    It was Gay’s second PGA Tour title, his first coming last year
at the Mayakoba Golf Classic in Mexico. But that event was played
opposite the World Golf Championships Match Play event - won by
Tiger Woods, no less - so Gay’s achievement got shuffled to the
background.
    This time, Gay put on a show no one would forget.
    Gay’s total of 20-under 264 surpassed Loren Roberts’ scoring
mark of 19-under set in 1996. Gay finished 10 shots ahead, also a
Harbour Town Golf Links record, of Luke Donald (66) and Briny Baird
(68).
    The victory earnned Gay more than $1.026 million and a spot in
next year’s Masters.
