US Senior Open

PEABODY, MASS.

Kenny Perry claimed his second U.S. Senior Open on Sunday, pulling away from Kirk Triplett at Salem Country Club to finish at 16 under and win by two strokes. The 56-year-old Perry closed with a shot 2-under 68 for a record score of 264. Perry also won the event in 2013 in Omaha, Nebraska. It is his fourth major victory on the senior tour. Perry started the day one stroke behind Triplett but five ahead of the next-closest contender, Brandt Jobe. Triplett, who tied the tournament record with a 62 in the opening round, had five bogeys Sunday and shot 71. Jobe had a 70 to finish seven strokes back. Tom Lehman and Fred Couples each shot 69 to tie for fourth at 8 under.

KPMG Women’s PGA Championship

OLYMPIA FIELDS, ILL.

Danielle Kang birdied the final hole to win the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship on Sunday for her first LPGA Tour title, edging defending champion Brooke Henderson. Kang bogeyed the tricky par-3 17th, and Henderson closed with two birdies to move into a tie for the lead, coming up just short on a 30-foot eagle putt on the par-5 18th. But Kang responded with two solid shots to get to the green in two, and then two-putted for the victory. It was another great finish for the LPGA Tour’s second major of the season. The 19-year-old Henderson beat Lydia Ko in a playoff last year at Sahalee in Washington. The 24-year-old Kang closed with a 4-under 68 to finish at 13-under 271 at Olympia Fields. Henderson had a 66, and Chella Choi shot a 71 to finish third at 10 under.

French Open

GUYANCOURT, FRANCE

Tommy Fleetwood hit a faultless 5-under 66 to win the French Open on Sunday by one shot ahead of Peter Uihlein of the United States. The Englishman had five birdies and no bogeys to finish at 12 under while Uihlein just failed to force a playoff after making a late charge. The 26-year-old Fleetwood has been in good form recently, finishing fourth at the U.S. Open last month. This was his third European Tour win and second of the year, after clinching the prestigious Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in January ahead of Dustin Johnson and Pablo Larrazabal. The victory moved Fleetwood to the top of the Race to Dubai rankings. Uihlein, the overnight co-leader, was seeking his second career win and posted a 3-under 68. The American made a rough start, with bogeys on holes 4 and 5. But he then recovered superbly, sinking four birdies from Nos. 11 to 17 to give himself a chance of catching Fleetwood. Ultimately, Uihlein fell short, managing only par on the 18th. Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark had eight birdies in a 6-under 65, while Frenchman Mike Lorenzo-Vera shot 66 as both charged up the leaderboard to finish in a tie for third with Sweden’s Alexander Bjork (71) at 8 under. Bjork, the overnight co-leader with Uihlein, could only manage par on the day, with three bogeys canceling out his three birdies. Thomas Pieters of Belgium and Englishman Andy Sullivan — one shot back from the co-leaders overnight along with Fleetwood — had a bad day with 3-over 74s. Pieters had three double bogeys, and Sullivan had one double bogey and four bogeys.
