CALCAVECCHIA HOLDS ON TO WIN

Mark Calcavecchia, looking for his first win in four years, shot a one-over-par 71 in the final round and held on for a one-shot victory at the Bell Canadian Open.

He finished at five-under 275, one shot better than Ben Crane and Ryan Moore. He picked up his first victory since the Phoenix Open in 2001.

After consecutive rounds in the 60s to start the tournament, Calcavecchia found the going tough over the weekend at the Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club. He shot a birdie-free two-over 72 in the third round as a comfortable five-stroke lead was whittled to one.

In the final round, he managed just one birdie with two bogeys but still managed to take home the first prize.

Crane entered the final round at even par and made a run with six birdies to offset a pair of bogeys. A birdie at the par-three 17th put some pressure on Calcavecchia, but Crane closed with a par and had to sit and watch as Calcavecchia closed his round with five consecutive pars.

Moore, the 2004 US amateur champion, signed for a 70, capping the 21-year-old's best finish as a professional since tying for 13th at The Masters.

Defending champion Vijay Singh was lurking at three under to start the round but was unable to get anything going. He shot a 72 and finished tied for seventh at one-under 279.
