« UPDATE: Day two final scores | Main | Schilling back in Boston to have his shoulder examined »

Faxon runner-up a

Brad Faxon made quite the run at it, but problems on the back nine meant that for the fifth time, the co-host of the CVS Caremark Charity Classic finishes as the runner-up.

Faxon and teamamte Zach Johnson needed to birdie the 18th hole today to force a playoff with Stewart Cink and J.J. Henry at minus-20. Things weren't looking so good when Faxon's tee shot went onto the crushed shell cart path near the 16th. But his relief spot -- the ball had also landed behind one of the electric scoreboards -- gave him a favorable spot and he gave himself about a 12-footer for the tie.

Johnson's birdie try was a little bit longer, and he put it just inches right of the cup.

Faxon and Johnson had a two-shot lead after 11 holes, but Cink-Henry birdied the 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th holes to get to 20-under. Faxon-Johnson, at minus-17 after a birdie on 11, added just two more the rest of the way.

The trophy presentation is taking place right now near the 18th green, and then Cink-Henry and Billy Andrade and Brad Faxon will all be brought into the interview area.

Here are the final scores, along with their prize money:

Stewart Cink-J.J. Henry..............60-62--122 ($250,000)
