Lionel Herbert earned $21,000 for a five under par 279 victory in the Florida Citrus Open. He credited hard work and possibly a flu bug for help, as the event produced one of the tour’s closest finishes with 10 strokes separating the cut of 77 contenders. Gardner Dickinson Jr. and others battled back pains and strong rounds, while Jack Nicklaus and Sam Snead posted mixed scores in a tightly packed leaderboard.
