    Peter Tomasulo fired a 10-under-par 61 Sunday to come from eight shots behind and win the Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic by one. The 28-year old Californian rallied on the final day, racing by the leaders to finish with a 24-under par total at the Georgian Bay Club, a shot ahead of Vermont rookie Keegan Bradley.

    Bradley birdied the final hole for a 6-under 65 and solo second. Kevin Chappell, who had a five-stroke lead after three days, managed only an even-par 70 to wind up at 22-under and in third place.

    "To be honest, I thought he (Chappell) was uncatchable because of the way he played the first three rounds," said Tomasulo, who won for the second time in his career, both coming in Canada. "I thought we might be able to get something going and think about second place. I wasn't expecting to shoot 10-under."

    Bradley, who started the day in second and five back of Chappell told the media Saturday that somebody could shoot 61 on Sunday, considering he'd done it on Friday and Chappell had done it in Thursday's opener.

    "I felt like I played great all week and I was close to a really good round," said Tomasulo, who also shot a second-round 61 in his first win, the 2005 Alberta Classic. "I just tried to stay patient. All of a sudden I started making putts and hitting it close today. I just got on a roll early and kept it going."
