RESULTS OF SUNDAY’S OTHER PROFESSIONAL GOLF EVENTS


MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CLASSIC

DULUTH, GA.

Woody Austin tied the tournament record with an 8-under 64 and beat Wes Short Jr. with a par on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff in the PGA Tour Champions’ Mitsubishi Electric Classic. The 52-year-old Austin has two victories in the last three events on the 50-and-over tour, also winning in Tucson, Arizona, last month. He won the 2013 Sanderson Farms Championship at age 49 for the last of his four PGA Tour titles. Short bogeyed the second playoff after pulling his tee shot left into tall grass for the second time. Short finished with a 68. He could have avoided the playoff at TPC Sugarloaf, but missed a 6-foot birdie putt on No. 18, leaving him tied with Austin at 11 under. Paul Goydos had a 67 to finish third at 10 under. Joey Sindelar (67), Tom Lehman (67), Miguel Angel Jimenez (68) and Colin Montgomerie (69) were another stroke back.

SPANISH OPEN

SOTOGRANDE, SPAIN

England’s Andrew Johnston won the Spanish Open at Valderrama for his first European Tour title, closing with a 1-under 70 for a one-stroke victory. Johnston finished at 1-over 285. The strong wind that had made conditions tough during the first three rounds subsided Sunday. Joost Luiten of the Netherlands was second after a 71. Tournament host Sergio Garcia was third at 3 over after a 67, the 67 — the best rounds of the day.

CHICO’S PATTY BERG MEMORIAL

FORT MYERS, FLA.

Madelene Sagstrom won the Chico’s Patty Berg Memorial at Cypress Lake for her first Symetra Tour title, and Lorie Kane took the Legends Tour event. The 23-year-old Sagstrom, the Southeastern Conference player of the year last season at LSU, closed with a 3-over 75 in strong wind for a one-stroke victory. She earned $30,000 to take the season money lead with $52,914, breaking the $50,000 mark in a tour-record three events. Sagstrom finished at 9-under 279 after opening with rounds of 69, 66 and 69. Germany’s Sophia Popov was second after a 73. Kane finished with a 71 for a two-stroke victory in the 36-hole Legends Tour event. The 51-year-old Canadian had a 1-under 143 total. Barb Mucha was second after a 73.

LOTTE CHAMPIONSHIP

KAPOLEI, HAWAII

Minjee Lee won the Lotte Championship on Saturday for her second LPGA Tour title, closing with an 8-under 64 for a one-stroke victory. The 19-year-old Australian played a seven-hole stretch in 6 under with a chip-in eagle on the par-5 13th and four birdies. She rebounded from a third-round 74 to finish at 16-under 272 at Ko Olina. Third-round leader Katie Burnett and U.S. Women’s Open champion In Gee Chun tied for second. Lee made an 11-foot birdie putt on the par-4 17th and got up-and-down for par from short of the green on the par-4 18th, holing a 6-foot putt. She won the Kingsmill Championship last year in Virginia. Burnett shot a 70. She lost the lead with a three-putt bogey on the par-3 16th, then missed a 6-foot birdie try on 17 and a long birdie putt on 18. The 26-year-old Georgia player, winless on the tour, led most of the day, going bogey-free for 40 holes before dropping a shot at No. 7. Chun finished with a 67, missing a 20-foot birdie try on 18. She tied for second for the second straight event after sitting out a month because of a back injury. She was hurt when she was struck by a hard-case suitcase that rival South Korean player Ha Na Jang’s father dropped down an escalator at the Singapore airport.
