Purple protest fails to color Tiger's victory

Lucas was behind the ropes Sunday, chomping on a cigar, shouting encouragement to his son-in-law. Standing behind the 17th green, he sounded like a caddie again.

"Front middle. Let it funnel to the hole," Lucas said.

The ball soared toward the flag, narrowly missed the bunker and stopped 4 feet away for a birdie. Lucas raised both hands over his head and clapped, turning from caddie to father-in-law again.

O'Hair birdied the 18th for a 67, matching Tiger Woods for best score of the final round, and he tied for 14th.

PLAYING FOR PAY: Edoardo Molinari stayed an amateur long enough to play in the Masters, U.S. Open and British Open. But after closing with a 75, the Italian is ready to turn pro.

Molinari, who earned his exemptions by winning the U.S. Amateur last year, will make his pro debut this week at the Deutsche Bank Players Championship in Germany through a sponsor's invitation.

He signed with a Swiss sports agency.

"The last year has been an incredible journey with many fantastic experiences," Molinari said.
