GREENVILLE, S.C. — Rod Pampling went wire-to-wire in winning this week’s BMW Charity Pro-Am Presented by SYNNEX Corporation. The 45-year-old native of Australia opened with rounds of 63-63 at the three-course event, then held on with rounds of 69-66 at Thornblade Club in Greenville for a two-stroke victory over Kelly Kraft.

Rather than slowing down after his sparkling performance in the first half of the event, Pampling kept pressing on. He made seven birdies in his final round at Thornblade, and he needed most of them to hold off a hard-charging Kraft.

“It’s mostly that you listen to people who say you can’t back up (good rounds),” said Pampling, who moves to No. 8 on the Web.com Tour Regular Season money list. “There’s no reason why you can’t. So I went out there with the attitude, ‘If I don’t get off to a good start, not to worry,’ because I knew I was playing good.”

There’s no question about that. Pampling’s 29 birdies for the week were most in the field; he also ranked first in putts per green in regulation and T2 in driving accuracy.
