PGA Tour: Fisk out-duels Higgo at Sanderson Farms Championship
|
|
|
|
Steven Fisk birdied four of his final five holes to out-duel Garrick Higgo, winning the Sanderson Farms Championship by two after a closing 8-under 64.
|
Higgo began the day two shots to the good but after turning in 2-under par, his momentum was halted by bogeys at the 10th and 11th. Fisk meanwhile played his opening 11 holes in 4-under par.
|
After Higgo birdied 13, both birdied 14. Higgo's birdie at 15 and a 16th hole which saw the pair trade birdies meant there was nothing in it with two holes to play.
|
|
Unfortunately from a South African perspective, Higgo parred his final two holes while Fisk found two more birdies, earning his maiden title in impressive fashion.

Youmin Hwang reeled off birdies at each of her final four holes to pip Hyo Joo Kim to the Lotte Championship title.
|
It represented Hwang's first LPGA title, best described as a rollercoaster of sorts. A second round 10-under 62 preceded a 75 but she fought back brilliantly in the final round.
|
|
Hwang's penultimate-hole birdie, her fifth of the day, saw her tie the lead with Kim and Hinami Katsu before a birdie-4 at the 72nd hole helped her across the line and into the winner's circle.

Robert MacIntyre shot a 6-under 66 at St Andrews' Old Course to win the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship by four shots from Tyrrell Hatton.
|
Adverse weather conditions saw the event reduced to 54 holes. MacIntyre and Richard Sterne shared the 36-hole lead on 12-under par, MacIntyre opening with rounds of 6-under 66 at both Carnoustie and Kingsbarns. Sterne meanwhile followed a 65 at Kingsbarns with a 67 at St Andrews.
|
MacIntyre was in a class of his own in the final round: Four front-nine birdies preceded three on the inward-half. Not even a a bogey at the famous Road Hole, the 17th, could take the gloss off what was an impressive final round, and tournament performance.
|
|
Sterne closed with a 1-under 71 to share third-place with John Parry while a 65 around The Old Course vaulted Hatton into sole-possession of 2nd-place.

|
|

Tommy Gainey broke through for his maiden PGA Tour Champions victory by signing for a 6-under 66 and a 2-shot win in the Furyk & Friends event.
|
He began the final round four behind overnight leader Matt Gogel who enjoyed a 3-shot 36-hole lead. Gogel endured an up-and-down final round though, carding five bogeys and three birdies for a round of 75 which left him in tied 3rd-place.
|
|
Gainey was far steadier: Two front-nine birdies and three more on the back-nine complemented an eagle-3 at 13. Gainey's only drop of the day came at the 14th before the 50-year-old capped a great come-from-behind victory with a birdie-3 at the final hole, ensuring he eclipsed Cameron Percy who shot a 3-under 69.
