PGA Tour – FedEx St. Jude Classic

Killing time during a three-hour rain delay Sunday, Phil Mickelson ribbed Daniel Berger about having won the PGA TOUR rookie of the year award without a victory.

That was a bit of a sore spot for the ultra-competitive 23-year-old Floridian.

Berger answered once the thunderstorms ended by winning the FedEx St. Jude Classic for his first title. He shot a 3-under 67 to hold off Mickelson, Steve Stricker and Brooks Koepka by three strokes.

"To kind of get it done today means a lot," Berger said.

Berger had never been in a final pairing until Sunday. First Mickelson needled him in the players' dining area while everyone waited out the lightning. Then, Mickelson, with his 42 career PGA TOUR titles, closed within a stroke on the back nine. Berger responded with birdies on three of his next four holes, highlighted by a 32-foot putt on the par-3 14th that pushed his lead to 13 under.

He finished at 13-under 267. He became the 13th first-time winner on tour this season and took home the winner's check of $1.1 million in the 50th start of his career.

European Tour – Lyoness Open powered by Sporthilfe Cashback Card

China's Ashun Wu has claimed his second European Tour title after winning the Lyoness Open powered by Sporthilfe Cashback Card by a single shot.

The 30 year old, whose previous victory came at the Volvo China Open last year, finished the week on 13 under after carding a closing 69 on Sunday.

Spain's Adrian Otaegui finished second on 12 under, with Englishman Richard McEvoy another stroke back after dropping his only shot of the day at the 18th.

Beginning the day one shot behind overnight leader Zander Lombard, Wu opened his round with a birdie at the first to join the South African at the top of the leaderboard.

Wu grabbed the outright lead when he tapped in his birdie putt at the third, and despite hitting a tree branch with his second shot, he made a remarkable birdie at the fourth to extend his advantage to two strokes.

PGA Tour China - Lanhai Open

Australia’s Rohan Blizard had just hit his opening tee shot in the final round of the Lanhai Open—a drive right down the middle of the fairway—when officials blew the horn halting play because heavy rain had caused unplayable conditions. The rain subsided enough to get players back on the course, but Blizard, playing in the final group with China’s Zecheng Dou and American Jarin Todd, only played two holes before the rain came again. Officials assessed the forecast and the course and elected to cancel the final round, giving Blizard, the 54-hole leader, the title. Dou and Todd tied for second.

“Our intention is to always play 72 holes. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate today, and that much water in such a short period of time made it impossible to finish the final round. Lanhai International drains very well, but the consistent showers that started early and didn’t let up left parts of the course unplayable,” explained Ping An Bank China Tour – PGA TOUR China Series Executive Director Greg Carlson.

The fourth, sixth and 16th greens were especially problematic. Carlson hoped for a window where the rain would let up in the afternoon, giving half the field a chance to finish its round and opening the door for a Monday finish. But the rain continued to fall, and by 6 p.m., it was still coming down.

“The course was too saturated and just couldn’t hold any more water,” Carlson added. “When we called the end of play at 2:40 p.m., there was no choice but to cancel the fourth round and revert back to the third-round scores, making it a 54-hole, official event.”

“It’s a different feeling winning without having to play a final round,” said Blizard. “To me it hasn’t sunk in yet because I’ve only played three rounds. But I’ll definitely take the win and feel good about it.”

Challenge Tour – KPMG Trophy

Simon Forsstrom carded a seven under par 64 on the final day of the KPMG Trophy to climb up the leaderboard and secure a maiden victory on the European Challenge Tour.

Starting the day two shots back from overnight leader Alexander Knappe, the Swede made the perfect start at Cleydael Golf and Country Club, picking up a birdie at the par five first.

The 27 year old then made two further gains over the front nine to reach the turn in 33, putting himself firmly in contention going into the home straight.

Despite challenges from England’s Steven Tiley and Germany’s Knappe, it was Forsstrom who stole the show, making two further birdies and an eagle at the 17th which handed the Swede a sublime two shot victory.

“It feels really great and I played the perfect round,” said Forsstrom, who earned his playing rights for the 2016 Road to Oman after finishing inside the top five in the satellite Nordic Golf League last season.

“It was a brilliant round. I made a birdie at the first, fifth and ninth and then over the back nine I was driving the ball really well. I put it to inches on the 13th hole and it nearly went in for eagle.

“Through the last four holes I could see I was near the top and I knew I had to go even lower. When I made eagle on the 17th it was a great feeling and I knew at that moment that I had won.

Web.com Tour – Rust-Oleum Championship

Max Homa erased a seven-shot deficit Sunday with a final-round, 5-under 67 to squeak out a one-shot victory over Josh Teater and John Mallinger at the Rust-Oleum Championship at Ivanhoe Club. Playing four groups ahead of the final group, the 2013 NCAA individual champion posted 13-under 275 and then had to wait nearly 45 minutes to see if it’d hold. It did as Teater, the 54-hole leader, was unable to make par at the last to force a playoff.

“I thought I was going to be in a playoff,” Homa said. “Those last three holes are very hard, and I’d be very impressed and he’d be a worthy champion if he made a birdie. But I got a little lucky there.”

PGA Tour Canada - GolfBC Championship

Syracuse, New York’s Dan McCarthy took a commanding lead on the Mackenzie Tour – PGA TOUR Canada Order of Merit Sunday, cruising to victory at the inaugural GolfBC Championship at Gallagher’s Canyon Golf and Country Club.

The 30-year old managed a final round 7-under 64, including a hole out from 102 yards on the par-5 12th, to win by seven over Vancouver, B.C.’s Ryan Williams. McCarthy shot 25-under 259 for the week, setting the new PGA TOUR-era scoring record on the Mackenzie Tour for 72 holes.

With the win, McCarthy strengthens his lead atop the Order of Merit to $30,053 over Adam Cornelson, putting him in position to earn exempt status on the Web.com Tour for 2017.

“It hasn’t even fully hit me yet, but I’m sure it will on the way home when I have some time to decompress.” said McCarthy, who also claimed victory two weeks ago at the Freedom 55 Financial Open. “It feels so good. I’ve worked really hard for a really long time, so this is a really nice culmination of it all.”

Nordic Golf League - Osterlen PGA Open hosted by Ingelsta Kalkon

Ola Johansson from Trummenäs won Osterlen PGA Open hosted by Ingelsta Turkey with a total score of -5, one stroke ahead of runners-Ludwig North Klint and Niclas Johansson.

MENA Golf Tour - South to East Challenge

Brimming with confidence following his sublime win in Pretoria last week, Bryandrew Roelofsz will be hoping to keep the momentum going when he tees it up at the Jo’burg City Masters on Monday.

The 24-year-old led from start to finish to complete an impressive one-shot victory at the South to East Challenge, the first of a three-event MENA Golf Tour odyssey in South Africa, co-sanctioned by the Sunshine Big Easy Tour.

Highlighted by Roelofsz’s win, the R500,000 event saw home players sweep the first five places, showcasing a strong pedigree of golf in South Africa and they will be keen to replicate the same performance at Glendower Golf Club in Johannesburg.

Despite radiating good vibes, Roelofsz preferred to stay grounded and is simply hoping to play well again and see where that leaves him.

“I’m looking forward to the Jo’burg City Masters. Last week’s win was a big boost for me. I’m just trying to get my life in order as I had been out for about two months. It seems to be coming right and you can see that through the golf,” said Roelofsz, the Big Easy Tour’s Order of Merit leader.
