CEJKA WINS RAIN-REDUCED Web.Com Tour OPENER IN COLOMBIA
Munich-based, Czech Republic-born Alex Cejka, a former European Tour player, won the rain-reduced Web.Com Tour's opening event of 2014, the Colombia Championship at Bogota Country Club.
Cejka shot 68-68-63 for 14-under-par 199 to win the $135,000 first prize by three strokes from joint runners-up Andrew D Putnam (USA) and Mexico's Carlos Ortiz.
Dornoch's Jimmy Gunn, making his debut on America's No 2 pro tour, missed but the by three shots after a brilliant second round of 68 - nine shots better than his first-round score
Gunn was out in 32 with birdies at the fourth, sixth, eighth and ninth and when he birdied the 10th to get to five under par on the day, there was
just a glimmer of hope that he was going to beat the cut after all.
But then Gunn was stopped in his tracks by a double bogey 5 at the short 12th and, having lost his momentum, he dropped another shot at the 15th.
But Jimmy's confidence will have been restored, ready for the second event on the tour.
