Round 4 notes
pgatour.com Ken Duke needed 187 starts on the PGA TOUR to get his first win, securing it at a tournament that is building a reputation for such breakthroughs.
The 44-year-old made a 2-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole Sunday to beat Chris Stroud at the Travelers Championship.
Stroud, who also was looking for his first title, had chipped in from 51 feet on the 18th hole, to get to 12 under par and force the playoff.
But Duke made the better approach shot on the second extra hole, bouncing his ball in front of the flag and rolling it close.
Graham DeLaet finished a stroke back in third place with a 269. Watson finished fourth, two shots behind, after making a 6 on the par-3 16th hole

Inbee Park captured her fifth victory of the 2013 by defeating best friend So Yeon Ryu in a one-hole, sudden-death playoff at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship. Park overcame a four-stroke deficit on Sunday and held the outright lead for one hole before second round co-leader So Yeon Ryu sank a 10-foot biride putt on the final hole to force a playoff.
The victory at Pinnacle Country Club is Park’s second consecutive win following a major championship triumph at the Wegmans LPGA Championship two weeks ago. She enters next week’s U.S. Women’s Open having won the first two majors of the season and looks to enter the history books as only the second player in Tour history to win the first three majors of the season

Round 3 notes
pgatour.com .Craig Stadler made a 12 ' par putt to win on the Champions Tour for the first time in eight years and collect the $270,000 first prize, finishing with a 1-under 71 to total 13-under 203. But it was more of an adventure on the back nine than the 60-year-old Sadler expected after a building a five-stroke lead through the first eight holes of the final round
Stadler settled down after bogeys on the 14th and 15th, making par on the next three holes even though he wasn't always in the fairway. Following a perfect drive on 18, he pushed his approach into the right greenside bunker. After putting his third shot 12 feet past the hole, he faced a putt that brought back a positive memory, and took him back to the winner's circle
Fred Couples' final-round 66 was the best of the day and put him at 12 under, but he bogeyed the final hole. Mark O'Meara, Bernhard Langer, David Frost and Jeff Sluman were among seven players tied for third at 205.

Scottish Hydro Challenge
MacDonald Spey Valley GC
Aviemore, Scotland
Round 4 notes Brooks Koepka showed the grit, determination and endless talent of a future world-beater as the American stormed to a three-shot victory at the Scottish Hydro Challenge hosted by Macdonald Hotels and Resorts to gain automatic promotion to The European Tour.
The hype surrounding the Floridian on the European Challenge Tour this year has been likened to that of Martin Kaymer in 2006, with some experienced touring professionals stating that Koepka is the best they have ever seen.
The 23 year old has lived up to that high praise during an incredible 11 month period on the Challenge Tour, which culminated in a gloriously resolute performance at Macdonald Spey Valley Golf Club as he defied extremely trying weather conditions and long rain delays to lift the title.
His final and most important of four Challenge Tour titles came thanks to a three under par 68 and because it is his third victory in 2013, the West Palm Beach native is promoted straight to The European Tour – following in the footsteps of the likes of Edoardo Molinari and Kristoffer Broberg.
