James_Thomas_Photo/Thinkstock(ORLANDO, Fla.) — Matt Every rolled in an 18-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to edge Henrik Stenson by a stroke and win the Arnold Palmer Invitational for the second year in a row on Sunday.
Every will now have an automatic bid to The Masters and was happy to knock down the last shot in the fashion he did.
“You watch tournaments on TV and guys make a 20-footer on the last and everybody goes nuts,” Every said. “It’s cool to close one out like that.”
Every came from three shots back this time to win after rally from a four-shot deficit last year.
“It feels great,” Every said about his return to Augusta National. “When Henrik missed that putt, that was the No. 1 thing on my mind: ‘You’re already in. Miss it — I need to get in.’ “
