GREER, S.C. – Australia’s Rod Pampling won the Web.com Tour’s BMW Charity Pro-Am on Sunday, finishing with a 5-under 66 for a 25-under 261 total.

The 45-year-old Pampling opened with consecutive 9-under 63s at The Reserve at Lake Keowee and Green Valley Country Club and shot a 69 on Saturday at Thornblade Club – also the site of the final round.

Pampling earned $121,500 for his first career victory on the tour. The two-time PGA Tour winner was two strokes off the tournament record of 27-under 259 set by Mark Anderson in 2013.

Kelly Kraft was two strokes back after a 66.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. – South Korea’s Jimin Kang won the Mission Health Wellness Classic on Sunday for her fourth career Symetra Tour title and first since 2004.

The victory capped a comeback from an allergy problem two years ago that attacked her immune system and made it difficult to breathe and walk on her own.

“I am speechless. That is how amazing this is,” said the 35-year-old Kang, who cried during her emotional victory speech. “I never thought I’d win again. That is why I am so overwhelmed. I can’t believe my name is at the top of the leaderboard.”

A two-time winner on the LPGA Tour, Kang shot 5-under 67 in all three rounds for a five-stroke victory at the Country Club of Asheville. The 11-year span between victories is the longest in tour history.

The former Arizona State player broke the tournament record at 15-under 206 and earned $15,000 to jump from 10th to second on the money list with $32,932.

“This win just lets me know that I can really do this again and God gave me the talent and the health to do this,” Kang said. “This is just awesome.”

Kang is committed to the Symetra Tour in a bid to regain full LPGA Tour status. The final top 10 on the money list will earn 2016 LPGA Tour cards.

“This week, I withdrew from the LPGA event to come here and play,” Kang said. “I think this is a tour that can help me get (to the LPGA) and get stronger.”

Kang had only one bogey in the event, on her 14th hole in the first round.

Lacey Agnew, Brianna Do, Daniela Iacobelli and Brittany Benvenuto tied for second. Agnew closed with a 67, Do shot 68, Iacobelli 69, and Benvenuto 70.

The top Canadians were Samantha Richdale (70) and Muade Aimee LeBlanc. The pair tied for 8th at 8-under.

GAINESVILLE, Ga. – Surrey, B.C. native Adam Svensson captured SwingThought Tour’s Martin Honda Classic on Sunday, marking his third professional victory in just four starts.

The 21-year-old Team Canada member finished at 22-under par through four rounds at the Chattahoochee Golf Club, good enough for a five-stroke margin over runner-up Brent Witcher.

Svensson, who turned professional earlier this year in March, opened with a 6-under 66 and held the lead all the way to earn the wire-to-wire victory.

In total, the 2014 Jack Nicklaus Award winner carded four eagles and 19 birdies en route to the win. Svensson will take home $20,000 (USD) for his efforts, totalling $60,000 so far this season on the SwingThought Tour alone.

TERRASSA, Spain – James Morrison of England won the Spanish Open by four shots after shooting a 3-under 69 in Sunday’s final round.

Morrison entered the day tied for the lead with David Howell and pulled away by making three birdies while not dropping a shot at the Real Club de Golf El Prat. He finished the tournament on a total of 10-under 278.

It was the 30-year-old Morrison’s second career win on the European Tour, and the (EURO)250,000 ($284,000) purse was the biggest of his career. His first win came at the Madeira Islands Open in 2010.

“In years past when I haven’t done it it’s been too much looking at leaderboards and outside influences, and today … (I) stuck to my process all day long and executed, which feels amazing,” Morrison said.

Defending champion Miguel Angel Jimenez rose into a tie for second after the Spaniard eagled the fourth hole en route to a 67. Howell (73), Francesco Molinari (71) and Edouard Espana (69) also shared second.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – When Rory McIlroy rolled in an 8-foot birdie putt on the 13th hole, he started thinking about shooting 59.

He didn’t quite get there Saturday, settling for an 11-under 61 to break the Quail Hollow record and take a four-shot lead in the Wells Fargo Championship.

After making nine birdies in a 10-hole stretch, the top-ranked McIlroy pushed his 7-iron on the par-3 17th hole to the right side of the green 40 feet from the cup. He settled for par and the dream was dashed.

“I was little disappointed with not finishing it off the way I wanted to, but still it was a great run,” McIlroy said.

It was McIlroy’s best round on the PGA Tour, but not his best ever.

He said he had a putt for 59 on the 18th hole at The Bear’s Club in Jupiter, Florida, leading up to the Masters, but missed it.

“I left it short,” McIlroy said with a laugh.

He didn’t leave much short Saturday.

He started the balmy afternoon three shots behind Webb Simpson and Robert Streb.

But after two pars to start the day made five birdies on the front nine for a 31. He didn’t let up on the back, birdieing six of the first seven holes.

McIlroy had a sense early on this could be his day to go low after he saw Justin Thomas shoot a 65 and a few others go low in the morning.

“I knew that there were scores out there to be had – and I got a little more aggressive,” McIlroy said.

That included driving the green on the 345-yard, par-4 14th hole for the fourth time in his career – more than any player in tournament history.

“I feel like it’s one of these courses I can get on a roll with,” McIlroy said.

McIlroy is looking to become the first two-time winner of the event. At 18-under 198, he’s on pace to shatter the tournament record of 16 under set by Anthony Kim in 2008.

McIlroy said the Quail Hollow course sets up perfectly for him, which is why he decided to play the event after some debate.

He set the previous course record of 62 in the final round of his 2010 Wells Fargo victory, and Brendon de Jonge matched it last year.

“It’s funny that it has happened here again,” McIlroy said.

Simpson was second after three rounds, four strokes back after a 68. Streb shot a 71 and was seven shots behind heading into the final round on Sunday.

Phil Mickelson was playing well before a triple bogey on the 18th hole, which has become his nemesis. That dropped Mickelson to 71 on the day and left him 10 shots behind McIlroy and out of contention for a tournament he has never won.

Mickelson double bogeyed the 18th hole Thursday.

When asked what he took away from McIlroy’s round, playing partner Will MacKenzie said: “That he’s way better than me at golf.”

“It’s going to be tough to beat him,” MacKenzie said. “I’m glad that he doesn’t play every week. I mean that guy, he’s just – he’s head and shoulders above me.”

McIlroy’s run proved to be a bit demoralizing for the competition.

Simpson looked up at the scoreboard after his own birdie at 13 figuring he was tied for the lead, only to learn he was three shots back.

“I gave that look like, `Oh, really – on this golf course?'” Simpson said.

Six players have shot 59 in official PGA Tour events. Al Geiberger did it in the 1977 Memphis Classic, Chip Beck in the 1991 Las Vegas Invitational, David Duval in the final round of his 1999 victory in the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, Paul Goydos in the 2010 John Deere Classic, Stuart Appleby in the 2010 Greenbrier Classic and Jim Furyk in the 2013 BMW Championship.

Japan’s Ryo Ishikawa shot the lowest round on a major tour, a 12-under 58 to win the 2010 Crowns on the Japan Tour.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. – France’s Perrine Delacour took advantage of Alison Lee’s late two-hole meltdown to take the third-round lead Saturday in the Kingsmill Championship.

The 21-year-old Delacour birdied three of the final five holes for a 4-under 67. She had an 11-under 202 total on Kingsmill Resort’s River Course.

“I think tomorrow I will be nervous because that’s the first time in the lead,” Delacour said. “So, I’m going to be nervous, but I’ll try to do my best and we’ll see after 18 holes.”

She’s comfortable on the River Course.

“It’s good,” said Delacour, winless in 19 career starts in two seasons on the LPGA Tour. “Pretty similar to European golf courses. It’s good for my game.”

After opening a four-stroke lead, the 20-year-old Lee dropped back with a bogey on the par-4 16th and a four-putt double bogey on the par-3 17th. She finished with a 70, leaving her a stroke behind.

“Poor putting. That was a huge mistake,” Lee said. “That first putt, I didn’t think I would leave it that short. The second putt, I thought it would break right to left. I hit a really firm stroke, felt confident, and ended up breaking to the right and I had a poor putt coming back.”

Still a student at UCLA after turning pro in December, Lee tied for fourth in the Kia Classic in March in California and has three top-25 finishes.

“I’m not too disappointed with my round,” Lee said. “Obviously I am disappointed with those two holes, and definitely affects where I am in position going into tomorrow. I mean, one stroke is a lot out here, and unfortunately I lost two strokes on this hole. Just need to go into tomorrow with confidence and remind myself I’m hitting it well and not think about that hole or putt too much.”

Delacour birdied Nos. 14, 16 and 18 to take the lead.

Paula Creamer, So Yeon Ryu and Minjee Lee were 9 under. Creamer shot 66, Ryu 68, and Minjee Lee 69.

“It was kind of a grind,” Minjee Lee said. “I mean, I didn’t really stuff it up and just play amazing golf. I was just kind of in between. I had a good couple birdies and I had good scrambles.”

Lexi Thompson was 8 under after a 67.

Kelly Tan had a 64, the best round of the week, to move into a tie for 11th at 6 under. She had seven birdies in her bogey-free round.

“My putter was just so hot,” Tan said. “I was hitting my iron shots really good, too. This is a great golf course. Tough to really stick the ball really close to the hole, so I mean, I get a lot of 15-, 20- footers and even 10-footers, and I just didn’t seem to miss them.”

Top-ranked Lydia Ko was tied for 20th at 3 under after a 70.

Youngster Brooke Henderson shot a round of 74 today, placing her 12 shots back of Delacour.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The 18-round battle between Jeff Maggert and Kevin Sutherland ended with dueling putts in a sudden downpour.

Round 18 went to Maggert.

He birdied the final two holes for a 4-under 68 and sole possession of the lead Saturday after the third round of the Champions Tour’s Regions Tradition. Finishing in heavy rain, Maggert reached 14 under after entering the day tied for the top spot with Sutherland at Shoal Creek. Sutherland was left a stroke back when his birdie attempt on No. 18 was short by a couple of inches to set up a tap-in for a 69 under the driving rain.

Both had huddled under umbrellas with their caddies on the suddenly wet green.

“That green, I think, slowed up a little bit,” Maggert said. “Kevin had a really good putt and it just rolled up a little bit short of the hole. If the water hadn’t been on the green, he probably would have made that one. Mine just ran out of gas right on the front in and dropped in.”

Sutherland was alone at the top until a bogey on No. 16 brought him even with Maggert, who had a bogey-free round. Both birdied No. 17.

It’s the lowest 54-hole total in the tournament since Brad Bryant entered the final round at 15-under.

Fred Funk was third at 18 under after a 67. He won the tournament in 2008 and 2010 and nearly closed the gap further on No. 18, grimacing after a near-miss for birdie. Only Jack Nicklaus has won the Tradition more than twice, winning four times.

Maggert is seeking his second win on the Champions Tour. No second-round leader has won the Tradition since Tom Watson in 2003.

He hit a 90-yard wedge shot to a foot on 17. For the second straight day, he set up a birdie from the fairway bunker on 18, this time making about a 12-footer.

“I made some nice par-saving putts,” Maggert said. “I didn’t make a lot of birdies until the end. I was just trying to hang around, be patient. Kevin had a 1-2 shot lead on me most of the day and I just didn’t want him to run away from me too far. “

Seeking his first win on the 50-and-over tour, Sutherland was even-par through seven holes before starting rolling with back-to-back long birdie putts – about 20 feet on No. 8 and 45 feet on the next hole. He had a run of three birdies in four holes starting on No. 8 and wasn’t sweating the ever-so-close last putt.

“I’m not going to lose any sleep over it,” Sutherland said. “It would have been nice to hit it a little bit harder.”

His best Champions Tour finish was a second-place tie at Mississippi in March.

Jeff Hart and Gene Sauers both had 68s to finish five strokes back. Bernhard Langer (70), Tom Pernice Jr. (68) and defending champion Kenny Perry (70) are 7 under.

Funk had three birdies in a four-hole stretch on the first nine holes and birdied three of five holes during another hot streak.

He had been slumping with finishes of 38th, 30th and 59th in his last three Champions Tour tournaments after missing two-plus months starting in February with tendinitis in his left elbow. Funk said he spent about $20,000 on what he described as a magnetic pulse machine that helped speed his return.

“It’s already paid for itself just by getting out here,” he said.

“It is exciting and fun to be back in contention,” Funk said. “I hated watching these guys on TV because I wanted to be out here, and I watched every one of them.”

John Huston, who was sidelined for nearly 18 months with a nerve disorder in his neck, shot a bogey-free 65. He was tied for 10th at 5 under.

TERRASA, Spain – English duo James Morrison and David Howell shared a two-shot lead Saturday after the third round of the Spanish Open.

Morrison carded a 4-under 68 while Howell shot 69 to leave both on a total of 7-under 209 entering Sunday’s final round at the Real Club de Golf El Prat.

Morrison recovered from a double bogey on the second hole by making seven birdies the rest of the way, with one bogey.

“It’s been three very silly days,” Morrison said. “The first day I was 3 over after five holes and today made a seven at the second out of nowhere and fought my way back again. It’s what you’ve got to do really. It takes one good shot to get back in it.”

Howell also double bogeyed the eighth hole but hit seven birdies along with two bogeys.

Francesco Molinari could have joined them atop the leaderboard if not for a double bogey on the 17th, which left the Italian two strokes back after a 70.

Overnight leader Edouard Espana slumped to a 76 that included a double bogey and three bogeys, falling four shots off the pace in sixth place.

Sergio Garcia climbed to a tie for seventh after a 67, while defending champion Miguel Angel Jimenez (72) was another stroke back.

LUBBOCK, Tex. – Team Canada’s Blair Hamilton notched his second collegiate victory of the season Saturday, posting a total score of 8-under par to share co-medalist honours at the NCAA’s Lubbock Regional.

The 21-year-old junior was making his collegiate postseason debut for the University of Houston, becoming the first Cougar in NCAA Regional history to card three consecutive rounds in the 60s (68-69-68).

As the lone Cougar yet to finish the final round, Hamilton birdied the 17^th at the Rawls Course to pull into a tie with Purdue, eventually forcing a playoff. Houston would go on to win the first playoff hole to earn the fifth and final spot in the NCAA Championship—making it the first time Houston had qualified in back-to-back years since 2000-01.

Hamilton, a Burlington, Ont., native, will look to continue his success at the NCAA Championships from May 29–June 3 at The Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Fla.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Webb Simpson a calé deux approches coupées pour des oiselets lors d’une ronde de 67 (moins-5), vendredi, et il partage la tête avec Robert Streb après deux rondes au Championnat Wells Fargo.

Streb a remis une carte de 69 afin de rattraper Simpson à moins-10 après 36 trous à Quail Hollow.

Simpson sait toutefois qu’il aura besoin de nombreux autres bons coups au cours du week-end afin de l’emporter, puisque plusieurs gros noms du golf suivent pas très loin derrière.

Le golfeur no 1 au monde Rory McIlroy et Phil Mickelson accusent trois coups de retard sur les meneurs. Mickelson a joué une ronde de 66 et McIlroy, 67. Martin Flores et Patrick Rodgers partagent le troisième rang à moins-8.

Simpson, qui habite à Charlotte, a envoyé son approche à partir du côté droit du vert dans la coupe au neuvième trou, une normale-4. Il a répété l’exploit au 17e trou, une normale-3, afin de passer en tête.

Les six Canadiens en lice – David Hearn, Nick Taylor, Corey Conners, Adam Hadwin, Roger Sloan et Mike Weir – n’ont pas été en mesure de respecter le seuil de qualification pour les rondes du week-end.
