Davis Love III, Tommy Gainey had little in common ... until Sunday
Posted Nov 10, 2008
The largest course in the world couldn't contain the vast differences between Davis Love III and Tommy "Two Gloves" Gainey, the final two combatants in the final official PGA Tour event of the 2008 season. Love and Gainey matched closing 8-under-par 64s at the Walt Disney World Resort's Magnolia course, and it took two stellar par saves on the last two holes for Love to hold off Gainey -- who had birdied the last two holes to make Love sweat for his 20th victory.
