Johnnie Walker Championship
GLENEAGLES, Scotland — France’s Gregory Havret shot a 3-under 70 for a one-stroke victory in the Johnnie Walker Championship, and England’s Oliver Wilson finished 10th to clinch Europe’s 10th and final automatic Ryder Cup spot.
After the tournament, Ryder Cup captain Nick Faldo used his two picks on Englishmen Ian Poulter and Paul Casey, a decision that left Darren Clarke off the European team for the first time since 1995.
Havret sank a 10-foot par putt to win the title at 14-under 278. Graeme Storm (68) was second, and Peter Hanson (69) and David Howell (71) tied for third at 11 under.
Wilson’s 69 meant Nick Dougherty needed to win the tournament to have a chance of making the European team for the Sept. 19-21 matches against the United States at Valhalla. Dougherty (70) finished seventh.
First Tee Open
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Jeff Sluman won the First Tee Open for his second Champions Tour victory, closing with a 5-under 67 at Pebble Beach for a five-stroke victory over Fuzzy Zoeller and Craig Stadler.
Sluman, a six-time PGA Tour winner who won the Bank of America Championship in June for his first Champions Tour title, had a 14-under 202 total. He opened with a 69 at Del Monte and shot a 66 on Saturday at Pebble Beach.
Zoeller shot a 69 for his best Champions Tour finish since 2004. Stadler, the inaugural tournament winner in 2004, had a 71.
