McGirt tops Curran in Memorial playoff for first win
DUBLIN, Ohio - William McGirt thought he hit it big when he won the Cabarrus Classic and pocketed $16,000, the second-largest prize on the Tar Heel Tour.

Instead he opened his post-game news conference by accusing Uruguay defender Jose Maria Gimenez of confronting him.
