SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — After the first two playoff holes, neither Kenny Perry nor Charley Hoffman looked capable of winning the FBR Open.

They were 1 over, and it looked as if they might have to play until dark.

"The playoff was ugly," Perry said. "We were hitting it everywhere, having to scramble from all over the place."

Perry finally finished off Hoffman, making a 22-foot birdie putt on the third extra hole yesterday at TPC Scottsdale.

Perry closed with a 2-under 69 to match Hoffman (67) at 14-under 270. It was the 13th PGA Tour win for Perry, the 48-year-old from Kentucky who won three times last year and played on the winning U.S. Ryder Cup team.

Perry blew a chance to win in regulation, bogeying the final hole.

In the playoff, Perry and Hoffman bogeyed and parred the first two extra holes. Perry then rolled in the long putt on the 332-yard, par-4 17th to end the second straight playoff in the event.

"Kenny gave me a few opportunities, I gave him a few opportunities, and he happened to close the door," said Hoffman, who has one PGA Tour victory, the 2007 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic.

Kevin Na (68) finished third at 13 under. Na rallied from six strokes back, but barely missed an 8-foot putt on the 18th hole that would have put him in the playoff.

Na was briefly overcome with emotion after he missed the putt. After signing his scorecard, he said he was proud of himself for bouncing back from two bogeys in the first three holes.

"I couldn't have gotten off to any worse start," Na said.

Hawai'i's Parker McLachlin closed with a 68 yesterday and finished at 276, earning $87,000. Dean Wilson closed with a 70 to finish at 288 and earned $12,540.

TEEN MCILROY WINS DUBAI DESERT CLASSIC

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Northern Ireland teen star Rory McIlroy won the Dubai Desert Classic for his first European tour victory, finishing with a 2-under 70 for a one-stroke win over England's Justin Rose.

The 19-year-old McIlroy, the seventh youngest winner in European tour history, had a 19-under 269 total. Rose closed with a 67. Sweden's Henrik Stenson (67) was third, two strokes back at 17 under.

"This is my first win, and it's hard to win ... the first time always is," McIlroy said. "It's definitely a monkey off my back, having lost in playoffs twice."
