FORT WORTH, Texas — Tim Clark stood on the 14th tee box feeling great.

He'd just made a 23-foot birdie putt, giving him a two-shot lead and a score of 19-under, tied for the best in the 63-year history of the Crowne Plaza Invitational.

When Clark blew chance after chance at victory Sunday, Steve Stricker found himself in position to win and took full advantage. His birdie on the second hole of a three-way playoff gave him his first title of the year after five top-10 finishes.
