GOLF
PGA: Bryson DeChambeau holed an eagle putt from just inside 60 feet on the 16th hole that carried him to a 5-under 66 and a one-shot win over Patrick Cantlay in the Shriners Hospital for Children Open in Las Vegas.
DeChambeau won for the fourth time in his last 12 starts on the PGA Tour and moved to No. 5 in the world ranking.
He survived a wild back nine at the TPC Summerlin in which four players had a share of the lead at some point.
EUROPEAN TOUR: Justin Rose is No. 1 in the world again after he rallied from a three-shot deficit with a 3-under 68 and then defeated Li Haotong of China on the first playoff hole with a par to win the Turkish Airlines Open at Antalya, Turkey, for the second straight year.
The 38-year-old from England needed help from Li, who closed with a 71 and lost the playoff with a three-putt bogey from just inside 10 feet.
LPGA: Local favorite Nasa Hataoka shot a 5-under 67 to win the Japan Classic at Shiga by two strokes for her second LPGA title of the season.
