STATELINE, Nev. (AP) -- Mark Mulder rallied Sunday at Edgewood Tahoe to successfully defend his title in the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament.
The former pitcher birdied seven of his first 13 holes and finished with a 29-point round for a five-point victory over Mardy Fish in the modified Stableford event. Players received six points for eagle, three for birdie, one for par, zero for bogey and minus-two for double bogey or worse.
Mulder finished with 74 points and earned $125,000.
''I knew going into today I needed to make a bunch of birdies, and I didn't make many putts the last few days,'' Mulder said.
