Trump picks ex-N. Korea policy official as his principal deputy national security adviser
SHIMA, Japan (AP) ― Stacy Lewis of the United States shot an 8-under 64 on Sunday to win the Mizuno Classic for her fourth LPGA title of the season.
Lewis, who carded 10 birdies against two bogeys at Kintetsu Kashikojima Country Club, started the final round seven strokes back of overnight leader Lee Bo-mee of South Korea but birdied the last three holes to finish at 11-under 205 to win by one stroke.
Lee had three bogeys and three birdies for a 72 to finish in second place.
Lewis moved into a tie with a 12-foot birdie putt on the par-3 17th and then took sole possession of the lead with a 25-foot birdie putt on the last hole.
She claimed the $180,000 winner’s prize when Lee’s 20-foot birdie putt on 18 went long.
Charles Schwab Cup
SCOTTSDALE, Arizona (AP) ― Tom Lehman took the lead in the Charles Schwab Cup Championship and moved closer to becoming the first player to win the season points title two straight years.
Lehman birdied the final hole for an 8-under 62 and a one-stroke lead over Fred Couples on Saturday in the Champions Tour’s season-ending event. Couples also shot a 62 to join Lehman in the final group, making two eagles in a round that could have been much lower.
“I really like the pairing,” Lehman said. “Hopefully, he plays his best, and, hopefully, I play my best and we’ll see what happens. ... You got to go out there and make birdies and shoot low again.”
Lehman shot the lowest round of his Champions Tour career for the second straight day. At 63-62 and 15 under, he was a stroke off the tour record for consecutive rounds set by Bruce Fleisher at 60-64 and 16 under in the 2002 RJR Championship.
“I played really well the last two days, probably as well as I’ve played in six months,” said Lehman, a two-time winner this year.
“I hit the ball very solidly both days. I gave myself a lot of chances for birdie. I’ve made my share, obviously. I think the big thing though is the saves. I’ve made a couple of really amazing key saves over the last couple of days.”
