SOUTH African Fulton Allem made up seven strokes yesterday to win the

Independent Insurance Agents Open in Texas by one shot from Tom Kite,

Billy Ray Brown, and Mike Hulbert.

off the pin and scattering nuts and bolts on the green. His ball bounced

within inches of the cup and rolled about 10 feet away. He missed the

putt. Leading scores: (USA unless stated):
