Lonard hangs on to win MCI Heritage April 17, 2005 GolfWeb Wire Services E-Mail To A Friend! HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. -- Peter Lonard survived an up-and-down day and ended up capturing his first PGA TOUR title Sunday at the MCI Heritage. Lonard, who entered the round with a one-stroke lead but dropped four shots behind Darren Clarke after the first five holes, was tied with Clarke entering the final hole. The drama ended quickly, though, with Clarke losing his ball after pulling his approach shot into the thatchy beach area next to the green en route to a double bogey. Lonard sweated through a final-round 75 to finish at 7-under 277, while Clarke had four bogeys and three double bogeys in a 76 that left him tied for second with five-time Harbour Town winner Davis Love III (71), Jim Furyk (69) and Billy Andrade (68). "It's obviously a great honor," Lonard said. "It's something I'll never forget." On the 18th, Clarke eventually walked back to the fairway to finish off his double bogey while Lonard, safely on the green in two, chomped a granola bar waiting out his landmark win. It was hard to keep things straight at Harbour Town Golf Links without a scorecard. Lonard was down by four, then led by one after the eighth hole. He again fell behind Clarke by two shots after a bogey on the 12th hole. But three holes later, Lonard was ahead by a stroke and clung to the victory.
