GOLF ROUNDUP : Huston Rallies With 62 to Beat O’Meara by 3

John Huston, trailing by three strokes with six holes to play, shot a final-round 10-under-par 62 Sunday to win the Disney Golf Classic with the best 72-hole total on the men’s tour in four years.

Huston finished at 26-under-par 262 at Lake Buena Vista, Fla., one shot off the PGA record 27-under established by Ben Hogan in 1945 and matched by Mike Souchak in 1955. The last player to finish a tournament 26-under was Chip Beck in 1988.

“It was one of those days where everything was going my way,” Huston said.

Defending champion Mark O’Meara was ahead by three shots with six holes to play. But he bogeyed twice down the stretch while Huston was getting four of his 10 birdies on the 7,190-yard Magnolia Course.

Bob Charles got hot with his putter and fashioned a nine-under-par 63 for a three-round score of 16-under 200 and the championship of the Transamerica Senior Golf Championship at Napa, Calif.

Charles, a left-hander, won $75,000 for beating Dave Stockton by one stroke over the 6,632-yard Silverado South Course.

England beat the two leading U.S. players and rode that momentum to victory over Scotland to claim the Dunhill Cup international championship at St. Andrews.

Only Tom Kite won for the United States, which lost, 2-1, in the semifinals because Steve Richardson beat Davis Love III and David Gilford edged Fred Couples.

Love struggled to make putts as Richardson swept past him with a four-under-par 68 to win by three shots. Couples surrendered a two-stroke lead over Gilford and lost by a stroke, despite shooting 70.

Kite beat Jamie Spence by a stroke with a par on the final hole after blowing the rest of a four-stroke lead at the 17th.

Then the English downed the Scots--Gordon Brand Jr., Colin Montgomerie and Sandy Lyle--to win the trophy and the $1.7-million championship for the second time.
