Day takes out Franklin Templeton Shootout

Jason Day and Cameron Tringale overcame a slow start Saturday to win the Franklin Templeton Shootout by a shot.

Day and Tringale shot a 7-under 65 in the better-ball final round to finish at 32-under at Tiburon Golf Club. They each earned $335,000.

Leading by three shots going into the final round, they had just one birdie in the first eight holes before closing with six in their last nine.

"He hit a lot of good, clutch putts," Day said about Tringale.

Day made 25-foot birdies putts on Nos. 10 and 12.

Day and Tringale opened with a 55 on Thursday in the scramble round and shot a 64 on Friday in modified alternate-shot play. Matt Kuchar and Harris English, the 2013 winners, finished second after a 62.
