BMW Championship: Camilo Villegas shot a 68 on Sunday to claim his first PGA Tour title with a 15-under 265 total at Bellerive and moved to second in the FedExCup standings with only the Tour Championship remaining. Dudley Hart claimed second with a 65 and moved all the way from 67th in the Cup standings to 14th, earning a spot in the Tour Championship. Jim Furyk (70) and Anthony Kim (68) tied for third.
Euro Masters: Jean-François Lucquin made birdie on the second hole of a playoff to beat Rory McIlroy, who started the day four ahead of Lucquin and the field. But the 19 year-old, who was looking to become the European Tour's third-youngest winner shot 71 including an ugly bogey on the final hole to set up the playoff, then went on to lose it.
LPGA News: LPGA commissioner Carolyn Bivens released a statement on Friday morning in which says that the LPGA Tour is backing down on penalties for foreign players that don't learn English. In our, "Buzz" column we have the press release that has just gone out to all media outlets on this. Of course we can read all of the stories on this in our LPGA section.
