ON THE FAIRWAYS Sunday’s other golf events


Commerce Bank Championship

EAST MEADOW, N.Y. — Loren Roberts won for the first time this year, shooting a 3-under 68 to cap a wire-to-wire, one-stroke victory over Nick Price and Lonnie Nielsen in the Commerce Bank Championship.

Roberts had three second-place finishes on the Champions Tour this year, including last week to Jeff Sluman, but his 12-under 201 total gave him his eighth title on the over-50 circuit, matching his total from his PGA Tour career.

Price matched the tournament’s low round with a 65. Nielsen, the winner last year over Roberts, finished with a 66 on the Red Course at Eisenhower Park.

French Open

SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France — Spanish rookie Pablo Larrazabal won the French Open for his first PGA European Tour victory Sunday, closing with a 4-under 67 for a four-stroke victory over Scoland’s Colin Montgomerie.

Larrazabal, who had to play two qualifying rounds, finished at 15-under 269 on Le Golf National’s Albatross Course. Montgomerie shot a 68.
