he had discussed the speculation coming from Spain with his captain and
said: 'His commitment to this club is vital.'

Baddeley wins
first PGA Tour title - GOLF

scorecard, he felt a success that didn't come from an oversized check or
championship trophy. Now, Baddeley has both, taking the Verizon Heritage
on Sunday for his first PGA Tour win and the peace of mind and soul that
fulfills him no matter where he finishes.
