Gainey surges into win column

Using an unconventional swing that has been compared to a man trying to kill a snake with a garden hose, American Tommy Gainey struck a blow for the "everyman" golfer with his one-shot victory at the McGladrey Classic.

Using an unconventional swing that has been compared to a man trying to kill a snake with a garden hose, American Tommy Gainey struck a blow for the "everyman" golfer with his one-shot victory at the McGladrey Classic.

A veteran of virtually every mini-circuit in the United States over the past two decades, the 37-year-old finally claimed his first PGA Tour title after closing with a stunning 10-under-par 60 on the Seaside layout at Sea Island, Georgia.

Gainey charged past tour veterans Jim Furyk and Davis Love III on Sunday.

"I know I'm 37, considered a veteran maybe, but I'm still young when it comes to out here," Gainey said.
