O'Hare wins first trophy on PGA Tour

Sitting behind a trophy, his wife and in-laws in front of him, Sean O'Hair was very much a man at peace.

He's having the success his father demanded, winning the John Deere Classic in Silvis, Ill., on Sunday for his first victory in just his 18th career PGA Tour start, a day before his 23rd birthday. But he's found a way to win and be happy, a balance that didn't seem possible when he was growing up.

O'Hair shot a 6-under 65 to finish at 16-under 268 total on the TPC at Deere Run. He earned $720,000 and a spot in the British Open.

Hank Kuehne (68) and Robert Damron (67) finished a stroke behind, and J.L Lewis (72), 2004 winner Mark Hensby (64) and Wes Short (66) were another shot back.

The tournament lost much of its buzz after Michelle Wie failed in her attempt to become the first woman to make a PGA Tour cut in 60 years, missing by two strokes. But some of the electricity was back Sunday thanks to O'Hair.

O'Hair may look like he's still in high school, but his personality and game are well beyond his years, forged by a childhood that was anything but. His father, Marc, pushed him relentlessly, seemingly more interested in raising a pro golfer than a son.

O'Hair was up running every day at 5 a.m., and on the course from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. For every bogey on his scorecard, his father made him run a mile. He was pushed to turn pro at 17, before he'd even graduated from high school.

O'Hair hasn't spoken to his father since Dec. 28, 2002, O'Hair's wedding day.

Champions Tour

Peter Jacobsen could only wait and watch as Hale Irwin tried to catch him in the final round of the Senior Players Championship in Dearborn, Mich.

After Jacobsen birdied two of the last three holes to take the lead at 15 under, the 60-year-old Irwin just missed birdie tries on the final two holes to come up a stroke short Sunday in his bid for his eighth senior major victory.

The 51-year-old Jacobsen won his second senior major title in less than year, finishing with a 6-under 66 on the TPC of Michigan course.

Jacobsen, playing three groups ahead of Irwin, made a birdie putt out of a collection area on the 16th and two-putted from 80 feet on the next hole for a birdie to surge past Irwin (70).

LPGA Tour

Heather Bowie won her first LPGA Tour title, parring the third hole of a playoff with Gloria Park in the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic in Sylvania, Ohio.

Park made things easy for Bowie, hitting a low hook out of the rough and into a creek on the par-5 18th hole. After hitting clutch putts on the first two extra holes to extend the playoff, Park triple-bogeyed the last hole.

Scottish Open

Tim Clark finally won outside his native South Africa, surviving seven lead changes in a wild scramble among five players, then pulling away for a 4-under 67 and a two-shot victory in the Scottish Open in Luss, Scotland.

Ernie Els (68) finished six strokes back, and Phil Mickelson (69) was 14 shots out of the lead.

Nationwide Tour

U.S. Open fan favorite Jason Gore won the Nationwide Tour's National Mining Association Pete Dye Classic in Bridgeport, W.Va., closing with a 4-under 68 for a one-stroke victory over Doug LaBelle II.
