Ben Griffin rocketed up the leaderboard and into the winner’s circle at the World Wide Technology Championship with a closing round of 9-under 63 which produced a two-shot triumph.

The American began the day two behind Garrick Higgo but played his way into contention with an opening nine of 4-under 32 before three birdies in a row from the 10th.

Further red numbers at the 16th and 18th capped a superb round and ensured Griffin held off Chad Remey (65) and Sami Valimaki (64).

Overnight leader Higgo shot 68 to share 4th with Trevor Cone. 

LPGA Tour: Hataoka wins rain-affected Japan Classic

Nasa Hataoka holed a 10-footer for par at the first extra hole to defeat Yuna Araki in the weather-affected Japan Classic.

Torrential rain rendered the course largely unplayable so the final round was scrapped altogether.

Instead, the tournament was to be decided by the players’ 54-hole totals.

Hataoka and Araki shared the lead through three rounds on 15-under par, Hataoka shooting a third round 4-under 68 and Araki an impressive 65.

The par-4 18th was converted into a makeshift par-3 for the playoff. In the end, Hataoka’s 3 was good enough with Araki unable to do better than a bogey-4.

Aaron Rai birdied the first hole of sudden-death to defeat Tommy Fleetwood and win the Abu Dhabi Championship.

Rai held a slender one-shot advantage over his fellow Englishman with a round to play. Fleetwood though drew level via a round of 6-under 66 which featured four birdies and an eagle-3 at the 2nd.

Rai meanwhile reeled off four birdies in a row from the 4th in a round of 67 which ended with birdies at two of his final three holes. 

Rai may have parred the par-5 18th in regulation but would go one better in the playoff, his birdie-4 pipping Fleetwood’s par-5 to secure the third title of his DP World Tour career.

Casey Jarvis held off a strong challenge from Ryan van Velzen by shooting a 4-under 68 in the final round to win the Hyundai Open by a shot.

The early part of the tournament was marred by thunderstorms which resulted in lengthy delays over the first couple of days. This had seemingly no effect on Jarvis who sandwiched a 9-under 63 either side of rounds of 67, opening up a two shot lead in the process. 

Van Velzen played his way into contention on the final day with an outward-nine of three-under 33. Birdies at the 16th and 17th and a round of 66 meant he set the clubhouse lead at 22-under.

After a sluggish 1-under front-nine, Jarvis picked up three birdies in a row from the 13th before parring his final three holes to pip Van Velzen to the title.
