Perry wins Buick Open for 2nd time
Kenny Perry joined a short list of multiple champions at the 50th Buick Open.
Perry shot a 6-under 66 on Sunday to finish at 19-under 269, one shot better than Woody Austin, who blew the tournament and $900,000 by bogeying the last two holes, and Bubba Watson, who missed a 12-footer on the final green.
Vijay Singh has three victories at Warwick Hills in Grand Blanc, Mich. Tiger Woods, Julius Boros, Tony Lema and now Perry have won twice.
Perry, who won in 2001 at Warwick Hills, has 11 victories on the PGA Tour, including the Memorial earlier this month. After winning the Memorial, he stuck with his plan to not enter a U.S. Open qualifier.
Austin and Watson shot 68s. Bob Tway (65), Ken Duke (67) and Matt Jones (67) finished another stroke behind at 17 under.
U.S. Open runner-up Rocco Mediate closed with a 70 and finished 11 under, tied for 28th.
Roberts captures first Champions victory of season: Loren Roberts won for the first time this year, shooting a 3-under 68 to cap a wire-to-wire, one-stroke victory over Nick Price and Lonnie Nielsen in the Commerce Bank Championship at East Meadow, N.Y.
Roberts had three second-place finishes on the Champions Tour this year, including last week to Jeff Sluman, but his 12-under 201 total gave him his eighth title on the over-50 circuit, matching his total from his PGA Tour career.
Larrazabal wins for first time on PGA European Tour: Spanish rookie Pablo Larrazabal won the French Open for his first PGA European Tour victory, closing with a 4-under 67 for a four-stroke victory over Scotland's Colin Montgomerie at Saint-Quentin-En-Yve-Lines, France.
