It was a good week for Annika Sorenstam and other golf fans in Sweden, because Fredrik Jacobsen held on to win the trophy at the Traveler’s Championship in Cromwell Connecticut. It was the first tour win for the 36 year old native of Sweden who put together a pair of 6 under par 64’s on the final two rounds to finish with a total of 264 and giving him a one stroke victory over Ryan Moore who shot a 63 but bogeyed the 18th hole. It was also very enjoyable for New England fans that got to see Boston native James Driscoll turn in one of his best performances as a pro. Driscoll stumbled a bit in his final round with bogeys on the 4th, 6th, and 10th hole, but stayed tough and scored birdie on the 12th hole, following with eagle, par and birdie on the short 15th hole. Driscoll had some titanic drives including a 313 yard drive on the opening hole and a 326 yard shot on 13 that set him `up perfectly for his eagle. “It was a good week overall” said Driscoll. “The good round I had at Dallas helped me get into the top 10 there. To back that up with a good week here in Connecticut is very encouraging.” James finished in fifth place at The Traveler’s and won $240,000.00 which raised this years total earnings to $588,215.00. The momentum and boost of confidence may well make 2011 the best year yet for the Massachusetts native.
