Chris Wood comes from 5 strokes behind to win Lyoness Open
ATZENBRUGG, Austria – Chris Wood came from five strokes behind to win the Lyoness Open on Sunday for his second European Tour title.
The Englishman had a bogey-free round of 5-under 67 to finish on 15-under 273, two strokes clear of 2009 champion Rafa Cabrera-Bello of Spain.
Overnight leader Gregory Bourdy of France faltered, carding a 78 and dropping to a tie for sixth place. Cabrera-Bello, who was two strokes off the lead going into the final round, shot a 72.
English trio Robert Rock (66), Robert Dinwiddie (68) and Matthew Fitzpatrick (71) shared third, five strokes behind.
“I had in my mind today that, regardless what (Bourdy and Cabrera-Bello) did today, I needed a good score,” Wood said. “That was all I could do.”
Wood set the tone by picking up three strokes on the first six holes, and added two straight birdies on the back nine.
By that time, the Englishman had already overtaken Bourdy and Cabrera-Bello. The Frenchman double-bogeyed the par-3 second and had five bogeys in total, while the Spaniard lost his grip on the trophy after three straight bogeys between the ninth and 11th.
The win capped Wood’s comeback from a wrist injury that ruled him out of the final months of last season after he tripped in the gym and tried to break the fall with his hand.
“I was off injured, broke a bone in my wrist, so I was quite a while away from playing,” he said. “I have been working so hard, so I deserved a victory. But you never know when they are going to come so you take them when you can.”
The 124th-ranked Wood, who won the Qatar Masters two years ago and finished fourth in the PGA Championship at Wentworth three weeks ago, will climb around 40 places in the rankings after becoming the fifth English winner of the Austrian Open and first since Kenneth Ferrie in 2011.
Leaders Alisha Lau and Alexander Smith fight wet conditions at CN Future Links Prairie Championship
Heavy rainfall in Prince Albert, Sask., this morning delayed the start of the second round of the CN Future Links Prairie Championship until mid-afternoon. Despite the wet conditions, Alisha Lau and Alexander Smith did not let the weather dampen their spirits as the competition continued at Cooke Municipal Golf Course.
After the lengthy weather delay, Team Canada Development Squad member Alisha Lau maintained her focus to post a 1-over-par round of 73 to take the lead in the Junior Girls division. The Richmond, B.C., product currently sits at 3-over 147 for the tournament, a single shot ahead of opening round leader Mary Parsons. The Delta, B.C., native posted a round of 79 to fall back into second place at 148. Moving into third place with a second round 73 was Shirin Anjarwalla of Nanaimo, B.C., who sits at 6-over 150 for the tournament.
In the Junior Boys division, first round leader Alexander Smith increased his lead to 5-strokes with a second round of 1-under-par 71. The Calgary, Alta., native mirrored his first round performance by once again eagling his second hole of play. His eagle today came on the par-5 hole 11, after having started his round on hole 10.
Holding second place at 145 are B.C., natives Logan Yanick from Courtenay who posted a 2-under 70 and Josh Miller of Victoria who finished the day at 75. Fellow British Columbian A.J. Ewart from Coquitlam posted the low round of the day, a 4-under par 68, to sit in fourth place at 146.
The top six finishers in the Junior Boys division of each CN Future Links Championship will receive an exemption into the field at the 2015 Canadian Junior Boys Championship. The national championship will be contested at Summerlea Golf and Country Club in Vaudreuil-Dorion, Que., from August 2-6.
The 2015 Canadian Junior Girls Championship will take place in Yorkton, Sask., from August 3-7 at Deer Park Golf Course. Earning entry into this competition will be the top six junior girls from each CN Future Links Championship this season.

Owen, Gomez each shoot 67 to take 54-hole lead at St. Jude
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – England’s Greg Owen has never had a piece of a 54-hole lead on the PGA Tour. Now he hopes he can stay relaxed with the great short game that has him in position to win his first title in his 214th tour event.
And winning would mean so much more than simply having a title on every tour Owen’s ever played.
“Just a huge, huge relief that what you’ve been striving for your whole life you can say you’ve achieved,” Owen said Saturday.
Owen and Fabian Gomez of Argentina each shot a 3-under-par 67 to share a one-stroke lead after 54 holes at the St. Jude Classic, tied at 9-under 201 total.
Swirling wind and tough pins kept everyone guessing on a hectic day at TPC Southwind, where as many as six players had a piece of the lead.
Both Owen and Gomez putted well on the firm greens despite hitting only 11 of 18 greens. Owen needed 26 putts in making four birdies and one bogey, while Gomez had 24 putts despite three bogeys. He had six birdies.
“I’m reading them well, and my pace is good and I feel good with the putter,” Owen said. “I’ve been working hard.”
Gomez credited hitting his driver well and finding fairways with leaving him plenty of short putts.
“I’ve been working since the beginning of the year,” Gomez said through a translator. “You know when you make some putts, the confidence gets higher and the game is easier.”
Brooks Koepka had at least a piece of the lead through the first two rounds and got to 10 under. He finished with a 71 and was tied with Scott Brown (68) for second at 202.
“It was swirling, swirling so much we couldn’t even figure out a wind direction,” Koepka said. “We knew it was coming from the south. Downwind, threw grass up, hit you in the face two seconds later. You never really knew where the wind was.”
Matt Jones (68) and Austin Cook (72) were tied at 204, and David Toms (69) and Camilo Villegas (66) were tied with six others at 205. Phil Mickelson (69) was in a group tied at 207.
Owen, 43, who lives in Florida, has struggled this season, missing five of 12 cuts on tour. His best career finish is second at the 2006 Arnold Palmer Invitational, but his best result this season is a tie for 22nd last November at the Sanderson Farms Championship. He knows this might be his best, last chance at a PGA title.
“I’m in a position where this year my career is probably on the down spiral a little bit,” Owen said. “It’s very upsetting to say that. There’s a lot of young kids coming through. You got to be game. It’s a different game from when I started.”
His lone bogey came at No. 10, and Owen, who shared the 18-hole lead with Koepka and Ryan Palmer, moved atop the leaderboard with Gomez when he birdied the par-3 No. 14 from 11 feet. He also finished with a birdie on No. 18 after hitting his approach to 5 feet.
Gomez, 36, is from the same town in Argentina as Jose Coceres, whom he counts as a mentor. He also has played many rounds with Angel Cabrera the past few years. Gomez tied Jordan Spieth for second at the 2013 Puerto Rico Open, where he had a piece of the 54-hole lead.
“Obviously for me to win on the PGA Tour is like a dream come true, and tomorrow is going to be a really exciting day,” Gomez said. “And you know it’s a day that you don’t have to think too much about the situation and try to play the same way that you played the last few days.”
Gomez birdied four of five holes through No. 6 to grab a piece of the lead at 9 under, and he stayed atop the leaderboard for seven holes. He bogeyed No. 11 after hitting into a back bunker on the par-3 island green, and bogeyed No. 13. He birdied Nos. 15 and 16, getting back to 9 under.
Canadian David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., is tied for 47th after shooting a 1-over 71. He is even for the tournament.
DIVOTS: Seven of the last nine champions at this event, sponsored by FedEx, have come from behind to win. … Cook, a 24-year-old Arkansas native playing just his fourth PGA event, had a share of the lead at 8 under through 13 holes. But he hit his tee shot into the water on the par-3 14th. … Steven Alker of New Zealand also had the lead at 9 under when he eagled the par-5 No. 3, holing out from 17 yards from the rough just off the front of the green. But he shot a 74 and was at 207.
Inbee Park shoots 66, leads after 3rd round at Westchester
HARRISON, N.Y. – South Korean stars Inbee Park and Sei Yong Kim added another chapter to their friendly rivalry on Saturday.
Park shot a 7-under 66 and overtook Kim on the final hole to take a two-stroke lead into the final round of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
Kim, a rookie who came into the day with a one-stroke lead, shot a 69. The two had battled all afternoon each went into the final hole at 13-under par. But Park, who needed just 28 putts Saturday, made her seventh birdie of the day on 18, and Kim missed a 4-foot putt for par.
The 26-year-old Park said her experience in winning this tournament each of the last two years may give her a bit of an advantage Sunday over her 22-year-old countrywoman. Kim has won twice this season, but will be looking for her first major championship on Sunday.
“It feels like the first time is always hard, always hard to do and it puts extra pressure on yourself,” Park said. “But when you’re trying to do the second, third time in a row, it just feels like you’ve done your homework already. So you feel a little bit more relaxed and you kind of know how it feels like and how it’s going to play like.”
Kim said she plans to use the bogey on the 18th as “medicine” on Sunday to help her get better.
She also has a recent history that should give her some confidence. Kim beat Park at the Lotte Open in Hawaii by chipping in to force a playoff and holing out from 154 yards on the first sudden-death hole.
“Well, that’s a past story,” Kim said. “I want to write a new story tomorrow.”
A win here could allow Park to catch top-ranked Lydia Ko in the rankings. Ko missed the cut on Friday, ending her streak of 53 consecutive made cuts.
Park could also tie Annika Sorenstam (2003-05), who is the only golfer who has claimed this title in three consecutive years, an accomplishment Park would list among the most impressive in her career.
“I have to say it would be pretty close to winning three majors in a row,” she said. “That was my biggest accomplishment ever in my career, but if I’m able to do this tomorrow, I think that will definitely be like tied for first.”
Kim and Park will go into Sunday with some separation from the rest of the pack. Suzann Pettersen and 17-year-old Canadian sensation Brooke Henderson each shot a 71. They ended tied with Hall of Famer Karrie Webb for third place at 8-under par, six strokes back of Park.
Henderson is attempting to become the youngest winner of a major championship. She is also looking for a win that would assure her a spot on the Tour next year after being denied an age exemption.
“This year is definitely a learning experience for me,” she said. “It’s a year where I’m trying to play my best and get my card for next year … whether it’s the money list or the win this year, or go to Q-School. My goal is to have full status next year.”
At the other end of the spectrum is Webb. The 40-year-old is attempting to become the second-oldest winner in the 60 year history of the event. Webb was in second place to start the day, but had to overcome bogeys on her first two holes to shoot a 72. She will be trying to win her eighth major.
“If I had told you I was going to shoot 1-under today, I wouldn’t have thought I was going to be six behind,” she said. “It’s going to take a big round tomorrow from me and probably some help from the leaders.
Pettersen is on a hot streak after winning last week in Ontario, for her 15th tour victory, her first since October 2013.
Morgan Pressel is in sixth place. She went 5-under on the back nine to finish a round of 69, including an eagle after on 18.
“When I got to the 18th tee and I saw that the tee was moved up a little bit, plus it was downwind, I said to my caddie, I said definitely we can get there today if we hit a good drive and I did,” she said.
Brittany Lincicome, who won the first LPGA major of the year at the ANA Inspiration, moved into contention and a three-way tie for seventh place.
After dropping two strokes the first eight holes, she made five consecutive birdies on the ninth through 13 holes. The 29-year-old American picked up a sixth on the 15th hole and had a birdie putt lip out on No. 17. She finished with a 69.
“I always like to be coming from behind,” she said. “I don’t like leading after two or three rounds because it makes me more nervous, I have to do more interviews and there’s more attention, so if I’m coming from behind and chasing people, it seems to be more of my comfort zone.”
Hamilton’s Alena Sharp shot a 2-over 75 and is tied for 47th entering Sunday. Sharp is 2-over for the tournament.
Langer coasts into 4th round at Senior Players Championship
BELMONT, Mass. – Bernhard Langer has an eight-stroke lead heading into the final round of the Senior Players Championship, and that doesn’t leave much hope for the golfers chasing him.
The defending champion shot a 4-under 67 in the third round on Saturday and is 16 under in the third senior tour major of the year. Langer has never shot worse than 70 in the final round of the Senior Players.
At the Senior British Open last year, he led by eight strokes after 54 holes and won by 13 – the largest margin of victory in Champions Tour history.
“My goal is to shoot under par. And, if I can do that, it will be very difficult for anyone to catch me,” said Langer, who is trying to become the first repeat winner at the event since Arnold Palmer in 1984-85. “I’m eager to put a `W’ behind my name. But I’m not saying I’m there yet.”
Russ Cochran was even for the day and in second place at the 6,812-yard, par-71 Belmont Country Club.
“He’s a heck of a player and you expect him to take care of his business,” said Cochran, who hasn’t won on the Champions Tour since 2013. “I’m hoping to use this as a building block. … You never know, a victory down the line might start right here.”
Scott Verplank shot a 66 in the third round to move into a four-way tie for third with Colin Montgomerie, Jeff Hart and Guy Boros. Billy Andrade started the day at 1 under and birdied three of the first four holes. He eagled the par-4 eighth hole and finished at 6 under, tied for seventh.
“I knew I needed to shoot a couple of 65s and maybe Bernhard would relax over the weekend,” said Andrade, who is from Bristol, Rhode Island. “But he’s playing so good I don’t know if anyone has a chance.”
After matching 65s in the first two rounds, Langer had a pair of birdies on the front nine and two more on the back in his second straight bogey-free round. He is seeking his 24th victory on the Champions Tour, tying him with Miller Barber for fourth on the career list.
His eight-stroke lead after 54 holes is tied for the largest in the tour’s history. He was ahead by eight after three rounds at Royal Porthcawl last year, matching Jack Nicklaus’ lead in the 1991 Senior PGA Championship.
“Whenever you have a lead on a very good field it takes some really good play,” Langer said. “There are some great champions out there.”
Hale Irwin, who turned 70 on June 3, shot 70 on Saturday. It’s the 18th time he has matched or bettered his age on the Champions Tour.
Montgomerie and Boros each threatened Cochran for second place, improving to 8 under before bogeying the 17th hole. When Langer came around to the 501-yard, par-5, he chipped to six feet to set up another birdie.
“We all kind of marvel at his clarity. He stands over it and he performs,” said Cochran, who will be in the final group with Langer again on Sunday. “So that’s what I take from the day: just how he goes about his business and what a great performer he is.”
Bourdy takes 2-stroke lead into final round of Lyoness Open
ATZENBRUGG, Austria – Gregory Bourdy of France carded a 69 to maintain his lead at the Lyoness Open Saturday, two strokes clear of Spain’s Rafa Cabrera-Bello and five ahead of England’s Chris Wood.
Bourdy, eyeing his fifth European Tour win and the first since the Wales Open two years ago, had four birdies to go 15-under 201.
Cabrera-Bello eagled the par-4 third along with six birdies for a 6-under 66.
Wood trailed Bourdy by four overnight but the Englishman lost another stroke, mainly because of a double bogey on the last hole of his front nine.
Scott Jamieson shot a 7-under 65 for the lowest score of the round and the Scotsman climbed to shared fourth position, six strokes off the lead.
Play was interrupted for more than 90 minutes because of thunderstorms.
Brooks Koepka shoots 3-under 67 for 36-hole lead at St. Jude
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Brooks Koepka is tuning up quite nicely for the U.S. Open at the event he added at the deadline.
Koepka, who had a share of the lead after the first round, shot a 3-under 67 Friday to lead the St. Jude Classic by a stroke after 36 holes. He turned in a four birdie-one bogey round for a 9-under 131.
“Playing solid golf, no mistakes, being very patient, waiting for my opportunities to come,” Koepka said. “And when they have come, I’ve kind of taken advantage of them, but I still feel like I could be about 5, 6 under par … Really haven’t been firing on all cylinders, but good enough to be at the top.”
Austin Cook (64) was at 132. The Arkansas native is playing his tour event after getting a sponsor’s exemption.
“There’s a lot of people here, and I’m sure lot more buying tickets right now to come tomorrow,” Cook said after matching the best round.
TPC Southwind played firmer with temperatures in the 90s drying out the course, and that has greens playing faster along with some tricky pin placements Friday.
Koepka hit 14 of 18 greens for a second straight round and needed 28 putts Friday. The Floridian who won his first career title in February in Phoenix likes his chances going into the weekend as he tries to join Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and Jimmy Walker as multiple winners on tour this season.
“I haven’t blitzed the golf course yet,” Koepka said. “You can shoot 8, 9 under in a round out here. I feel like the greens are so good, you put the ball in the fairway you really take it 8, 9 under. Being in the lead is nice, but would have liked to have been a few more under par.”
Steve Alker briefly had the lead at 10 under with two holes to play only to finish bogey-double bogey. He had a 68-133 total and needed only 23 putts Friday as he got to 10 under with his sixth birdie of the round.
Alker said he picked the wrong club on the par-3 No. 8 where his tee shot landed short of the green leading to his second bogey of the round. Then he put his first three shots on No. 9 – his 18th hole – in the rough leading to double bogey.
The New Zealand native who now lives in Arizona said he wasn’t aware he was the first to 10 under at TPC Southwind.
“It’s a good thing it’s not Sunday and finish two behind that would be bad,” Alker said. “You have to look at the positives and say, `I’ve got two days left.’ I’ve been swinging it pretty good and still learning the putter, so there’s a lot of good things going on.”
Chris Smith (67), Russell Knox (64) and Greg Owen (70) were among seven tied at 134. Ryan Palmer (71) shared the first-round lead with Koepka and Owen and was tied with three others at 135.
At one point Friday, as many as five were tied atop the leaderboard with eight having a piece of the lead at some point.
Koepka was tied with four others when he teed off in the afternoon and promptly birdied his opening hole to take the lead to himself. Koepka, who played at Florida State and joined the PGA Tour last year, took the lead back with consecutive birdies on Nos. 15 and 16.
He called his birdie on the par-5 16th a bit embarrassing after his attempted chip for eagle missed by 3 feet.
Phil Mickelson was tied with seven others at 137 after a 69. He spent some time on the range before his afternoon tee time, which helped him hit better shots both off the tee and with his irons. Mickelson said pin placements kept him from attacking the greens, but he agrees that this course can give up even a 7-under round to anyone making birdies.
“The swing is starting to feel a lot better,” Mickelson said. “I feel a lot more confident on where the ball is going to go, and so hopefully I’ll be able to put it together tomorrow and have a good round and get in contention.”
Divots: Steven Bowditch and Retief Goosen were among those missing the cut at 1 over with 76 playing the weekend. … David Hearn had his hole-in-one on tour on No. 4 with a 6-iron from 185 yards and shot 68 to make the cut, and Hudson Swafford had an ace on No. 14 with a 9-iron from 169 yards. Hearn said this was his eighth overall and first since holing out on No. 8 here in a practice round with the same club. … Kevin Chappell tied the course record with a 29 on the back nine with six birdies. He finished with a 64-135.
Other Canadians in the field to miss the cut include Corey Conners (72), Mike Weir (75) and Roger Sloan (79).
Henderson 2-shots back of the lead in Westchester
HARRISON, N.Y. – Sei Young Kim of South Korea has already won twice in her rookie season on the LPGA Tour.
Now the 22-year-old is taking aim at a major title, making an eagle on the 15th hole for a 5-under 68 Friday and a one-shot lead after the second round of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
Kim overtook Hall-of-Famer Karrie Webb, who birdied the 18th for a 71. Kim, who turned pro in 2010 and played on the LPGA of Korea Tour, shot bogey-free golf to finish at 8-under 138 at the Westchester Country Club.
“My goal for this year is to become top five,” Kim said through an interpreter, “and if I win a major, I could be one step closer.”
Two-time defending champion Inbee Park (68) joined Webb a stroke back.
Suzann Pettersen rallied with seven birdies for the best round of the day at 66 and tied Canadian teenager Brooke Henderson (73) at 6 under. Overnight leader Jenny Shin (75) and third-ranked Stacy Lewis (71) were three shots behind the leader.
Pettersen improved her score from the opening round by eight shots, making seven birdies from No. 5 to No. 15. Coached by Butch Harmon, Pettersen was coming off a win in Canada.
“I felt my speed of the greens was a little bit off yesterday. But stuck to the game plan,” she said. “I didn’t practice much after. I’m right where I want to be.”
Top-ranked Lydia Ko (76) missed the cut, which was 2 over, ending her streak of 53 consecutive made cuts. She had a double bogey on No. 2 to start her day and finished with four bogeys and three birdies.
“I just made a double and just couldn’t get anything turned around,” said the 18-year-old from New Zealand. “I missed a lot of 9-footers. I made two good putts the last two holes; it was already kind of too late.”
Kim won LPGA Tour events in the Bahamas and Hawaii this year. She said she likes the West Course, and watched a talented male pro play on the longtime home of the PGA Tour event now called The Barclays.
“I was inspired by Tiger Woods, how he was able to make shots and shot-making,” Kim said.
The 40-year-old Webb had three birdies and a bogey on the par-3 16th on another steamy day with temperatures in the 80s, which helped dry the greens. She hit her pitch shot within 5 feet on the par-5, 525-yard final hole.
“Nice to finish with a birdie on the last,” Webb said. “It was a little bit more difficult today. I think the greens really dried out a little bit. It was still quite challenging to get the ball close to the hole.”
The 17-year-old Henderson had five birdies and five bogeys in an up-and-down round with her father Dave as caddie. After three-putting on her final hole Thursday to finish a shot behind Shin, she bogeyed two of the first five holes on Friday.
She hit her approach shot at No. 17 within 8 feet for a possible birdie putt and a tie for the lead, but it ran past on the right.
“I didn’t have my A game,” said Henderson, playing in her fourth major. “I hit a lot of shots just really close to being really good but would just roll off the back because the greens. Just one of those days you have to learn from and move on.”
Henderson, who turned pro in December, is playing on a sponsor exemption because she is below the LPGA Tour’s age requirement of 18.
“It’s really exciting seeing my name up there with Stacy Lewis and Karrie Webb and all the big names,” she said. “It’s awesome. I think I just have to stay patient, stay consistent and keep working on my game and I think good things will happen.”
After shooting a bogey-free, 7-under 66 Thursday for a one-stroke lead after the opening round, Shin needed nine more shots on Friday. The 22-year-old Shin, who is seeking her first major, started on No. 10 and eagled the par-5, 525 yard 18th hole. But she had bogeys on Nos. 2, 4, 6 and 8, with a birdie on No. 7, to finish the front nine at 39.
“I wanted to shoot under par and try to get away from everybody as much as possible and do the Jordan Spieth and win by like 10 shots,” Shin said. “But I was so frustrated, and I think that’s one of the reasons why I made so many bogeys.”
Lewis recovered from a double bogey on No. 2 with consecutive birdies on the sixth and seventh holes and capped her round with a tap-in birdie at the 18th.
“I think the officials didn’t quite like the 7 under they saw yesterday, so the golf course was set up a lot tougher,” said Lewis, a two-time major winner. “It played more like a major, which I like.”
Lexi Thompson, Cristie Kerr, and British teenager Charley Hull were in a group at 4 under. Hull, tied for the lead at 8 under at the 12th, bogeyed four of the last six holes to finish at 74.
Michelle Wie, bothered by ankle and hip injuries, birdied the 18th for a 72 to make the cut.
Canadian Alena Sharp shot a 1-over-par 74 today to make it to the weekend. Rebecca Lee-Betham shot a round of even par today but missed the cut along with fellow Canadian Sue Kim.
Pair of 16-year-olds top leaderboards to open CN Future Links Prairie Championship
The sun was out as junior golfers took to Cooke Municipal Golf Course for the first round of the 2015 CN Future Links Prairie Championship in Prince Albert, Sask. Alexander Smith and Mary Parsons, both 16 years of age, shot 69 to top their respective leaderboards.
Alexander Smith registered the day’s only score in the 60s in the Junior Boys division. The Calgary, Alta., native set an early pace for his round by recording an eagle on the second hole en route to a 3-under par 69. Josh Miller of Victoria, B.C., sits one shot back after a 2-under 70. In third place, from Yorkton, Sask., is Kade Johnson who opened with a 1-over-par round of 73.
Delta, B.C., native Mary Parsons carded a 69 to lead the Junior Girls Division following an impressive round that included seven birdies.
