After the 54 regulation holes, the two Americans had a cumulative score of 204 (-12). Furyk played 67 (-5), while Kelly handed a 65 (-7) card in the final round.
Canadian Mike Weir (69), meanwhile, finished the event tied with South African Retief Goosen (70) for fourth. Both men hit three more shots than the leaders. Ernie Els (70), who is a compatriot of Goosen, finished third.
Coming back to Furyk, he had previously won The Ally Championship. The event held last month was the 50-year-old’s first tournament to play on the senior PGA Tour.
