| Posted: 20 Jun 2010 09:06 PM PDT PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP)—In a U.S. Open filled with golf's biggest stars, it was Graeme McDowell who played like one. McDowell seized control after a shocking collapse by Dustin Johnson, then failed to get flustered with Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els lined up behind him. The 30-year-old from Northern Ireland closed with a 3-over 74 to become the first European in 40 years to capture the U.S. Open, getting an embrace on the 18th green from his father. Johnson took a triple bogey on the second hole to lose all of his three-shot lead, and a double bogey on the next hole ended his hopes. McDowell made only one birdie—an 8-foot birdie putt on the fifth hole— and his final round was the highest score by a U.S. Open champion since Andy North in 1985. No matter. It added up to a one-shot victory over another surprise contender, Gregory Havret of France, who shot 72. Woods, poised to end six months of bad publicity over a shattered personal life, bogeyed five of his first 10 holes and took himself out of contention with a 75. Els (73) and Mickelson (73) hung around a little longer. LPGA Tour GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP)—Japan's Ai Miyazato shot a 7-under 64 to win the $1.5 million ShopRite LPGA Classic. The 25-year-old Miyazato was guaranteed to take over the No. 1 spot in Monday's rankings after her fourth victory of the season. Second-round leader M.J. Hur (68) finished second, two shots behind Miyazato. Fellow South Korean Inbee Park (67), the 2008 U.S. Women's Open champion, was another two shots back. Norway's Suzann Pettersen (66), South Korea's Hee-Won Han (68) and Australia's Katherine Hull (69) shared fourth place at 11 under, one shot ahead of Paula Creamer (71), who had a spectacular return in her first tournament since surgery on her left thumb in March. Miyazato finished with seven birdies in a bogey-free round that gave her a 54-hole total of 16-under 197. The win was her fifth on the LPGA Tour, but her first in the United States. Nationwide Tour FORT SMITH, Ark. (AP)—Chris Kirk shot a 6-under 64 in the final round to win the Fort Smith Classic. Kirk finished with a 16-under 264 at the 6,783-yard Hardscrabble Country Club course. He saved par on each of his final three holes to win his first tournament as a professional and take over the top spot on the Nationwide's money list. He also secured his spot on the PGA Tour next year. Kirk had to hold off a late rally by Kyle Thompson (63). Thompson finished the tournament at 15 under and tied for the final round's best score. John Daly (69) finished tied for 22nd at 8 under in his first Nationwide event since 1991. European Tour SAINT-OMER, France (AP)—Martin Wiegele of Austria captured his first European Tour title, shooting a 3-under 68 to win the Saint-Omer Open. Wiegele finished two shots ahead of a group of five players after making four birdies with only one bogey to finish at 7-under 277. Pelle Edberg of Sweden was tied for second place with Raphael Jacquelin of France and English players Matt Haines, Robert Dinwiddie and Jamie Elson. Overnight leader Elson hit one more birdie than Wiegele on Sunday but hurt his chances with seven bogeys in a 73.

| Posted: 21 Jun 2010 01:04 AM PDT The Irish Times - Monday, June 21, 2010 Other golf news in brief Wiegele second Austrian to win EUROPEAN TOUR: Martin Wiegele became only the second Austrian to win a European Tour event with a two-shot victory at the Saint-Omer Open yesterday. The Austrian, a winner on home soil two weeks ago on the Challenge Tour, shot a three-under-par 68 to finish with a seven-under total of 277. That was two better than a group of five players tied for second: Sweden's Pelle Edberg, France's Raphaël Jacquelin and the English trio of Matt Haines, Robert Dinwiddie and Jamie Elson all finishing five under. Wiegele birdied his first two holes at Aa Saint Omer, and another gain at the ninth took him to the turn in 33 without dropping a shot. "This victory is just incredible – it's what I've always dreamt of since I started playing golf as a little boy," said Wiegele. Not only does it secure a €100,000 winner's cheque, but also an exemption on The full Tour until the end of 2011. LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR: South African Lee-Anne Pace shot a final-round 68 to claim her maiden victory on the Ladies European Tour at the Swiss Open yesterday. Pace started two shots behind England's Georgina Simpson but ended up a shot ahead of Scotland's Vikki Laing with Simpson a further stroke back in third. The 29-year-old from Mossel Bay won with a total of 12-under-par 204 after rounds of 69, 67 and 68. Rebecca Coakley shot a final 73 to finish on two-under-par 214. SENIOR TOUR: South African John Bland claimed his third European Senior Tour title with a one-shot victory in Wales Seniors Open at Royal Porthcawl. The 64-year-old carded a one-under-par 71 to see off Paraguayan Angel Franco in dramatic fashion. The pair were neck and neck at eight under after 16 holes, but Franco, three groups ahead of Bland, bogeyed the 18th and then the South African birdied the par five 17th to give himself some breathing space coming up the last. It proved crucial, as Bland found a bunker from the 18th tee and ended up with a bogey. Bland's compatriot Chris Williams took a share of second after a 72, but overnight leader Bob Cameron capitulated on the back nine, carding four straight bogeys and two double bogeys for a 78. Eamonn Darcy was best of the Irish but his challenge for the title disappeared in a final-round 79.
