Langer wins Senior PGA, Rose wins at Congressional....Final scoreboards


Champions Tour
Senior Players Championship
Fox Chapel GC
Pittsburg
Bernhard Langer made a short birdie putt on the second hole of a playoff with Jeff Sluman to win the Senior Players Championship
Langer appeared to be in trouble when his second shot on the par-5 18th ended up in the rough short of the green. He hit a brilliant pitch to 5 feet and made the putt after
Sluman’s birdie attempt rolled just wide.
The victory was the 56-year-old Langer’s third of the year and his third major title on the Champions Tour. The two-time Masters champion shot an even-par 70 to finish at 15-under 265 at Fox Chapel. Sluman had a bogey-free 65 to match Langer, but narrowly missed a birdie putt on the first playoff hole that would have won it.
Canada’s Jim Rutledge (72-70-74) and Rod Spittle (69-73-71) finished at 3-over 283 and tied for 54th

PGA Tour
Quicken Loans National
Congressional GC
Congressional has hosted the U.S. Open three times, most recently on a soggy course in 2011 that produced a record score by Rory McIlroy, and one PGA Championship. The course played as tough as those majors, certainly tougher than 2011.
Justin Rose (71) and Shawn Stefani (71) finished at 4-under 280.12 shots higher than when McIlroy won. Only six players broke par in the final round, none better than a 68. Seven players had at least a share of the lead at one point Sunday, and most of them went the other direction


In the playoff Stefani pulled his tee shot in the trees and got relief from grandstands blocking his view of the green. He chose a 6-iron to punch it around the trees and put it in the water, leaving Rose a winner again, moving up to No. 7 in the world, and he has proven to win on the best courses. His six PGA Tour wins have been at Aronimink, Cog Hill, Muirfield Village, Merion, Doral and now Congressional

LPGA Tour
NW Arkansas Championship
Pinnacle Club
Stacy Lewis shot a 6-under 65 and rallying for a much-sought after official win in the NW Arkansas Championship.
Lewis earned an unofficial rain-shortened win at the tournament as an amateur in 2007, but she had struggled to match that effort since as her popularity – and ranking – soared.
She earned $300,000 for her third LPGA Tour victory of the year, but more importantly the 11-time winner earned a welcomed sigh of relief in front of a college-like atmosphere full of fans cheering for the former four-time All-American at Arkansas.
Lewis finished at 12-under 201,one shot ahead of 17-year-old Lydia Ko, Cristie Kerr and Angela Stanford.
Opening-round leader Alena Sharp of Hamilton, Ont. finished tied for 31st at 4-under 209

EUROPEAN Tour
BMW International Open
Fabrizio Zanotti won a four-way playoff to take the BMW International Open title Sunday and become the first player from Paraguay to win on the European Tour.
“This is huge. I think everybody in Paraguay is going to be so happy,” Zanotti said after winning his first playoff. “Everybody in Paraguay was awaiting this moment, like me.”
Zanotti won when No. 2-ranked Henrik Stenson conceded after failing to make a bunker shot on the fifth playoff hole. Gregory Havret of France and Rafa Cabrera-Bello of Spain went out on the second and fourth holes, respectively.

PGA Championship of Canada
Wyndance GC
Uxbridge


Dave Levesque had an exacting and unwavering game plan with one definitive goal in mind all week..to win, and he has !! On a picture perfect Friday afternoon in Uxbridge, Ont., he reached that goal, capturing the 2014 PGA Championship of Canada.


In the championship’s final match, Levesque the No. 3 seed squared off against the No. 1-seeded Billy Walsh in a tight match but while birdies on Nos. 11 and 12 brought the match back to square, it was three more birdies on Nos. 14, 16 and 18 clinched the 2-up victory for the 40-year-old.
