DETROIT (AP) — Cam Davis won his second tournament at the Rocket Mortgage Classic on Sunday with a 2-under 70, winning by one stroke after Akshay Bhatia three-putted from 32 feet on the final hole.
Davis, the 29-year-old Australian who won his first PGA Tour title three years ago at the Detroit Golf Club, tied Bhatia with a birdie on the par-5 17th hole.
That proved enough on the 18th hole when Bhatia attempted a 4-foot par but missed low, resulting in his first three-putt of the week.
Davis finished at 18-under 270 after a day when the final pairing of Bhatia and Aaron Lai missed out on opportunities, each shooting 72. Davis Thompson (68) and Ming Woo Lee (69) also finished one stroke behind.
The 22-year-old Bhatia was seeking his third PGA Tour victory and second this year after either leading or sharing the lead after the first three rounds.
Cameron Young shot 73 and then made two bogeys in his final three holes to plummet to sixth place. Young, who is yet to win on the PGA Tour, broke his driver in frustration on the 14th tee box.
LPGA Tour
MIDLAND, Mich. (AP) — Thailand's Attaya Thitikul made a 12-foot birdie putt on the final hole and she and China's Luoning Yin won the Dow Championship with an 8-under 62 in the four-ball format.
Titicul and Ying are good friends and each was once ranked No. 1 in the women's world rankings. They trailed Allie Ewing and Jennifer Kupcho by two strokes on the back nine, but Ewing caught up and tied the score. Ewing birdied the 14th and 15th holes and made a difficult chip shot on the 16th hole to save par and stay tied.
Thitikul and Luoning were playing in the front group, and Thitikul hit her tee shot over the water and 12 feet behind the cup on the par-3 18th hole. Her birdie putt was accurate all the way, and the two headed to the clubhouse with smiles on their faces to see if it would hold up.
Ewing missed a 25-foot birdie putt on the final hole that would have forced a playoff, and she and Kupcho both finished with 64 strokes.
European Tour
VERCIA, Italy (AP) — Marcel Siem drilled a 20-foot birdie putt on the final hole to force a playoff and then beat Tom McKibbin on the first hole of overtime to win the Italian Open.
It was Siem's sixth victory on the European Tour and his fourth since returning from hip surgery in February.
Both Siem and McKibbin finished at 10 under par.
Thiem was three strokes behind clubhouse leader McKibbin after the eighth hole of the final round, then four bogeys put him one stroke behind heading into the 18th hole, but Thiem made a 20-foot putt to finish with an even-par 71 and advance to a playoff.
McKibbin shot a bogey-free 65 in the final round at Adriatic Golf Club Cervia. He earned the consolation prize of qualifying for the British Open along with American Sean Crocker, who finished one stroke behind the leader with a 68.
USGA and PGA Tour Champions
NEWPORT, R.I. (AP) — Hiroyuki Fujita was leading by three strokes with eight holes to go in the final round of the U.S. Senior Open on Sunday when bad weather at Newport Country Club caused the tournament to be halted.
When the storm horn sounded at 3 p.m., Fujita was 2 under par for the day. The USGA announced at 4:55 p.m. that the tournament would resume on Monday.
Richard Bland birdied his first three holes to move into second place. The Senior PGA champion was 13 under par with eight holes to play. Richard Green was 1 under par for the day and minus-12 for the tournament. Steve Stricker, runner-up in the U.S. Senior Open the past two years, was 2 over par after the fourth round and fell to six strokes behind the leader.
Tournament organizers tried to hold the golf match between morning fog that obscured the towers of the nearby Newport Bridge and obscured the green from the tee, and a forecast of severe weather for the afternoon.
Korn Ferry Tours
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Max McGreevey birdied the 18th hole and shot a 2-under 71 to win the Memorial Health Championship by one stroke, move into second place on the Korn Ferry Tour points standings and clinch a spot on the full PGA Tour next year.
At Panther Creek, McGreevey avoided a playoff with a birdie, tying Stephen Fisk, who had already shot 67.
Fisk moved to the top of the points list with his runner-up finish. Jackson Suber finished third with a shot of 66.
McGreevey has finished in the top 10 for the sixth time this year on the Korn Ferry Tour, including a runner-up finish last month in North Carolina.
