2B Daily News – Monday, June 27, 2011 Jacobson wins Travelers BUSCH there,’’ (Continued from page 1B) CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) — Fredrik Jacobson promised 5-year-old daughter Emmie that he would get her a trophy this year like the ones she saw other players holding up on TV. Promise kept. Jacobson closed out his first PGA Tour title Sunday, shooting a 4-under 66 in the Travelers Championship for a one- stroke victory over John Rollins and Ryan Moore. ‘‘It’s been haunting me,’’ Jacobson said. ‘‘I’ve been on the board, I’ve been asked so many times from the kids, ’Did you get a trophy this week daddy? Did you get a trophy this week?’ Nope, no trophy. So, I’m excited about that. I’m glad I’m not breaking that promise for her.’’ Jacobson, a 36-year-old Swede who joined the tour eight years ago and has three European Tour victories, had just one bogey in the tournament and fin- ished at 20 under, two shots off the course record. ‘‘I was hitting so many fairways,’’ said Jacobson, who tied for 14th last week in the U.S. Open at Congressional. ‘‘It started clicking the end of last week. The last two days I struck the ball the best I ever have at the U.S. Open.’’ Jacobson hit all 28 fairways over the weekend. Rollins and Moore closed with 63s. Moore missed a 4-foot par putt on 18. ‘‘I’m not beating myself up over that putt,’’ he said. ‘‘That happens in golf.’’ ‘‘It was a pretty simple left-center putt, and I pushed it right into the middle of the hole and it just slipped by the side,’’ he said. Nineteen-year-old Patrick Cantlay, the UCLA star who had a 60 on Friday to break the tour record for an amateur, — finished at 11 under after weekend rounds of 72 and 70. He arrived to a loud ovation on the 18th green, but bogeyed the hole. ‘‘I just learned what it’s like to have a week on the PGA Tour, to make the cut and to compete with all the guys,’’ said Cantlay, the low amateur at Congres- sional last week. ‘‘This was just my sec- ond go-around and it was a lot of fun. The ovations are special every time.’’ Rollins had four consecutive birdies to start the back nine and gave himself a chance to win at 18, by making birdie after hitting his second shot 4-feet from the pin. ‘‘It seemed like every hole there was a roar going on, so you knew that guys were making birdies and all kinds of low numbers on the board,’’ he said. ‘‘So I just kept plugging along and staying with what I was doing and managed to get a good round.’’ Michael Thompson, a 31-year-old who came out of qualifying school this season, shot the best round of the day, a 62, including a 29 on the back nine. He finished fourth at 18 under. ‘‘It was very exciting, especially this being my dream to play on the PGA Tour,’’ he said. Jacobson was trying to become the first player since Lee Trevino in the 1974 Greater New Orleans Open to play 72 holes without a bogey. And he almost did it. He had 63 con- secutive bogey-free holes before running into problems on the par-4 10th. His sec- ond shot went right, ending up resting against the cart path, but after taking relief and pitching onto the green, he couldn’t make a 12-foot putt for par. mised. ‘‘It worked out. It was a good call.’’ Sunday’s race featured several on-track flare-ups, most notably Brian Vickers’ payback spin of Tony Stew- art. Stewart knocked Vickers out of his way early in the race, and Vickers gave it right back later. The bump sent Stewart’s car spinning into a stack of tires, and the rear of his Chevrolet came to a rest on top of the stack. Stewart didn’t seem angry over the retaliation, but he wasn’t apologetic, either. ‘‘I probably had it com- ing, because I dumped him earlier, but I dumped him because he was blocking,’’ Stewart said. While Stewart was calm, tempers were flaring across the rest of the garage. Juan Pablo Montoya was mad at Keselowski, Kasey Kahne was mad at Montoya, Joey Logano was mad at Robby Gordon and Denny Hamlin was mad at AJ All- mendinger. ‘‘(Seventh) week in a row I’ve had a winning car and then Boom. We get Dinger’d,’’ Hamlin posted on Twitter immediately after the race. Hamlin, who led 12 laps and was competitive with Clint Bowyer finished fourth, Marcos Ambrose was fifth and pole-winner Logano was sixth. It was a huge turnaround for Logano, who used coaching from Max Papis to score his career-best road course fin- ish. He also showed some mettle in intentionally mov- ing Robby Gordon out of his way midway through the race. ‘‘He drives like a moron every week,’’ Logano said. ‘‘We were a lot faster than him. I got outside of him one corner and he knocked in my fender. So I had enough of it. I’m not going to get pushed around; I don’t care.’’ Defending race winner Jimmie Johnson was sev- enth, and Martin Truex Jr. came back from an early spin to finish eighth. Kevin Harvick and Keselowski rounded out the top 10.
