Perry captures Travelers with 63

Kenny Perry shot 63 Sunday to finish with a tournament-record 258 and win the Travelers Championship by three strokes over Paul Goydos and David Toms.

The 48-year old Perry, who led after each of the first two rounds, trailed by a stroke to Paul Goydos heading into Sunday's final round in Cromwell, Conn.

But he shot 32 on the front nine and was up by five strokes heading to the par-4 15th.

Goydos made a 20-foot eagle putt from the fringe on 15 and birdied 16. But he missed a birdie putt on 17.

Perry birdied 15, and put the tournament away by making birdie on 17 after hitting a 164-yard approach to within 8 feet. His bogey-bogey finish at Augusta kept him from winning the Masters in April.

Perry takes home just over $1 million with the victory, and has now won five times in just more than a year, the most of any player on tour. He has 12 top-10 finishes over that span while making every cut. His 258 is tied for fourth-best 72-hole score in Tour history. It beats the old tournament record of 259 set by Tim Norris is 1982.

The win also moves Perry to the front of the FedEx Cup standings. It was his 14th career victory.

LPGA Tour

Jiyai Shin picked up her fifth title in 11 months with a seven-stroke victory at the Wegmans LPGA.

The 21-year-old South Korean shot a 1-under 71 to finish at 17-under 271.

Kristy McPherson and Yani Tseng each shot a 66, the day's best score, to surge into a second-place tie at 10 under. One behind were rookie Stacy Lewis, Mika Miyazato and Haeji Kang.

Shin carried a four-stroke lead into the final round at the tricky Locust Hill course in suburban Rochester, N.Y. She never looked in danger of being caught.

She earned $300,000, vaulting her to the top of the money list with $1 million.

Champions Tour

Lonnie Nielsen shot a 9-under 63 to beat Fred Funk and Ronnie Black by three shots for his second Champions Tour victory at the Dick Sporting Goods Open in Endicott, N.Y.

Nielsen, who turns 56 today, finished at 21-under 195, a record for the tournament. That was three shots better than the mark set by 2008 winner Eduardo Romero.

Funk (69) entered the final round with a three-shot lead over Nielsen, Romero (73), and Black (66). It was the first time in four tries that Funk failed to win when leading entering the final round.

Romero (74) finished 11 shots behind.
