For all the big moments in Graeme McDowell's career, his resume was short on PGA TOUR victories.
McDowell relished what he called his first authentic TOUR win, defeating fellow U.S. Open champ Webb Simpson in a playoff at the RBC Heritage on Sunday.
McDowell's been at the center of some of golf's biggest moments, from his rousing triumph at Pebble Beach in 2010 to capturing the winning point for Europe in that year's Ryder Cup matches. He has six European tour victories, too, but he hadn't triumphed in the weekly grind of the world's top tour.
"This game kicks you more often than it gives you a pat on the back," McDowell said. "It's hard to win."
Not on this day for McDowell, who pushed forward on wind-blown Harbour Town Golf Links when his rivals were moving backward, unnerved by the 20 to 30 mph winds that rattled the course
He rallied from four strokes down when the day began to take a one-shot lead into the 72nd hole. Then after he made his only bogey of the round to fall into tie with Simpson, he two-putted from about 15 feet to make a par on the extra hole that Simpson couldn't match

Rolex Rankings No. 6 Suzann Pettersen managed to hold off a red-hot Lizette Salas in Sunday’s final round of the LPGA LOTTE Championship Presented by J Golf, making par on the first hole of a playoff to capture her 11th career LPGA victory. Pettersen shot a 5-under 67 on the final day of play but needed every single birdie, as Salas tied the lowest score to par this season on the LPGA Tour with a 10-under 62 to finish tied with Pettersen at 19-under-par.
Pettersen began the day with a one-shot lead over the field but it was Salas, who started the day five shots back, who made the big run to catch up to the third-round leader. On a day when the winds were relatively calm at Ko Olina Golf Club in Hawaii, players took advantage of the great scoring conditions. None more so than Salas who shot 33-29 and nearly sank another birdie putt on 18 that would have tied her with Pettersen, who had one hole remaining.
Still Salas would get another shot at a victory when Pettersen, who missed the fairway on 18, made bogey on her final hole to drop her back into a tie at 19-under-par. For Salas, it marked her first career playoff on the LPGA Tour while Pettersen was playing in her seventh, having gone 4-2 in her previous six playoff experiences.

Round 3
pgatour.com Bernhard Langer, a three-time Champions Tour player of the year, said he's never had a better start to a season.

He had six birdies for his fifth top-three finish in six events. Langer also increased his lead in the Charles Schwab Cup standings. He leads second-place David Frost by 309 points.
"I've had very good starts before but this is exceptional so far," Langer said. "I don't think I've ever had anything like this."

EUROPEAN TOUR - SPANISH OPEN
COURSE: Parador de El Saler (7,052 yards, par 72).
PURSE: $1.96 million. Winner's share: $326,765.
Round 4
Raphaël Jacquelin drew on all of his experience to edge a prolonged, record-equaling play-off in the Open de España and claim his first victory on The European Tour for just over two years.
The final round at Parador de El Saler could not separate those in contention as Chile’s Felipe Aguilar, Germany’s Maximilian Kieffer and Jacquelin required extra holes.
Each produced successive pars on the 18th to begin the three way contest as they continued to cancel each other out, only for Kieffer and Jacquelin to deliver birdies at the third time of asking.
.
Anyone expecting a quick finish thereafter was mistaken as the two battled it out in the joint-longest European Tour play-off since its formation in 1972, matching an effort in the 1989 Dutch Open.
They exchanged pars on a further five holes, efforts that featured generally solid play interspersed with some outstanding up and downs.
However, Jacquelin made the decisive move when playing the 18th for the tenth time today – including on his original round – by hitting a wedge to five feet and holing the subsequent putt; the triumph was his first since winning the 2011 Sicilian Open

Round 4
Angel Cabrera didn't get quite as much attention in this week's playoff as he did at the Masters last week, but this time he won.
Cabrera won PGA Tour Latinoamerica’s 82° Abierto OSDE del Centro. This week’s event was held at the course where Cabrera learned the game, Cordoba (Argentina) Golf Club.
Cabrera started the final round in 21st place after shooting a third-round 76, but closed with a 64, including an eagle at the par-4 18th, to tie Rafael Gomez at even-par 284. Cabrera won with a birdie on the first extra hole. His final-round 64 was the low round of the day by three shots.
