Broadhurst Overcomes Deficit to Clinch Senior Open

By ESPN

England's Paul Broadhurst overcame a four-shot deficit on the final day to clinch the Senior Open title at Carnoustie.

Broadhurst, 50, began the last round four shots adrift of overnight leader Miguel Angel Jimenez, but a final-round 68 was enough to clinch him his first major title as the Spaniard fell away to card a three-over-par 75.

Broadhurst, who shot 75 on the opening day, finished on 11 under par, two shots ahead of American Scott McCarron, who closed with a 69, while Jimenez finished a shot further back and tied for third with Sweden's Magnus Persson Atlevi.

Atlevi closed with a 67 to join Jimenez on eight under, ahead of four Americans. Brandt Jobe and Tom Byrum both finished seven under ahead of Joe Durant and Wes Short Jr (both six under).

Bernhard Langer, who won the Senior Open at Carnoustie in 2010, shot four consecutive rounds of 71 to finish on four under, seven shots back.

Vegas Claims RBC Canadian Open

Jhonattan Vegas birdied his way off Glen Abbey and waited to see if anyone could catch him. No one could.

Vegas rallied to win the RBC Canadian Open on Sunday by birdieing the final three holes at Glen Abbey for an 8-under 64 and 1-stroke victory.

With his victory, Vegas earned $1,062,000 and punched his ticket to the PGA Championship, the year's final major championship, which starts Thursday at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey.

The 29-year-old Venezuelan Olympian began the day 5 strokes behind leader Brandt Snedeker and 4 behind U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson and Canadian amateur Jared du Toit. Vegas had five straight birdies on Nos. 2-6, bogeyed the par-4 eighth and birdied the par-5 13th. He then birdied the par-5 16th, par-4 17th and par-5 18th to post a 12-under 276.
