LPGA Safeway Classic

NORTH PLAINS, Ore. — Long after she earned her first trophy on the LPGA Tour, shook hands with countless tournament organizers and fielded questions from the media, rookie M.J. Hur returned to the 18th green at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club. There, the winner of the Safeway Classic signed autographs for about 50 fans. The South Korean made a 6-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole to beat Suzann Pettersen for her first tour victory.

Champions Tour Boeing Classic

SNOQUALMIE, Wash. — Second-round co-leader Loren Roberts birdied the final two holes to steal the Boeing Classic title and keep Mark O’Meara winless on the Champions Tour. O’Meara led by a shot until an untimely bogey on the short, par-4 16th when his second shot found a bunker short of the green. O’Meara rebounded with a birdie on the 17th, but could only manage a par on the par-5 18th when his tee shot found a fairway bunker. Roberts took advantage. He nearly matched O’Meara’s sterling tee shot at 17 and dribbled in a 5-foot birdie putt. Then he birdied the uphill final hole with a short pitch shot to 3 feet and dropped the putt for his third victory this season.
