Justin, Jessica see a fantastic finale

Former "7th Heaven" star Jessica Biel added her celebrity wattage to a heavenly finish Sunday at the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

Biel, 28, watched the three-way playoff drama play out from a VIP skybox overlooking the 18th hole. Occupants were seen exploding with joy when Jonathan Byrd won it with a hole-in-one on No. 17, the fourth extra hole.

Biel, who has been dating Timberlake since 2007, was with Timberlake and his father in the skybox throughout the day. She was wearing an olive-colored jacket and long-feathered earrings and had her hair in a ponytail.

Every so often, she was seen sending a text. Tournament-goers had to turn in their PDAs upon entering the grounds, but we're guessing she had friends in high places.

Timberlake, who was wearing a derby hat, was seen affectionately rubbing Biel's shoulder at times.
