Updated: 4/16/01
Doug Tewell believes in holding a lead, not sitting on one.

He demonstrated the difference Sunday, shooting a tournament-record 10-under 62 in the final round of the Countrywide Tradition to win by nine strokes over Mike McCullough and become the event's second wire-to-wire leader in 13 years.

McCullough and Larry Nelson had disastrous starts early in the round.
