Kelly wins Shaw Classic in one-hole playoff with Huston in Calgary
Canada's Ames finishes in tie for 23rd spot with McLean of London, Ont.
Jerry Kelly beat John Huston in a one-hole playoff on Sunday to win the Shaw Charity Classic at Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club.
After the pair tied for the lead with a three-round total of 9-under 201, the pair went back to the 18th tee for the playoff.
After reaching the green in two shots, Kelly missed a lengthy eagle putt, while Huston was on the green in three. After Huston missed his putt to the right, Kelly calmly stepped up and drained a four footer for birdie to win the tournament.
For Kelly, a 55-year-old from Madison, Wisc., it was his third victory in six tournaments on the PGA Tour Champions circuit as he also won the Kaulig Companies Championship in Akron, Ohio, on June 10 and the Principal Charity Classic in Des Moines, Iowa, on June 5.
Joe Durant, Padraig Harrington, Dean Wilson, Alex Cejka and Kirk Triplett all finished in a five-way tie for third spot at 8 under, while Marco Dawson and Shane Bertsch were one shot back of that group at 7 under.
