Golf Roundup: Sunday’s other events


Sybase Classic

CLIFTON, N.J. — A day after leaving the retiring Annika Sorenstam in her wake, Lorena Ochoa overcame a balky putter to shoot a 1-under 71 for a one-stroke victory over five players. The victory was the 22nd for Ochoa since April 2006, and the $300,000 prize pushed her career earnings past the $12 million mark, making her the fastest player on the LPGA Tour to reach that plateau. Ochoa grabbed an early four-shot lead with a birdie on No. 2, and finished at 10-under 206 on the Upper Montclair Country Club course. Morgan Pressel (66), Catriona Matthew (67), Brittany Lang (68), Na Yeon Choi (69) and Sophie Gustafson (70) tied for second. Sorenstam (71) tied for 11th at 5 under.

Regions Charity Classic

HOOVER, Ala. — Andy Bean managed to save par on No. 18 after hooking his drive left and bogeying the previous hole, holding on for a 2-under 70 and a one-stroke victory over Loren Roberts in the Champions Tour event. It was only the second win in 5 1/2 years on the 50-and-over tour for Bean and his first since the Greater Hickory Classic on Oct. 1, 2006. That one capped a 20-year drought since his 11th PGA Tour victory.

BMW Charity Pro-Am

GREER, S.C. — David Mathis won his first Nationwide Tour title, closing with a 3-under 68 for a three-stroke victory over Roger Tambellini, while Wayne Gretzky teamed with Chris Nallen to win the Pro-Am title. Mathis finished at 20-under 266 and earned $121,500 and a BMW X5.

ADARE, Ireland — Richard Finch won his second PGA European Open victory of the season, closing with a 2-under 70 for a two-stroke decision over Felipe Aguilar.
