Golf Roundup : Alcott Sticks With 68 and Wins by Three Shots

Amy Alcott shot her fourth straight 68 Sunday to win the Boston Five tournament at Danvers, Mass., by three strokes with a 16-under-par 272 total--best score this year on the LPGA Tour.

Alcott, who moved to third on the LPGA’s all-time earnings list, began the day with a two-shot lead over Shirley Furlong. It never dropped below three after Alcott birdied the second hole.

Curt Byrum joined his brother as a first-time winner on the PGA Tour this year by coming from behind to win the Hardee’s tournament at Coal Valley, Ill.

Byrum, whose brother, Tom, won the Kemper Open in June, shot a four-under-par 66 for a 268 total and capitalized on the collapse of defending champion Blaine McCallister to finish one shot ahead of Brian Tennyson and Bill Britton.

Bruce Crampton shot a four-under-par 68 for a one-stroke victory at 205over Jim Ferree and Orville Moody in the $500,000 Ameritech Senior Open at Cleveland.
