Weiskopf credits maturity for Kemper Open win
Tom Weiskopf earned his 17 under par 271 at Quail Hollow to win the Kemper Open in Charlotte. He noted four years ago he would have lost focus after two missed six-footers, praising his new composure, patience, and belief he could beat anyone including Jack Nicklaus. Weiskopf’s win adds $40,000 to his year total and keeps him among tour leaders as Lanny Wadkins posted 69 to finish second and surpass $100,000 for the season. He opened the final round with a two-stroke lead and sealed victory with three straight birdies starting at the seventh.
