FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) Justin Rose closed with a 6-under 64 and finished at 20 under Sunday at Colonial for a three-stroke victory over U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka in the Fort Worth Invitational.

Rose won for the ninth time on the PGA Tour and became the fifth player with multiple victories this season. Rose also won the HSBC Champions in Shanghai in the fall. The 37-year-old from England earned $1,278,000 and a plaid jacket for winning at Hogan’s Alley. He moves to No. 3 in the world and will have a mathematical chance to reach No. 1 next week at the Memorial.

Koepka shot 63, but had started the day four strokes behind Rose in the final group. Emiliano Grillo shot 64 and finished third at 16 under.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) Minjee Lee birdied the 18th hole Sunday for a one-stroke victory over In-Kyung Kim at the LPGA Volvik Championship.

Lee, who turned 22 on Sunday, three-putted for a bogey on No. 17, dropping into a tie with Kim, who finished her round around the same time. So Lee needed a birdie to win on 18, a reachable par 5. Her second shot landed a few feet to the right of the green, and she calmly chipped to about 3 feet

Kim (67) shot a 32 on the back nine and birdied No. 18, but it wasn’t enough to force a playoff at Travis Pointe Country Club.

Moriya Jutanugarn (65) finished third at 14 under.

Lee took a two-stroke lead into the final round, and that was her margin over playing partner Stacy Lewis before Lewis (71) bogeyed No. 7 and 8. Kim emerged as the biggest threat to Lee when she birdie..

BENTON HARBOR, Mich. (AP) Paul Broadhurst wishes he had played this well in his 23 years on the European Tour.

”I know a lot more about my swing now and I guess you get that with age and experience,” the 52-year-old Englishman said after shooting an 8-under 63 on Sunday to win the Senior PGA Championship by four strokes and match the best 72-hole score in tournament history.

Broadhurst finished at 19-under 265 at Harbor Shores for his second senior major victory. The 63 was the best fourth-round score by a winner. Rocco Mediate also shot 19 under at Harbor Shores in 2016.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) Justin Rose got his first PGA Tour victory at Jack Nicklaus’ tournament. His latest came after finishing 20 under at Hogan’s Alley, three strokes ahead of defending U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka.

”If you are able to win at a course that has great history, has had great champions, and if I begin to look at the courses I’ve won at, this definitely strengthens that group even more,” Rose said after his closing 6-under 64 Sunday in the Fort Worth Invitational.

Along with the plaid jacket that comes with winning at Colonial, the longest-running PGA Tour event still played at its original site (since 1946), Rose added to an impressive list of traditional courses where he has won.

There was that victory at Muirfield Village in the 2010 Memorial, and the 2013 U.S. Open at Merion among his nine PGA Tour wins. His 11 international victories include the 2014 Scottish Open at Royal Aberdeen Golf Club, and the 2007 Volvo Masters at Valderram..

VIRGINIA WATER, England (AP) Even as he took apart Wentworth with one of his best rounds of 2018, Rory McIlroy knew something wasn’t quite right.

”There was still enough loose shots in that first 36 holes to know that, OK, it’s not quite there,” McIlroy said of the three-shot lead he held going into the weekend at the BMW PGA Championship.

So it didn’t really come as a surprise to the former world No. 1 that his game slightly unraveled on Saturday and Sunday.

McIlroy followed up his masterful 7-under 65 on Friday – ”the best round I’ve ever seen,” according to playing partner Alex Noren – with scruffy rounds of 71 and 70 to come up short at the European Tour’s flagship event.

He finished in second place on Sunday, two shots behind Francesco Molinari.

McIlroy has been working on some swing changes with coach Michael Bannon in Florida, and he said it was a work in progress.

”When you’re working through a bit of a swing change or a swing tweak, it takes ..

VIRGINIA WATER, England (AP) Rory McIlroy left his victory charge too late at Wentworth as Francesco Molinari delivered a clinic in front-running to win the BMW PGA Championship by two shots with a 4-under 68 on Sunday.

McIlroy, who led by three strokes at halfway, entered the final round tied for the lead with Molinari on 13 under par but a Sunday shootout at the European Tour’s flagship event never really materialized.

Instead, as McIlroy toiled to a 70 that was propped up by birdies on the par fives at Nos. 17 and 18, Molinari went bogey-free for a second straight day to claim the fifth victory of his career and the biggest since a World Golf Championship in Shanghai in 2010.

The Italian only dropped two shots all week and finished on 17-under 271, with McIlroy alone in second place. Alex Noren (67) and Lucas Bjerregaard (65) were tied for third place a stroke further back.

Molinari moved into the automatic qualifying places for the Ryder Cup, which ..

IBARAKI, Japan (AP) Shota Akiyoshi of Japan shot a 2-under-par 70 on Sunday to win the Mizuno Open and qualify for the British Open.

Akiyoshi offset three bogeys with five birdies at the Royal Golf Club in Ibaraki, Japan, to finish 1 under overall and secure his first ever tournament win on the Japan Golf Tour.

Michael Hendry of New Zealand and Japanese golfers Masahiro Kawamura and Masanori Kobayashi were tied for second one stroke off the pace to also qualify for The 147th Open at Carnoustie, Scotland, from July 19-22.

Hendry, who led the tournament coming into the final round, came close to forcing a playoff with Akiyoshi but dropped a shot with a bogey on the final hole when he needed a par to draw level.

Hendry will make his second appearance at the British Open after qualifying at the Mizuno Open for the second year in a row.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) In-Kyung Kim began her round with a flurry of birdies, and Stacy Lewis – playing five months’ pregnant – closed hers out in similar fashion.

They both still have work to do if they’re going to catch Minjee Lee, whose steady consistency has been enough so far.

Lee shot a 4-under 68 on Saturday to take a two-stroke lead into the final round of the LPGA Volvik Championship. She capped a bogey-free third round with a birdie on No. 18 to get to 12 under, and now the Australian standout will try to celebrate her birthday with her first victory of the year. She turns 22 on Sunday.

”It was pretty solid today,” Lee said. ”I didn’t make any bogeys. Just four birdies on the card. Yeah, that’s pretty good.”

Expecting her first child in November, Lewis birdied five of the last six holes for a 67. She finished the day at 10 under along with Kim (67), who birdied six of the first eight holes and shot a 31 on the front nine.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) Justin Rose birdied the first three holes to quickly extend his lead at the Fort Worth Invitational and finished with a 4-under 66 on Saturday to take a four-stroke advantage into the final round at Colonial.

Rose, the 2013 U.S. Open champion and Olympic gold medalist with eight PGA Tour victories, was 14 under. Emiliano Grillo, his playing partner, shot 69 and was at 10 under with Brooks Koepka, who had a 67.

After a two-putt birdie at the opening par 5, Rose had back-to-back birdie putts to get to 13 under. That put him four strokes ahead of Grillo, who had eight pars in a row before consecutive birdies on Nos. 9 and 10.

The closest Grillo got after the opening stretch was three strokes, when he was 11 under with an 8-foot birdie at No. 10. Rose regained his four-stroke edge with birdie at the 616-yard 11th hole, and his only bogey was at the 173-yard 16th, when the tee shot settled on the back fringe and he then missed a 5-foot ..

BENTON HARBOR, Mich. (AP) Scott McCarron has been in the final group on Sunday six times in the last two years with four wins, including a major championship.

For Tim Petrovic, it will be something new in his first full year as a senior.

McCarron made his only bogey of the third round on the final hole to shoot a 5-under 66 and slip into a tie for the lead Saturday with Petrovic in the Senior PGA Championship. They were at 13 under par after Petrovic, seeking his first win as a senior and first major championship, shot 6-under 65.

”Well, I certainly feel comfortable being in the hunt, being in the last groups,” said McCarron, who shot 66 and has shared the lead after each round this week at Harbor Shores. ”I’ve learned a lot over the last couple of years playing with Bernhard Langer. I’ve been fortunate enough to play with him in a lot of final groups and second-to-last groups, and battled it out with him and watched him. So I don’t really let that kind ..
