'll be the first to admit, it was not my best shot of the day. It was going right at it. Obviously a great break for me."

Haas was two ahead, but Weibring answered at 12. Weibring could not get home in two at the par-five hole, but still made birdie to cut the margin in half.

Haas got on in two at the closing hole at the TPC of the Twin Cities. He two- putted from almost 70 feet to make birdie at post 17-under par.

Weibring was once again two behind, but closed with a flurry to pocket the $262,500 first-place check and move to sixth on the Champions Tour money list.

Jim Thorpe, who began the final round in second place, only managed a three- under 69 on Sunday. He tied for fifth place with Tom Jenkins, who posted a final-round 67, at minus-15.

John Jacobs shot a four-under 68 and took seventh at 13-under par.

Chip Beck (66), Bobby Wadkins (68) and Craig Stadler (69) shared eighth place at minus-12.
