Round 4 wrap

(pgatour.com)   Brandt Snedeker was the best all week at Pebble Beach, finishing at 19-under 267 to break by one shot the tournament record. Mickelson (2007) and Mark O'Meara (1997) each had a 20-under 268 when Poppy Hills was still in the rotation

A tap-in par on the 18th gave him a two-shot win over Chris Kirk, who stayed in the hunt all day without ever putting too much pressure on Snedeker

In the past few months he won that big win at the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola to claim the $10 million prize as the FedExCup champion. He played in his first Ryder Cupand in his past nine tournaments, he has six finishes in the top three, including back-to-back weeks as the runner-up to Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods.

Sterne shot a bogey-free 64 to finish with a tournament record total of 27 under at the Royal Johannesburg & Kensington golf course and win by the largest margin in tournament history.

Fellow overnight leader Trevor Fisher Jr. faltered on the final day, allowing Sterne to finish well clear of Charl Schwartzel (66) in second. Fisher eagled the first but sank to a 1-over 73 that dropped him to joint sixth, despite sitting five shots clear of the field with Sterne at the start of the final round

Round 3 wrap

pgatour.com...Rocco Mediate’s final-round 71 was good enough for a win in his debut on the Champions Tour.

Mediate started on Sunday with a three-stroke lead but found himself tied with Tom Pernice, Jr. after 14 holes with Bernhard Langer only one stroke back. The tournament swung in Mediate’s favor at the par-4 17^th when Pernice could not get up and down from a greenside bunker, missing an eight-foot par putt. Langer meanwhile, three-putted from 35 feet for bogey.

Now with a one-stroke lead, Mediate avoided tree trouble in the 18^th fairway and after his second shot ran just through the back of the green on the par-5, he pitched to within two-feet of the hole and tapped in for victory.

Round 3 wrap

(let.com)   Amid a drama-filled final half hour, 15-year-old Lydia Ko has created history to win the ISPS Handa NZ Women’s Open in Christchurch.

Ko made a clutch three foot putt on the final hole to become the first Kiwi to win the New Zealand Women’s Open and the youngest player to ever win a Ladies European Tour event.

Ko is aged 15 years, eight months and 17 days.

As the nerves left, tears of joy streamed down Ko’s face as she came to terms with her third professional win from only 12 events.

“I didn’t cry at the Canadian Open so I don’t know why I cried here,” Ko explained afterwards with her trademark giggle.

“I guess it meant more. It is our national open so to win means a lot. I am not the person who shows expression of feeling but I guess the tears showed it.”.
