Graeme McDowell wins in Paris...Blixt wins the Greenbrier


PGA TOUR - GREENBRIER CLASSIC
COURSE: The Greenbrier Resort, The Old White TPC (7,287 yards, par 70).
PURSE: $6.3 million. Winner’s share: $1,134,000.

CANADIANS: Stephen Ames MC 74 72, Graham DeLaet -5 69 70 66 70, Brad Fritsch -3 68 71 66 72, David Hearn MC 76 70, Mike Weir MC 72 70, Ryan Zylstra MC 74 76

Round 4
pgatour.com   Jonas Blixt shot a 3-under 67 Sunday to win the rain-delayed Greenbrier Classic by two strokes
.
The Swede emerged from a five-player chase over the final five holes to pick up the 500 FedExCup points awarded to the champion. Among the perks for his victory are trips to this month's British Open and next year's Masters.

Blixt overcame a four-shot deficit at the start of the final round and finished at 13-under 267. Third-round leader Johnson Wagner (73), Australians Steven Bowditch (68) and Matt Jones (68), and Jimmy Walker (71) tied for second at 11 under.

EUROPEAN TOUR - FRENCH OPEN
COURSE: Le Golf National, Albatross Course (7,331 yards, par 71).
PURSE: $3.91 million. Winner’s share: $651,200.


Round 4

Graeme McDowell continued his remarkable winning streak by holding off playing partner Richard Sterne to secure a third title of the year at the Alstom Open de France.

McDowell carded a closing 67 at Le Golf National to finish nine under par, four clear of South Africa's Sterne, who had been only one behind until bogeys at the 16th and 17th.

Sterne eventually did well to par the 18th for a final round of 71 to make sure of outright second, with 2007 winner Graeme Storm and Spain's Eduardo de la Riva a shot behind.

McDowell missed the cut in last week's Irish Open but reaped the rewards of staying on at Carton House over the weekend to work on his game, the first prize of €500,000 taking him less than €30,000 behind Justin Rose at the top of The Race to Dubai.

It should also lift the former US Open Champion from ninth to sixth when the Official World Golf Rankings is updated on Monday, with The Open Championship at Muirfield just around the corner

PURSE: 280,000 Euros
CANADIANS: Phil Jonas T3 -4 66,

Round 3

Paul Wesselingh picked up his second win of the season after a play-off victory over Kevin Spurgeon at the Bad Ragaz PGA Seniors Open
.
A birdie at the third extra hole was enough for Wesselingh to take the title, having shot a six under par round of 64 on Sunday to haul himself into contention and post nine under.

He had started the final day in a tie for 11th and five shots behind the 36 hole lead held by Santiago Luna and Gary Wolstenholme, but seven birdies, an eagle and three bogeys put Wesselingh in the box seat.

However, Spurgeon carded three birdies in his final four holes to draw level, and after the pair halved the first two extra holes in par, it was Wesselingh’s birdie the third time round on the 18th that proved enough to take the title.

EUROPEAN CHALLENGE TOUR
Bad Grieisbach Callenge Tour
Germany

Round 4 wrap

Andrea Pavan has won his third Challenge Tour title after a one stroke victory at the Bad Griesbach Challenge Tour by Hartl Resort
.
The 24 year old Italian finished on 19 under par after a 68 on Sunday to edge out compatriot Marco Crespi, who three putted the last hole for a bogey, having charged into a share of the lead with just two holes to go.

However, when Pavan needed it most, he made a clutch birdie two at the 17th and was able to make a bogey down the last and still take the title.

Pavan has finished in the top five in his last two starts on the Challenge Tour, and this victory comes at the end of a run of tournaments that has seen the Italian play in every event so far this season
