Sabbatini holds off Davis to clinch Byron Nelson

IRVING: South Africa's Rory Sabbatini withstood a late charge from Briton Brian Davis to clinch a two-stroke victory at the $6.5 million Byron Nelson Championship on Sunday.

Joint leader overnight, Sabbatini carded a six-under 64 at the Four Seasons TPC to finish with a tournament record 19-under-par 261 and $1,152,000 in prize money for his fifth PGA Tour victory.

"I wish I had been able to win it and look up and see Byron (Nelson) there at the 18th green," the 33-year-old South African told reporters, referring to the American golfing great who passed away in 2006.
