The classic baseball poem "No joy in Mudville" was never more poignant than in Atlanta and LA on Saturday as the mighty 111 win Dodgers were eliminated 3-1 in San Diego by the Padres while in Philadelphia the Phillies trounced the heavily favoured 101 win Braves 8-3 to advance to the National League Championship.
Meanwhile even sweeter for Jays fans, Houston won 3 straight to end the Mariners run in the playoffs and in Cleveland the Tribe walked off the Yankees with 3 runs in a wild 9th inning and have a 2-1 lead in what may be another win for the underdogs today.
Over in Japan, that theme continued as Keegan Bradley who hasn't won in 4 years, Ricky Fowler who hasn't won in three and Andrew Putnam who has never won made up the final threesome.

In the end it was Keegan Bradley who birdied the 17th to take a 2 shot lead up the 72nd, who outlasted Fowler and Putnam to win by a shot 66 65 66 68 -15 worth $1.98m.

Meanwhile Mac Hughes 70 68 68 67 -7 T23 and Corey Connors 73 67 67 67 -6 T25 had good weekends to come home with top 25 finishes.
Adam Svensson 74 68 68 70 E T59th.
Not in the underdog category Brooke Henderson finished T2 Ladies European Tour sanctioned Aramco Team Series-New York. (final results here)
She posted 2 consecutive 68's -8 total which was 3 shots behind winner Lexi Thompson (69)
I'm happy with the way I finished, overall happpy with my week here in New York. I feel like my game is in a good spot heading into the rest of the LPGA season in the next few weeks and hopefully I can finish strong because its been a great year with 2 wins and I just feel like if I can keep the game rolling."
