Desperate Dan wins again

Dan Forsman ended a long wait and clinched his first win in more than a decade in spectacular fashion.

Dan Forsman ended a long wait and clinched his first win in more than a decade in spectacular fashion.

After reaching the green at the par-five, 539-yard finishing hole in two shots, Forsman rolled home a 22-foot eagle to capture the Pennsylvania Classic title.

Forsman’s total of 14-under-par 270 was one shot better than Robert Allenby and Billy Andrade.

His final-round six-under 65 earned him €610,675 and gave him his first PGA Tour victory since the 1992 Buick Open.

Forsman, who began play this weekend 117th on the money list, also secured his tour card for the next two years.

Trailing by a stroke heading to the 18th, Forsman hit his drive in the right rough but turned to his three-wood and ripped his next shot onto the green.

His eagle putt curled in, leaving the 44-year-old Wisconsin native to watch Andrade’s par at the final hole.
