TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP

ATLANTA

Billy Horschel capped off the best three weeks of his career by winning the FedEx Cup and a $10 million bonus. Horschel pulled away from self-destructing Rory McIlroy early and held off Jim Furyk late. He closed with a 2-under 68 for a three-shot victory in the Tour Championship and the biggest Sunday payoff in golf. Horschel’s career earnings were $4.5 million coming into the year. He was No. 69 when the playoffs began a month ago — no one had ever won the FedEx Cup starting lower than No. 19. It all changed in three weeks. Horschel was runner-up in Boston, a winner in Denver and cashed in big in Atlanta.

WEB.COM TOUR FINALS

COLUMBUS

Justin Thomas won the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship on Sunday for his first Web.com Tour title, beating Richard Sterne with a birdie on the first hole of a playoff after Sterne blew a late three-stroke lead. Thomas hit a wedge from 79 yards to 2 feet to set up his winning birdie on the par-4 18th. Sterne missed a birdie putt after leaving his approach 20 feet short and right. Playing the four-event Web.com Tour Finals for PGA Tour priority after wrapping up a tour card with a top-25 finish on the Web.com regular-season money list, Thomas earned $180,000 to jump from fifth to third with $470,470 with one event left. The 21-year-old former Alabama player closed with a 1-under 70 to match Sterne at 6-under 278 on Ohio State’s Scarlet Course.

KLM OPEN

ZANDVOORT, NETHERLANDS

Paul Casey shot a four-under 66 Sunday to win the KLM Open at 14 under, a single shot ahead of fellow Englishman Simon Dyson. Andy Sullivan completed an all-English top three, thanks in part to a hole-in-one on the 15th.
