Bohn holds off Simpson by one stroke

Associated Press

Jason Bohn sank a 25-foot putt on the 17th hole to edge former Kailua resident Scott Simpson by one stroke to win the Callaway Golf Pebble Beach (Calif.) Invitational yesterday.

Bohn, whose lone win in three years on the PGA Tour came at the 2005 B.C. Open, shot a 1-under 71 and finished at 14-under 274.

He earned $60,000 of the $300,000 purse in the unofficial tournament that featured 81 players from the four major tours, plus mini-tour players, club pros and amateurs.

Parker McLachlin, a Punahou alum who played on the Nationwide Tour this year, shot 71 yesterday and finished at 276.
