Amy Yang wins the Women's PGA Championship for her first major title

Amy Yang built a huge lead and survived a couple of late mistakes to win her long-awaited first major title on Sunday, a three-shot victory in the KMPG Women’s PGA Championship.

Yang closed with an even-par 72 at Sahalee to finish at 7-under 281. She was nearly flawless for the first 15 holes and reached 10 under for the tournament for a seven-shot lead before running into a little bit of trouble. But none of her pursuers was able to mount a significant charge.

At age 34, Yang is the oldest major winner on the LPGA Tour since Angela Stanford won the 2018 Evian Championship at age 40. Anna Nordqvist had recently turned 34 when she won the Women’s British Open in 2021.

This was Yang’s 75th major start, the most before a player’s first major title since Stanford, who was playing her 76th.

Scottie Scheffler wins Travelers Championship in a playoff as protesters storm 18th green

Scheffler beat Tom Kim in a one-hole playoff on Sunday afternoon to win the Travelers Championship in Connecticut. He posted a final-round 66, which dropped him to 22-under on the week, and then he quickly closed out Kim with a short par putt in the playoff to officially grab the win.

Scheffler is now the first player in PGA Tour history to grab six wins in a single season before July since Arnold Palmer did so in 1962.

Rocket Mortgage Classic

Eight-hole playoff finalizes Monday qualifiers for Rocket Mortgage

At one of the more dramatic Monday qualifiers in recent memory, it took eight playoff holes to determine the final two of four available spots in this week's Rocket Mortgage Classic. The reward is well worth it: a PGA TOUR tee time.

Brandon Berry, Angelo Giantsopoulos, Danny Guise and Nick Bienz advanced from a 5-for-4 playoff, with the latter two earning spots on the eighth extra hole at The Orchards Golf Club in Washington, Michigan. They'll advance to compete at this week's Rocket Mortgage Classic; Beau Breault was the odd man out after all five players carded 7-under 65 in Monday's qualifier.

Berry and Guise have shown a propensity for success at Monday qualifiers in recent times; this marks Berry's third successful Monday qualifier on TOUR this season, while Guise Monday qualified into four TOUR events a year ago. Giantsopoulos and Bienz will each make their PGA TOUR debut in "Motown."

Thailand's Thitikul and China's Yin capture LPGA pairs title

Thailand's Atthaya Thitikul sank a 10-foot birdie putt at the par-3 18th hole on Sunday to give herself and China's Yin Ruoning the victory at the LPGA Great Lakes Bay Invitational.

The 21-year-old Asian stars combined for an eight-under-par 62 in the four-ball final round at Michigan's Midland Country Club to finish 72 holes on 22-under 258 and edge Americans Jennifer Kupcho and Ally Ewing by one stroke.

"We just had a lot of fun," Yin said. "We keep each other accountable."
