Shanshan Feng set a high target for such low scoring at the Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic, and she figured she had done enough. Three birdies in a four-hole stretch had taken her from three shots behind to one shot ahead Sunday, or so she thought. It was only after she hit 7-iron to 3 feet on the final

Steph Curry can’t even let his guard down in the offseason … ’cause the dude’s getting challenged WHEREVER he goes — even on the golf course!! Curry was participating in the practice round at the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament at Edgewood Tahoe on Thursday … when his own caddie grabbed a basketball and put the NBA superstar in a blender!! Curry’s reaction is hilarious … the dude even reenacts his infamous mouthpiece toss from the 2016 NBA Finals!! (Obviously, Curry was in on the joke … but, it’s still really funny) BTW — there’s a TON of athletes competing in the tourney Friday — from Sean Payton to Jared Goff to Vince Carter. But, they didn’t get crossed up
RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico — Viktor Hovland won the Puerto Rico Open on Sunday for his first PGA TOUR title, chipping in for eagle on the par-5 15th and racing in a 30-footer for birdie on the par-5 18th for a one-stroke victory over Josh Teater. Related: Leaderboard | Winner’s Bag: Viktor Hovland “The only or the first person to play out here was Henry Bjornstad,” Hovland said. “I grew up kind of watching him play or following the scores online. So to kind of follow his footsteps and be able to win kind of the first tournament for Norway is really special. A bunch of my friends and just normal people from back home paying attention, which is a lot more than I could ask for.” Hovland overcame a muddy triple bogey on the par-3 11th with the late surge at windy Coco Beach. The 22-year-old former Oklahoma State star shot a 2-under 70 to finish at 20-under 268. “It feels crazy being here,” Hovland said. “It was certainly a day of lots of ups and downs.” Teater closed with a 69 in the tournament played opposite the World Golf Championships event in Mexico. He rebounded from bogeys on Nos. 10 and 11 with birdies on 15 and 17. “Hats off to Viktor, that’s a great putt,” Teater said. “Actually, heard it on the radio that it went in before I saw it on TV. He’s a great player and we’re going to see it more often.” Hovland earned $540,000, a full TOUR exemption through the 2021-22 season and spots in the PGA Championship and THE PLAYERS Championship. “I was just thinking about trying to play as well as I could today and trying to get the job done,” Hovland said. “I hadn’t really thought about the perks yet, but I’m sure it’s going to be nice to get into some of the events that I wasn’t already qualified for.” Hovland shot a 64 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead into the final round. He earned a PGA TOUR card last year in the Korn Ferry Tour Finals after winning the 2018 U.S. Amateur at Pebble Beach, then sweeping low amateur honors at The Masters and U.S. Open. Kyle Stanley, Sam Ryder and Emiliano Grillo tied for third at 15 under. Stanley had a 68, and Ryder and Grillo shot 69. Martin Laird, a shot behind Hovland entering the day, closed with a 75 to tie for sixth at 14 under with Matthew NeSmith (67) and Ted Potter Jr. (69). Jhonattan Vegas shot 62 to reach 13 under.
Brooks Koepka shot a final-round 68 to win the U.S. Open for the second straight year on Sunday, becoming just the seventh golfer in 115 years to go back-to-back.
