Golf: Keegan Bradley and Brendan Steele fired a closing 13-under-par 59 to win the Franklin Templeton Shootout in Florida. Holding a one-shot lead going into the final round, the young American duo finished three strokes clear of Rory Sabbatini and Jhonattan Vegas who tied for second with Mark Calcavecchia and Nick Price.
Using the Texas Scramble format, Sabbatini and Vegas closed with a 60, while veterans Calcavecchia and Price posted 61.
The day's best scores belonged to Charles Howell and Justin Leonard who, along with Stewart Cink and Bo Van Pelt, carded 58s.
The key to Bradley and Steele's win was a streak of seven straight birdies from the sixth holes, followed by an eagle on 14 and another birdie at 15.
At the end of the 54-hole event, they stood at 32-under-par for a three-round total of 184.
However, the lowest total in tournament history remains 182, set by Fred Couples and Ray Floyd in 1990.
