RENO, Nev. -- Greg Chalmers won the Barracuda Championship on Sunday at Montreux for his first PGA Tour title by eagling the final hole for a six-point victory in the modified Stableford scoring event.The 42-year-old Australian won in his 386th start after entering the week as the active player with the most events without a victory.Its hard to win, and Im very thrilled and very pleased to get it done, Chalmers said. It was a tough. I knew today would be difficult. And we had difficult conditions. I was blessed, I think, that guys found it tough just the same as I found it tough.A point ahead of Gary Woodland and needing at least a par on the par-5 18th to wrap up the victory, Chalmers made an 8-foot eagle putt after hitting a 320-yard drive and 230-yard, 7-iron approach. A few minutes earlier, Woodland hit an 8-iron into the right bunker and three-putted for bogey.Quite fortunate that Gary didnt birdie the last, Chalmers said. That would have put a lot of pressure on me.Chalmers had a four-point round to finish with 43 in the system that awards eight points for double-eagle, five for eagle and two for birdie and deducts a point for bogey and three for double-bogey or worse. He had two birdies and five bogeys, the last two on Nos. 15 and 17.The left-hander earned a two-year tour exemption, a spot in the British Open at Royal Troon and other perks. With only conditional status, he had split time between the PGA tour and the Web.com Tour this year. The two-time Australian Open champion missed the cuts in his previous five starts on the big tour.Just to get back on the PGA Tour, I cant tell you how exciting that is, Chalmers said. Forty-two years of age, I turn 43 in October. This is a real fork in the road for my career, and its in the right direction.Because of the West Virginia floods that led to The Greenbrier Classic being canceled, a British Open spot was transferred to the leading player not already eligible at Montreux.Cant wait, Chalmers said. Its such a great thing that the R&A and Barracuda here have done for us, even though the circumstances that came about werent the greatest.Woodland, the 2013 winner, also had a four-point round to finish second.Its frustrating, Woodland said. I didnt make any putts coming down the stretch.In standard scoring, Chalmers finished a stroke ahead of Woodland and third-place finisher Colt Knost. He closed?with a 1-over 73 for a 15-under total.Knost had a 10-point round to reach 35. He has three top-four finishes in his past five events.I stole some today, but I threw a lot away, Knost said. Honestly, all week, I just didnt strike it very well. My short game saved me.Tim Herron was another point back after a 13-point round. He was pulling for Chalmers to win.That would be great. That would be awesome, the 46-year-old Herron said while Chalmers was in the middle of the back nine. Hes grinding his butt off. Were kind of in that stage of our career. Should we hang with the family, or should we keep going?Brendan Steele and Steve Wheatcroft tied for fifth with 32 points.Not the Sunday I wanted, Wheatcroft said. They definitely changed the golf course up on us. Took us four or five holes to figure that out. Cant imagine too much water went on the greens last night. They were rock hard.Rhein Gibson had the shot of the week. He holed out from 175 yards for double-eagle on the par-5 18th. He set up the albatross with a 370-yard drive.I hadnt had a birdie all day and just leaking oil, hitting good shots, not doing anything, Gibson said. I hit an unbelievable tee shot there and had a wedge in ... saw it go in. The crowd went pretty bonkers.Barracuda will donate $100,000 to a charity in Gibsons name. The only other albatross in tournament history was by Shiv Kapur in 2010, when the hole played as No. 9.Gibson tied for 25th with 24 points. He and other Australian players showered Chalmers with champagne.I didnt expect that, Chalmers said. And kind of unique because normally a lot of guys will just leave town. So for them to stay and do that was kind of special.Chalmers father, John, was also there to celebrate.My father just comes out to travel with me when my mom and my kids and my family are staying back in Dallas, Chalmers said. He just likes to come out and watch golf. He plays. Its good for us as father and son -- hes 72 now -- for us just to bond and chat and solve the worlds problems every night.Chalmers got the last laugh on a Twitter troll too.Unfortunately, someone on Twitter said, That guy cant close out. ... Ill be tweeting him back later, dont worry about that. Hydro Flask Wide Mouth Flex Cap .

An Australian Test team described as quiet? No, really.Australias captain Steven Smith has demanded his players find their voices and energy in the lead-up to the home summer, having pinpointed a flat and uninspiring on-field attitude as one of the reasons for the teams recent defeat in Sri Lanka.There was a marked contrast between the lack of assertiveness shown during those matches after the second day of the series, and the more aggressive posture of the limited-overs teams that won 50-over and Twenty20 contests in the aftermath of the Tests.Rested after the second ODI, Smith watched on television from his home in Sydney as the vice-captain David Warner led a far more demonstrative effort. Smith wants that to be the template for the way the Test players carry themselves in future, indicating that a more boisterous, aggressive attitude is critical to the way Australia play their best cricket.I thought his energy was magnificent throughout those games and looking forward thats the sort of energy we want from him and all of the other senior players, Smith said of Warner, in Sydney ahead of the ODI teams departure for South Africa, where they will also play a match against Ireland. Weve got a pretty quiet group and we need that sort of energy come South Africa and the summer as well. I thought in the Test series in Sri Lanka we lacked a fair bit of energy in the field and that probably cost us at times. We put down a few crucial chances and in the grand scheme of things that could have made a difference.The raft of retirements that followed the 2015 Ashes series did serve to trip the national side of plenty of outsized characters, from the captain Michael Clarke and the wicketkeeper Brad Haddin to Shane Watson and Mitchell Johnson - all featured in various on-field confrontations with opponents down the years. The likes of Peter Nevvill, Adam Voges and Nathan Lyon are less likely to raise their voices, but Smith was firm in stating that they need to.ddddddddddddIts difficult, he said. Weve got some pretty quiet characters, so even if its not making noise verbally it might be just about having a bit more presence and the old Australian way of puffing your chest out and making your presence felt for the quieter guys. Its trying to do that, get into the game that way and try to provide some sort of energy that way.Communication was raised in another sense by Smith, when reflecting on the decision to rest him from the latter part of the Sri Lanka tour. The timing was queried by many around the world, even if the games crowded schedule makes such decisions more or less inevitable lest players like Smith or the fast bowlers be burned out well before their careers have run a natural course.For me it was just about getting the messaging across and I think we could have got the messaging across a fair bit better, Smith said. We knew a fair way out that I was going to leave after the second one-day game. The fact we only brought it out the day before probably shocked a few people, so in future if this sort of thing pops up and someones having a rest ... its about getting it out a little bit earlier.I watched every ball that was bowled in the one-day series and I did miss it, but having said that it probably will do me the world of good looking at whats coming up. Particularly the fast bowlers, its very difficult for them to sustain it for long periods of time and go full tilt, which we want those guys doing. Having said that, for this series it gives a couple of guys an opportunity, we get a look at the likes of Tremain, Worrall and Mennie. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
