Australia has only produced three women who have won a major championship, the most prolific being Karrie Webb who supports junior girls and brings 2 full scholarship winners to the USA every year. Hannah Green was one of them 4 years ago when she was 18, and now in her second full year on the LPGA, she is the third, firing a final round 72 on Hazeltine to hold off defending champion Sung Hyun Park by a shot to win the KPMG Women's PGA Championship.

Canadians: Brooke Henderson T30 76 73 71 70, Alena Sharp T53 77 70 75 72.

Back in 2008 I was at my usual perch in the press room at Glen Abbey for the Canadian Open broadcasting/ producing Fairways. There were a lot of thunderstorms that year as I remember, with lots of delays, drenching rain, and an unknown little American rookie called Chez Reavie emerged from no where as the winner, and we all finally went home late on a Sunday night after an exhausting week.

After many injuries and a lot of soul searching, Chez Reavie now 37, is a PGA Tour winner again after 11 years and 250 events winning the Travelers Championship on Sunday, closing with a -1 69 for a four-stroke victory over Keegan Bradley and Zack Sucher at -17, 263.

"It means everything,” he said. “I went through some injuries, had some long years there in the middle. But it was great, because it gave good perseverance and good perspective of what life is and what golf is.”

Canadians: Mac Hughes T51 64 74 69 71 -2, Nick Taylor 69 69 72 MDF.



European Tour BMW International Championship final leaderboard http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/season=2019/tournamentid=2019054/leaderboard/index.html#/leaderboard

Italy's Andrea Pavan beat Matthew Fitzpatrick in a play-off to win his second European Tour title at the BMW International Open near Munich.

 

On the second playoff hole, Pavan played a poor second but his third was sublime to set up a birdie from two feet and, when Fitzpatrick failed to get up and down from the sand, Pavan was the champion.

Austrian Matthias Schwab had led by two with seven holes to play but he signed for a 71 to finish in a T3 at -13 under alongside defending champion Matt Wallace, overnight leader Jordan Smith, Spanish duo Rafa Cabrera Bello and Alvaro Quiros, South African Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Italian Edoardo Molinari.
