The Byron Nelson is Rory’s 5th win on the PGA Tour.

What Rory said about his victory

”This tournament is very special. It's one that I wish I had been able to win and look up and see Byron sitting there at the 18th green. It would have meant a lot. But Peggy being here today was special, and obviously his name and his legend lives on with this tournament and with the Salesmanship Club and in North Texas here. What a wonderful name to be associated with now. Absolutely amazing man, one of the greatest names in the history of the sport, and just really, there's no words to express how much honor there is to be associated with him.”

Key Moments & Milestones

• The high point for Sabbatini this week had to be birdies at Nos. 15, 16 and 17 down the stretch Sunday. After Rory hit a 7-iron from 178 yards to just over six feet on the right side of the hole on the par-4 15th, he had a two-shot lead with just three to play. Brian Davis then rolled home a 26-foot eagle putt on the par-5 16th that cut Sabbatini's lead to just one and sent the crowd into a frenzy.
  
  
• Sabbatini, standing on the 16th tee, heard the roar and surely must have realized by the volume that it was for an eagle, but he was unfazed. He reached the fringe of the 16th in two shots and eventually birdied to re-establish his advantage.
  
  
• Always a fast player, Sabo could barely wait for the group in front of him to clear the putting surface on 17 before he was over his ball and swinging away. Even with the hole tucked precariously close to the water, he took dead aim and floated an 8-iron to within birdie range. Once he rolled home the putt, Sabbatini's fans could start to party in earnest.
  
  
• Rory had five birdies on the back nine Sunday en route to his second 64 of the tournament. This is the second lowest final-round score by a winner in tournament history; Peter Thomson posted a 63 to become the championship's first international winner in 1956.
  
  
• Sabbatini becomes the 14th player to win both the HP Byron Nelson Championship and the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial during his career. Others who have completed the "DFW Double" are Ben Crenshaw, Roberto De Vicenzo, Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, Bruce Devlin, Jack Nicklaus, Lanny Wadkins, Tom Watson, Bruce Lietzke, Nick Price, Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia and Julius Boros.
  
  
• Sabbatini's putting was exceptional. He averaged only 25.75 putts per round, compared to the field's 28.93 average. Rory picked up more than three shots on the field each day with his flatstick alone. What his putts per round won't tell you is how timely Sabbatini's putting was. When he gave himself a birdie opportunity, Rory knocked down 25 of 49 birdie putts - Rory's 51 percent was 21 percent better than the field average.

Media Coverage

Sabbatini played lights-out golf at the Byron Nelson Championship. A 64 on a Sunday pretty much works anytime, anywhere, but when it comes in the final pairing, and it holds off hard-charging Englishman Brian Davis – the hottest player on the planet nobody’s ever heard of – the Sunday 64 becomes one of the better rounds of the springtime on tour.

And there Sabbatini was, doing it in a pink polo shirt that he said was dedicated to Amy Mickelson’s fight with breast cancer. Class move, Rory Sabbatini.

With record scores being thrown down, Fort Worth's Rory Sabbatini hardly blinked. Rather, he thrived on the electric atmosphere. Leading by two strokes with two holes to play, he bucked conventional thinking. He sent an 8-iron shot toward the flag on the dangerous par-3 flanked by water.

His ball plopped down eight feet from the hole, he made the birdie putt, and "Rory's Rowdies" erupted. He walked to the 18th tee with the HP Byron Nelson Championship in his back pocket.

You have to excuse Rory Sabbatini's pace during the Sunday's final round of the HP Byron Nelson Classic in Irving, Texas. If it seemed like Sabbatini was in a hurry. That's because it was high time for him to hoist a trophy once again, and at the course of the TPC Four Seasons Las Colinas, in what was in essence a home course advantage, there was an urgency to satisfy his legion of rambunctious fans.
