PGA moment
Steve Stricker, the 48-year-old from Madison, Wis., walked up to the 18th green to the sound of fans in the grandstand cheering loudly and chanting his name.
"I don't get that too often, and that was special for me," Stricker said after rolling in a 9-foot par to finish at 4-under 284 for the championship, with a 2-under 70 on Sunday. "I really appreciate the support I get here and around the country. I hear Wisconsin fans wherever I go."
Stricker had a little run with birdies at 10, 11 and 12, and was thinking he might be able to sustain it. "It was close to being something special," he said.
Chip shots
