At the end of a week dominated by accusations and consternation over square grooves generating more spin, perhaps it was only fitting that the Farmers Insurance Open came down to a wedge.

Ben Crane had a one-shot lead and stood 82 yards from the 18th hole, the traditional Sunday placement at Torrey Pines just over the water and below a ridge. Michael Sim had 88 yards, effectively the same shot, needing a birdie for hopes of a playoff.

Both used the conforming V-shaped grooves. And both shots spun too much.

The advantage went to Crane, for his ball stopped against the collar of the green allowing him to putt. He didn?t do it very well, leaving himself 30 inches of bumpy green for par to capture his first victory in more than four years. He was surprised, only because he pledged not to keep score and didn?t realize he had won until he was congratulated.

?Did I win?? Crane said to Ryuji Imada, a reaction more common on the ?Price is Right? than the PGA Tour.

Sim hit what he thought was the perfect shot until it spun off the green, forcing him to chip. He missed and made par, settling for a runner-up finish along with Brandt Snedeker and Marc Leishman.
