Love busts out on familiar ground

Posted Oct 10, 2006

Davis Love III finally is getting over the disappointment of failing to qualify for the U.S. Ryder Cup team and being passed over as one of Tom Lehman's two captain's picks. Love snapped out of a three-year slump and shook off those lingering Ryder Cup blues Sunday by winning on the course he redesigned, shooting a 6-under 66 for his second victory in the Chrysler Classic of Greensboro.
