PGA Tour – the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide

Jason Dufner finished at 13-under 275 for his fifth PGA TOUR victory, and he joined tournament host Jack Nicklaus as the only Ohio-born winners of the Memorial.

Dufner never lost sight of the big picture even after losing a big lead. It paid off when he made a 32-foot par putt on the final hole that wrapped up his victory Sunday at the Memorial Tournament presented by Nationwide.

Dufner lost a five-shot lead in the third round. He started the final round facing a four-shot deficit. And then he played his best golf on the back nine, and kept his composure during two rain delays, to close with a 4-under 68 and win by three shots.

"Yesterday was not my best day," Dufner said of his 77. "But I had to get over it quick. It's a 72-hole tournament, there's a lot of things that can happen out there. I knew I was still in the mix."

European Tour - Nordea Masters

Italy's Renato Paratore captured the Nordea Masters at Barsebäck Golf & Country Club with a one stroke victory over Chris Wood and Matt Fitzpatrick to claim his first European Tour title.

The Italian entered the final day a shot behind Wood and showed real guts to save par on the last three holes and sign for a 70 and an 11 under par total, leaving the Englishman needing a par up the last to set up a play-off.

With the 20 year old looking on from the clubhouse, Wood hit a ragged tee-shot into the trees and recorded a bogey as Paratore became the youngest winner on Tour since countryman and GolfSixes partner Matteo Manassero won the BMW PGA Championship in 2013.

Overnight leader Kim matched Chang’s par on the16th but bogeyed the next and double bogeyed the 18th for a total of 15.

Chang, two shots adrift of Kim at the start of the day, birdied the final three holes in regulation play to card a 70 while Kim matched Chang’s birdies on 17 and 18 for a battling one over 72.

They were tied on seven under 277, one stroke ahead of last year’s runner up Choi Jinho, who climbed the leaderboard with a best-of-the-day 65, and Hur Inhoi (69).

Web.com Tour – Rex Hospital Open

Conrad Shindler dropped in a two-putt par on the first playoff hole to win the Rex Hospital Open. Shindler forced extra holes with a final-round, 4-under 67 and then after one more trip down the 18th fairway, ran over to celebrate his first career Web.com Tour victory in the arms of his waiting fiancée, who had flown in to surprise him.

“It’s going to take a couple days and seeing a couple pictures or looking at the trophy for it to really sink in, but it’s an incredible experience right now,” Shindler said. “You always dream of it. You always dream of picking up the trophy and to get to do it is unbelievable.”

On the first playoff hole, Hadley missed a three-foot putt for par and Shindler knocked in an 18-inch putt to secure the win and the $117,000 winner’s check to move up to fifth on the Web.com Tour money list.

“I’m not going to lie, to have that 18-inch putt, I was shaking,” Shindler said. “You always dream of those moments, but when it comes down, you got to saddle up and still execute.”

Shindler, a Web.com Tour rookie, entered the day one shot back of the lead but jumped into the lead with a front-nine, 4-under 32 that included birdies on Nos. 3, 4, 5, and 7. With the lead in hand and a host of players giving chase, Shindler posted his lone bogey of the day at No. 12 but countered it with a birdie at No. 13 to post an even-par back nine and force extra holes. Shindler entered the 72nd hole with a chance to birdie for the win but missed the green short right. He was able to get up and down for par, though, to enter the playoff.

Sunshine Tour – Mopani Redpath Zambia Open

Riekus Nortje kept a cool head at Nkana Golf Club to shoot a flawless four-under-par 68 final round of the Mopani Redpath Zambia Open and win his maiden Sunshine Tour title with a total 18-under-par on Sunday.

In a tightly contested affair which looked like it would like it might go into a play-off between himself and Ockie Strydom – whom he beat by two strokes – at some stage, Nortje showed maturity and refused to let the magnitude of the event overwhelm him. Two birdies on the front nine ensured he tightened his grip atop the leaderboard, and another on 12 followed before he made another one on 17 to clinch the title.

“It hasn’t sunk in yet.” he said after his win. “I think tomorrow I will definitely feel it. About two or three years ago I was nowhere with my golf. I had a (Sunshine Tour) card at one stage; lost the card, played Big Easy Tour. Playing the Big Easy was important for me.”

For a player who had not won on the Sunshine Tour before, Nortje said he was quite comfortable in Kitwe and felt no pressure. “Coming down the home stretch I was actually very comfortable hitting the ball. I actually had no nerves,” he said.

“On 13 there I got a bit of a flyer,” he said of the up-and-down he made there to save par, “and I hit it long and hit a pretty good chip from where I was and made a good putt. 14, I thought the wind was in to me so I hit it straight into the wind; hit it long again; got a bad lie and again the putter saved me.
