POTOMAC, Md. (AP) —
Kyle Stanley was in tears
on the 18th green after
he holed a 5-foot par putt
to win the Quicken Loans
National in a playoff over
Charles Howell III. He wept
again in the interview room
as he spoke about the long
slump between his first and
second career victories
and the doubts that his
game would ever return.
He believed he could win
again. But he never re-
ally had to think about it
until midway through his
round on a wild Sunday at
TPC Potomac. “There was
some doubt there for a lit-
tle bit. Yeah, I mean, it’s no
fun,” Stanley said, wiping
away tears. “You certainly
question if you’ll get back
... and have a moment
like this. It makes this pretty
special, for sure.” On a day
when about a dozen play-
ers had realistic chances
to win, Stanley moved into Wawrinka bounced from Wimbledon on Day 1
