GOLF ROUNDUP \ Sunday’s other events


Wegmans LPGA

PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Lorena Ochoa vanquished the playoff demons. Now the world’s No. 1 player is aiming for her first major title. Ochoa erased a three-shot deficit over the last two regulation holes and then beat South Korean rookie In-Kyung Kim in a playoff to capture the Wegmans LPGA for the second time in three years. The 25-year-old Ochoa closed with a 1-over-par 73 for an 8-under 280 total on the Locust Hill course and won with a par on the second playoff hole. She got an eagle on the par-5 17th and got even on the last hole when Kim missed a 4-foot putt for par. It was her first playoff victory in five attempts, and the first playoff finish at this tournament in suburban Rochester since Patty Sheehan defeated Ayako Okamoto in 1989.

Champions Tour

CONCORD, Mass. — Jay Haas set his sights on second place and instead came away with his second consecutive victory on the Champions Tour. Whittling away a three-stroke deficit when Tom Purtzer suffered through an eerily familiar Sunday collapse, Haas shot a 6 under-par 66 to win by three strokes and earn his fourth victory of the year. The only multiple winner on the over-50 tour, Haas finished at 13-under to pick up a check for $247,500.

BMW International

MUNICH, Germany — Niclas Fasth won by two strokes with a 2-under 70 that held off Bernhard Langer. Fasth finished at 13-under 275 to overtake Langer, who set the early clubhouse lead at 11-under. Langer, who turns 50 in August, shot a 67 to tie for second with third-round co-leader Jose-Filipe Lima of Portugal, who shot a 72.
