Nick Price is having one of those years.
Already the leading money-winner on the PGA Tour, Price won his fourth tournament of the year Sunday when his final-round 66 gave him a three-stroke victory in the St. Jude Classic.
It was Price’s third victory in as many tour events. He won the Greater Hartford Open and Western Open on consecutive weekends in late June and early July. He also won the Tournament Players Championship in March. No other golfer has more than two tour wins this year.
“Someone is looking down favorably on me,” said Price. “I go along for 10 years or eight years over here and I’ve been making a nice living coming in second every now and then or third or fourth, and suddenly 1993 comes along and I win four times in five months.”
Price finished at 18-under-par 266. Jeff Maggert and Rich Fehr finished at 269, one shot better than Fuzzy Zoeller, who began the final round tied for the lead with Price but faded to a 70.
Price managed to win despite being on edge throughout the tournament. His wife, Sue, is at home in Orlando about to deliver their second child.
Jay Delsing, who made the cut by one stroke, had a course-record 61 Sunday to finish eighth, seven strokes behind Price.
