04/26/2009 - New Orleans, LA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jerry Kelly managed just a one-under 71 Sunday, but it was enough to give him the win at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Kelly, who was winless in his last 200 starts, finished at 14-under-par 274. This was his third PGA Tour title.

Charles Howell III led by three strokes at one point in the final round, but stumbled down the stretch. He carded a four-under 68 to share second place at minus-13. Howell was joined there by Rory Sabbatini (67) and Charlie Wi (68).
