Armour shoots 68, earns 1st career win at Sanderson Farms

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) Ryan Armour’s final round at the Sanderson Farms Championship was downright boring, which was exactly the plan.

The 41-year-old Armour earned his first PGA Tour win on Sunday, shooting a 4-under 68 to beat Chesson Hadley by five shots at the Country Club of Jackson.

Armour began the final round with a five-shot lead and was never seriously challenged. He won for the first time in 105 career starts, nailing fairway after fairway in bright sunshine and cool temperatures to avoid any drama.

”It’s a big monkey off my back, I’m not going to lie,” said Armour, who finished at 19 under for the tournament. ”There’s a lot of emotions running through my head. Part of me wants to fly home immediately and see my wife and kids.

”And part of me wants to go hang out with the boys.”

Jonathan Randolph – a Jackson-area native playing on his home course – briefly made a charge with seven birdies over his first nine holes. That pushed him to 14 un..

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) Cristie Kerr made her 20th career victory on the LPGA Tour one to remember.

Locked in a four-way tie for the lead going to the 18th hole, Kerr made a 35-foot birdie putt for an even-par 71 and a one-shot victory in the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia to cap off a wild finish at the TPC Kuala Lumpur.

Rose wins HSBC Champions in stunning comeback over Johnson

SHANGHAI (AP) Justin Rose took advantage of a record-tying collapse by Dustin Johnson and rallied from eight shots behind to win the HSBC Champions.

Johnson, the world’s No. 1 player going for his third World Golf Championships title of the year, lost a six-shot lead Sunday. That matched the PGA Tour record for largest blown lead in the final round, most recently by Sergio Garcia at Quail Hollow in 2005, and most famously by Greg Norman in the 1996 Masters.

A one-man show turned into a four-man race, and Rose seized on the surprising opportunity in a wild, wind-blown final round.

He shot 31 on the back nine, getting into the game with birdies on the 13th and 14th, saving par with a 10-foot putt on the 15th, and then taking the lead with a birdie on the reachable par-4 16th and perhaps his best shot of the day into 3 feet on the par-3 17th.

It added to a 5-under 67, and he wound up winning by two shots.

”It’s unbelievable,” Rose said. ”We all know ..
