HAMILTON, Ontario -- Bob Tway two-putted for bogey on the third hole of a playoff with Brad Faxon in the Canadian Open on Sunday to become the eighth player age 40 and over to win a PGA Tour event this year.
Tway, 44, earned $756,000 for his eighth tour title and first since the 1995 MCI Classic.
After they matched pars on the first two extra holes, Tway won on No. 18, about an hour after he closed with a 25-foot par putt to tie Faxon, 42, at 8-under 272. Tway shot a 4-under 66 and Faxon had a 67 on the hilly Hamilton Golf and Country Club course.
Tom Pernice Jr. closed with a bogey for a 68 to finish a stroke out of the playoff, and Japan's Hidemichi Tanaka, the third-round leader at 7 under, shot a 71 to drop into a tie for fourth with South Korea's K.J. Choi (66) at 6 under.
Fred Funk, the co-leader with Tanaka at 8 under after a hole-in-one on No. 6, shot a 70 to finish three strokes back along with Vijay Singh (68).
LPGA Tour
TULSA, Okla. -- Karrie Webb shot a 4-under 66 to win the John Q. Hammons Hotels Classic by nine strokes, her first LPGA title in more than a year and the 29th of her career.
Webb made five birdies in the final round at the Tulsa Country Club as she finished at 10-under 200 for the 54 holes.
The Australian won $150,000 of the third-year tournament's $1 million purse.
Dorothy Delasin matched Webb's 66 to finish tied for second at 209 along with Candie Kung, Tammie Green and Jamie Hullett.
Defending champion Annika Sorenstam, playing for the first time in three weeks, shot a 68 and finished tied for 10th at 211.
Champions Tour
MAINEVILLE, Ohio -- Gil Morgan shot a final-round 68 and beat longtime friend Doug Tewell by two strokes to win the Kroger Classic.
Morgan finished three rounds in the Champions Tour event at 16-under 200. Tewell also finished with a 68.
Morgan's opening 65 was the best round of the tournament until Jim Thorpe's final-round 64 over the 7,064-yard TPC at River's Bend.
Walker Cup
GANTON, England -- Britain-Ireland rallied to win the Walker Cup for an unprecedented third straight time, defeating the United States 12 1/2-11 1/2 in the closest match since 1989.
Britain-Ireland won five of the eight singles after trailing 7-5 following Saturday's play and 9-7 after Sunday's foursomes.
The victory in the amateur event follows those at Nairn, Scotland, in 1999 and Ocean Forest, Ga., two years ago. Britain-Ireland has won four out of the last five tournaments.
This also was the third time in a row the Americans had lost after leading at the halfway stage. Still, the Americans hold a 31-7 lead with one match tied.
Gary Wolstenholme became the first Britain-Ireland player to win four Walker Cups. He started the Britain-Ireland comeback at Ganton Golf Club with a 3 and 2 win over 18-year-old Casey Wittenberg. Oliver Wilson holed a 7-foot putt at No. 18 to beat Bill Haas 1 up, tying the match at 9-all.
Michael Skelton, Britain-Ireland's youngest player at 19, moved the host team ahead with a 3 and 2 win over Adam Rubinson.
American Matt Hendrix needed just 14 holes to score a 5 and 4 victory over Stuart Wilson and tie the match at 10-all.
Brock McKenzie regained the lead for the Americans with a 3 and 1 victory over against Irishman Colm Moriarty, but David Inglis' 4 and 3 win over Ryan Moore made it 11-all.
Stuart Manley beat Trip Kuehne, the only Walker Cup veteran on the U.S. team, 3 and 2 to guarantee the host team would retain the trophy, and Nigel Edwards remained unbeaten in three matches, halving with Lee Williams to clinch victory.
