Barrington, RI (Sports Network) – Steve Stricker and Bo Van Pelt combined for a 13-under-par 58 on Tuesday to cruise to a 4-stroke victory at the CVS Charity Classic.<\/p>\n
The duo finished the 36-hole tournament at Rhode Island Country Club at 25- under-par 117.<\/p>\n
Tournament co-host Billy Andrade and his playing partner Bill Haas shot a 10- under 61 during the second round to claim sole possession of second place at 21-under.<\/p>\n
Defending champions Morgan Pressel and Jay Haas also combined to shoot 61 to finish in third at minus-19.<\/p>\n
Stricker and Van Pelt entered the day with a 1-stroke advantage over Andrade and Bill Haas and the tandem of Bubba Watson and Rickie Fowler, who posted a 7-under 64 Tuesday to grab third place at 18-under, and the eventual winners quickly pulled away with birdies over their first six holes.<\/p>\n
Stricker and Van Pelt recorded an eagle at the eighth to move to 8-under for the day, and then added gains at the 12th, 13th and 14th before another eagle at the 16th sealed the win.<\/p>\n
Andrade and Bill Haas rolled in birdies at the first, fifth and sixth before a run of four straight birdies from the eighth pulled them within two strokes of Stricker and Van Pelt.<\/p>\n
But they would get no closer and followed birdies at Nos. 13, 14 and an eagle at the 16th with a bogey at the 17th to finish four strokes off the pace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
