Ko wins CDN Women's Open..again....Complete weekend wrap



Here are all the pro tour events with live leaderboard links ..



LPGA TOUR - CANADIAN WOMEN'S OPEN
COURSE: Royal Mayfair Golf Club (6,403 yards, par 70).
PURSE: $2 million. Winner's share: $300,000.

Round 4 Final

One year after becoming the youngest player ever to win an LPGA Tour event, Lydia Ko once again made history at the CN Canadian Women’s Open on Sunday. The 16-year-old amateur from New Zealand became the first amateur to win two LPGA events and the first amateur to successfully defend her title after shooting a final-round 64 to capture a five-shot victory at Royal Mayfair Golf Club in Edmonton.

Sitting one shot back of third-round leader Caroline Hedwall entering Sunday’s final round, Ko got off to a hot start and never looked back.  She birdied five of her first eight holes of the day and stormed out to a big lead.

Ko’s 64 was three shots better than the next best round of the day, which was shot by runner-up Karine Icher. The France native finished second, but thanks to Ko’s amateur status, Icher took home the $300,000 first-place prize check.


 





PGA TOUR - THE BARCLAYS (FEDEX CUP PLAYOFFS)
COURSE: Liberty National Golf Club (7,353 yards, par 71).
PURSE: $8 million. Winner's share: $1.44 million.

CANADIANS: Graham DeLaet T2  -10 67 73 69 65, David Hearn   73 68 79 75

Round 4 Final

Masters champion Adam Scott won The Barclays on Sunday after everyone around him did their best to lose it. Scott played bogey-free at Liberty National, making only two birdies on the back nine for a 5-under 66 that put him in the mix of a crowded leaderboard at the top. Turns out he was the only one who stayed there

Justin Rose had a 25-foot birdie putt for the lead, ran it 5 feet by the cup and three-putted for a bogey for a 68. Kevin Chappell had a two-shot lead through 10 holes, only to play the next seven holes in 7-over par to close with a 76.

Woods suffered a back spasm on the par-5 13th hole and hooked a fairway metal so far left that it landed in a swamp on the other side of the 15th fairway, leading to bogey. He dropped another shot on the 15th, and then gamely birdied the 16th and 17th holes to pull within one shot of Scott. Woods' putt from the back of the 18th green was one turn short of falling to force a playoff

Woods, Woodland and Rose shared second place with Graham DeLaet whose 65 matched the low score of the final round. DeLaet will move up to No. 9 in the Presidents Cup standings, and with one week before qualifying ends, is in good shape to make the International team.

WEB.COM TOUR - COX CLASSIC
COURSE: Champions Run (7,161 yards, par 71).
PURSE: $800,000. Winner's share: $144,000.

CANADIANS: Adam Hadwin MC 70 72 , Matt Hill WD, Richard Scott MC 78, Roger Sloan 70 67 75

Round 4

Bronson La’Cassie never thought about winning this week choosing to just focus on playing golf instead. It was that mindset that allowed him to overcome a bogey on No. 16 to fall two-strokes behind Matt Bettencourt with two holes to play at Champions Run.

La’Cassie responded by going birdie-birdie to tie Bettencourt at 21-under par at the end of regulation. The Australian would go on to win with a two-putt par on the third playoff hole at the Cox Classic presented by Lexus of Omaha for his first victory on the Web.com Tour.

La’Cassie’s triumph was worth $144,000. He finishes the Regular Season No. 6 on the money list to earn his PGA TOUR card for the 2013-14 season.

John Peterson (67) came up one-stroke shy of the playoff at 20-under 264

PGA TOUR CANADA - THE GREAT WATERWAY CLASSIC
COURSE: Upper Canada Golf Course (6,926 yards, par 72)
PURSE: $150,000


Round 4

With birdies on two of his final three holes, Santiago, Chile’s Hugo Leon won The Great Waterway Classic on Sunday, shooting a final round 67 to win by one over Scottsdale, Arizona’s Brandon Harkins.
 
Leon earned his second career PGA TOUR Canada win and moved to no. 4 on the season long Order of Merit, in position to earn one of The Five Web.com Tour cards available at season’s end. 
 
Harkins, looking for his first PGA TOUR Canada win, tied the course record with a 10-under par 62 and posted the clubhouse lead at 21-under par just over an hour before Leon reached the 72nd hole. But with 10-foot birdie putts on the 16th and 17th holes, the 28-year old Leon took control of the lead on his own, making a two-putt par from about 12 feet at the last to secure the win.

Round 4

Last season, John Randolph, of Brandon, Miss., picked up victories in the second and fourth week of the month en route to earning a share of the Rookie of the Year Award.

On Sunday, Randolph rallied from a five-shot deficit and ousted Rick Cochran III in a playoff to win the Eagle’s Landing Classic. All three of Randolph’s wins on the NGA TOUR have come in August.
