Eagle start satisfaction for Curtis

May 27 2012

Former Open champion Ben Curtis took his revenge on Wentworth's last two holes on the final day of the BMW PGA Championship.

The American had closed out his third-round 81 with a pair of triple-bogey eights, but on his return he birdied the 17th and eagled the 18th. Curtis, who had also had a six and a seven on the 17th over the first two days, finished with a level-par 72 and 10-over total of 298.

He was 21 behind overnight leader and defending champion Luke Donald, who was two in front of Justin Rose as he prepared to tee off again.
