Vegas Pays Up

Golfer Philip Tataurangi had the first US PGA Tour win of his career at the Las Vegas Classic, beating Australia’s Stuart Appleby by one shot. The 32-year-old pulled out his best round ever – 10 under par-62 – to take home the $US5 million in prize money. After shooting his way past international stars David Duval and Charles Howell III, Tataurangi played it safe: “I worked hard to get in a situation like this and I wasn’t going to throw it away.”
