PGA Tour
At age 47, Kenny Perry became the oldest winner of The Memorial. He joined Tiger Woods as the only 3-time winner of Jack's tournament. And the victory was also the 10th of his PGA Tour career. Perry finished at 280, the only player among the leaders to break 70 in the final round (with a 69). He won by two over Mathew Goggin, Jerry Kelly, Mike Weir and Justin Rose.
European Tour
Scott Strange has won the Asian Tour before, but on Sunday he earned his first Euro Tour victory at the Celtic Manor Wales Open. Strange suffered dizzy spells on the course in the third round, but he seemed fine Sunday: He shot 64. Robert Karlsson was second, four strokes behind.
Champions Tour
Jay Haas fired a 65 on Sunday at the Principal Charity Classic to pip Andy Bean by a stroke. Haas finished at 10-under 203, just ahead of Bean who shot 67 in the final round. Nick Price was third.
Nationwide Tour
Kris Blanks held off a charging Bob May, who closed with a 64, to win the Bank of America Open. Blanks posted a 68 in the final round, finishing at 16-under. Casey Wittenberg tied with May in second.
LPGA Tour
Sophie Gustafson collapsed, Seon Hwa Lee surged, and Lee wound up winning the Ginn Tributed in a playoff. Gustafson began the day six strokes ahead of the field, but wound up shooting 79 and tumbling to fourth. Lee, meanwhile, fired a 67, finishing at 14-under. Karrie Webb birdied the 18th to tie Lee, then Lee won on the first playoff hole with a par.
Ladies European Tour
Amy Yang cruised to a 4-stroke win at the Ladies German Open, finishing with a 67 and a 21-under total of 267. Louise Stahle was second. Michelle Wie closed with a 67 and was alone in sixth at 14-under.
Futures Tour
Mindy Kim won for the second time this season - and the second time in a row - at the Aurora Health Care Championship. Kim was the only player to finish under par, at 3-under. Among the four tied for second was Bri Vega, former "Big Break" championship, for her best Futures Tour showing to date.

it was a par!
great 2-putt from 45 or s feet, while Webb 3-putted from about 16—including a missed 3-footer for the loss…but still a fantastic win for the top Junior Mint, her 3rd in less than 3 years on tour….

up 
Perry
Don’t you know that Kenny Perry is breathing a LOT easier after today ? After all these weeks of being close or even having a lead on Sunday, he finally got the win.
I hope his points and results hold up so he makes the Ryder Cup squad.
