Warwick Hills G&CC, Grand Blanc, Michigan
$2,000,000
Round 1, Round 2


Jerry Kelly has won the Ally Challenge, his second victory this year on the PGA Tour Champions, with a bogey-free round of 4-under 68 at Warwick Hills.

He started the final round with a one-shot lead over Schwab Cup leader Scott McCarron and Woody Austin but McCarron fell apart with four bogeys in five-holes around the turn and shot 75 to tie for 15th.

While Austin briefly challenged Kelly with a birdie on No. 3, Kelly had a pair of birdies on the front nine, and seized control on the back nine when Austin bogeyed the par-4 15th. Two holes later, on the par-3 17th, Kelly made his final birdie for a three-shot lead.


Austin birdied the 18th and shot 69 to finish second.

Kelly also won two months ago in his native Wisconsin at the American Insurance Family Championship. He became the fourth multiple winner this year on the PGA Tour Champions, joining McCarron (three victories), and Steve Stricker and Bernhard Langer (two).

McCarron still has a big lead in the Schwab Cup. Kelly, who finished at 16-under 200, earned $300,000. He remained at No. 2 in the Schwab Cup, $492,083 behind McCarron with three more events before the PGA Tour Champions' three-tournament postseason.

''We know we've got to catch up to Scotty,'' Kelly said. ''We've got to do something special. He's been playing great and he's got a huge lead. All we can do is try and chase him down, try to win tournaments.''
