Garcia makes Sunday arrival at Augusta a day for family
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) Sergio Garcia peeled back the blanket and leaned over for another peek at his 3-week-old daughter, sound asleep against her mother’s chest. As his wife chatted with friends, he walked back over to take a purse that dangled from her arm, and then a shopping bag at her feet.
He was much a doting father and husband as he was the Masters champion, and that was only fitting Sunday.
The mood is light the day before Masters week officially begins. It feels more like a day of family and celebration, enhanced by the 60 children moving out from the driving range to the chipping area to the 18th green for the Drive, Chip and Putt competition that has become a tradition since it began five years ago.

Garcia was a big part of that, too.
He became the first defending champion to attend the reception Saturday night. One girl was asked for her best Garcia impersonation from his victory last year, and she crouched, clenched her fists and pumped both ar..

Pernilla Lindberg chasing first pro win at ANA Inspiration
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) Pernilla Lindberg has opened play in the ANA Inspiration, trying to complete a wire-to-wire victory in the major championship for her first professional victory.
The 31-year-old Swede took a three-stroke lead over Amy Anderson into Sunday’s final round at Mission Hills, shooting a 2-under 70 on Saturday for a tournament-record 14-under 202 total.
Olson also is trying to win for the first time as a professional. The 2009 U.S. Girls Junior champion won an NCAA-record 20 titles at North Dakota State.

Pernilla Lindberg chasing first pro win at ANA Inspiration
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) Inbee Park and Pernilla Lindberg played until it was too dark to see Sunday night – and still couldn’t decide the ANA Inspiration.
They’ll return to Mission Hills on Monday morning for the fifth extra hole in the LPGA Tour’s first major of the season.
”Inbee’s one of the best female golfers of all time,” Lindberg said. ”So to even have a chance to go out and beat her in a playoff, I think I’m going to sleep great tonight, and I’m going to be ready to go in the morning.”

Jennifer Song dropped out with a par on the third playoff hole, and Park and Lindberg decided to take one more trip down the par-5 18th in fading light.
”They asked us quickly after the third playoff hole if we wanted to do one more, and both Inbee and I looked at each other quickly and said, `Yes,”’ Lindberg said.
With portable lights and the scoreboard helping illuminate the green, Park holed a 6-footer for par and Lindberg made a short putt to match. They f..
Masters 2018: This Drive, Chip & Putt contestant’s swing might be longer than John Daly’s
Before the big boys tee it up at Augusta National on Thursday, the Drive, Chip & Putt Championship got underway on Easter morning. The event, which began in 2013, continues to be one of the cooler parts of the week, showcasing just a small portion of the young talent there is in golf throughout the country.

Among those talented contestants is Conrad Chisman of Stanwood, Washington, competing in the 12-13 boys division on Sunday. Chisman earned a spot by getting through multiple qualifying sites, most notably regional qualifying at The Olympic Club in San Francisco, California. While there's a ton of great tidbits to learn about Conrad, like his favorite band being Guns and Roses or that he likes Dustin Johnson's '”swag”, by far the best part was his swing with the driver, which rivals Bubba Watson and John Daly.

Pernilla Lindberg takes 3-shot lead in ANA Inspiration
RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) Pernilla Lindberg glanced at Poppie’s Pond walking off the 18th green Saturday at the ANA Inspiration, knowing she put herself in perfect position to celebrate her first professional title with the traditional victory plunge.
”I’ve played a lot of golf in my life and I just feel like the pieces are kind of falling together,” Lindberg said. ”I’m just letting it happen.”
The 31-year-old Swede shot a 2-under 70 on another hot and mostly calm day at Mission Hills, pulling away when playing partner Sung Hyun Park collapsed on the back nine.

”I felt calm out there. I had fun,” Lindberg said. ”I went out there today and said, `How often do you get this chance? So I’m just going to enjoy it.’ And that’s what I did.”
