PGA Tour – Travelers Championship

Russell Knox nicknamed himself "The Beast" after playing two good rounds at the Travelers Championship.

He doubled down on that Sunday after sinking a 12-foot putt on the final hole to save par and beat hometown favorite Jerry Kelly by a stroke, hours after Jim Furyk shot the first 58 in PGA TOUR history.

"I felt like the Incredible Hulk when it went in," Knox said. "I could have ripped my shirt off."

Knox closed with a 2-under 68 for a 14-under 266 total at TPC River Highlands. The 31-year-old Scot won for the second time on TOUR, following his breakthrough victory in China in November in the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions.

Kelly, the 49-year-old former University of Hartford player, finished with a 64.

Furyk tied for fifth at 11 under. He opened with rounds of 73, 66 and 72.

Knox opened with consecutive 67s and had a 64 on Saturday. He took the lead with birdies at 13 and 14. He bogeyed the par-3 16th, and missed a chance to seal it on the par-3 17th when his 20-foot birdie putt stopped an inch right of the hole.

The Scot hit his tee shot on the par-4 18th right and into the crowd, and his second shot into a green-side bunker below the hole. He pitched out short of the hole, setting up a putt that went straight into the hole. He didn't tear his shirt off, but did send his hat flying in celebration.

"Everybody dreams of making a putt on the last hole to win a tournament," he said. "I just kept telling myself, this is your chance to make a putt to have a great celebration and hear the roars. I'm glad it went in."

Web.com – Digital Ally Open

It took two extra holes, but Wesley Bryan is PGA TOUR-bound, thanks to his playoff victory at the Digital Ally Open at the Nicklaus Golf Club at LionsGate.

His third win of the season came after he hit, what he called, the shot of his life, on the par-3 17th. After he, J.T. Poston and Grayson Murray all made birdies on the par-4 18th, they retreated to the 17th for what turned out to be the final time. Murray missed his chip long, and Poston left his putt short. That set the stage for Bryan, who had left himself about 2 feet for the win.

“I couldn’t believe that I had won another golf tournament,” he admitted Sunday. “One is just crazy to think about, two is even crazier, and to think I’ve won three times out here and got the promotion. Coming into this year, that wasn’t even in the realm of possibility.”

European Tour – Aberdeen Asset Management Paul Lawrie Match Play

Anthony Wall beat Alex Noren in the Aberdeen Asset Management Paul Lawrie Match Play final to win his second European Tour title a record 16 years and 204 days after his maiden victory.

The Englishman’s wait between titles is the longest in European Tour history, while the 431 events since his first triumph in South Africa surpasses the previous high of 276 set by Christy O’Connor Jnr.

Wall overcame a sluggish start at Archerfield and eventually secured a one-up win over favourite Noren, who missed out on a Scottish double following his victory at Castle Stuart last month.

Wall, who finished as a runner-up seven times between victories, said: “It’s funny – the other one in 2000 felt like yesterday!

“It’s amazing because it’s such a hard job to beat everyone because everyone is so good.

Challenge Tour – Swedish Challenge hosted by Robert Karlsson

Joël Stalter claimed his maiden European Challenge Tour title in dramatic fashion, holding his nerve during a two-hole play-off to win the Swedish Challenge hosted by Robert Karlsson.

The Frenchman started the day five behind overnight leader Jeff Karlsson, but reduced the deficit over the front nine with four birdies at Katrineholms GK.

The 24 year old then picked up a further birdie on the 17th, but then bogeyed the 18th, to draw level on 12 under par with Wales’s Oliver Farr and England’s Ben Stow.

After all three made par at the first play-off hole, the par four 18th, it was Stalter who raised his game, hitting an exquisite second shot for a birdie chance which he took full advantage of.

And the Frenchman, whose victory takes him to ninth place in the Road to Oman Rankings, was delighted to have achieved his first professional win.

“At the start of the day wining was not on my mind at all,” said Stalter, who also earned an invite for next month’s KLM Open with today’s win.

Sunshine Tour – Sun City Challenge

It took him over three years to get his fourth victory on the Sunshine Tour, and Oliver Bekker got it done on Saturday with a one-stroke victory over Shaun Norris in the Sun City Challenge played at the Gary Player Country Club.

Bekker carded a final-round of three-under-par 69 to pull clear of Norris with whom he shared the 36-hole lead. He finished on six-under-par 210, and Ockie Strydom was third behind Norris on four-under-par for the tournament, with Danie van Tonder, who closed with a 67, the best round of the day, in fourth a further three strokes back.

“The win is a big surprise, to be honest,” said Bekker. “I haven’t been playing the best golf, but I found a little something and I was trying to rely on that. I was trying to remember all the good rounds and good shots that I played before, because there’s a lot of pressure out there.”

PGA Tour Canada – ATB Financial Classic

Due to heavy overnight rain that led to subsequent flooding of the area around Country Hills Golf Club, the final round of the ATB Financial Classic was cancelled after the golf course was rendered unplayable.

Having carried a two-stroke victory through 54 holes after a 7-under 65 on Saturday, England’s Charlie Bull earned his first career Mackenzie Tour – PGA TOUR Canada victory with a 16-under 200 total.

“I don’t think it’s sunk in yet. It’s so cool to win my first ever pro tournament,” Bull said. “It’s bizarre the way it’s all panned out. But I played great golf and even though it’s unfortunate not to have a four-round tournament I’m still so happy with how I played.”

The 24-year-old took a one-stroke lead to the back nine on Saturday with plenty of players making birdies behind him. Having never experienced holding a lead before, Bull’s performance under pressure proved his worthiness as a champion.

“To play the way that I did under the pressure yesterday knowing that I was leading and knowing there was bad weather coming in was really exciting to me,” Bull said. “I had never led a Mackenzie Tour event. I had been around the lead before, but to be able to hold the lead pretty much throughout the entire round, that’s exciting to me as a golfer. It’s what we play golf for.”

Pro Golf – Gut Bissenmoor Classic

With a three meter putt Frenchman Mathieu Fenasse secured himself the first victory of his professional carreer: On day three of the Gut Bissenmoor Classic the 24-year-old triumphed in an exciting 18-hole duel with Rory McNamara from Ireland on the last green, as his birdie made him score 12 under par (67, 65, 69) - a one-stroke advance. Fenasse earns 5000 ranking points and by that, the fifth rank of the Pro Golf Tour Order of Merit.

Asian Development Tour – Aboitiz Invitational

Local stalwart Jay Bayron delighted the home crowd when he closed with a two-under-par 70 to win by two shots for his second Aboitiz Invitational title as well as his fourth Asian Development Tour (ADT) win on Saturday.

Bayron, who won the tournament when it was inaugurated in 2011, fired four birdies against two bogeys to tame the notorious Wack Wack Golf and Country Club’s East course with a winning total of six-under-par 282 in the US$100,000 ADT event.

Olympic-bound Gavin Green signed for a 69 to settle for second place while Thailand’s Rattanon Wannasrichan came in one shot back in third following a similar 69 in what is the 18th leg of the ADT schedule this season.

Indonesia’s George Gandranata (70) finished in fourth place with Asian Tour regular Antonio Lascuna (71) of the Philippines on 286 while overnight leader Nicolas Paez of the United States slipped to tied-sixth place on 288 following a disappointing 77.

Daniel loop snatched second career ECCO Tour victory when he won Saturday Made in Denmark Qualifier Skjoldenæsholm Golf Center. In addition loop was also Tinning and Lindström ready for Made in Denmark.

Loop started the day six strokes behind the leader Nicolai Tinning, but a blazing for nine in five under par despite difficult conditions meant that loop sought and passed Tinning. In the last nine holes players struggled in earnest with the strong winds and fast greens. Loop and Niklas Lindström was long side by side in 10 under par, while Tinning unfortunately had played itself off the lead.

Lindström was the first man on the field Saturday with a round in impressive seven under par, he had put himself comfortable in the clubhouse but an overall score of 10 under, while the others struggled with the increasing wind.

On the 18th hole had Daniel Løkke two putts to secure victory, but the otherwise well-playing Holstebro Player missed from about one meter money, and then had to be "extra time" in order to collect the win.

“I am very happy to win,” said Gane, who also wins a brand new Motocaddy S1 Lithium trolley, Bushnell Tour X Range Finder and Bolle Sunglasses. “Anything can happen out there and it is a great feeling to be taking the trophy home.
