Reid wins playoff at Senior PGA

The Senior PGA Championship was Dana Quigley's to win all Sunday, then Jerry Pate's. Somehow, some way, Mike Reid won it instead.

Reid, down by three shots with one hole to play in Ligonier, Pa., forced himself into a three-way playoff with Quigley and Pate with a long eagle putt on No. 18, then birdied the same hole in a playoff for his first tournament win since 1990.

Pate, absent from tournament golf for more than 20 years, missed an 8-footer for birdie that would have forced a second playoff hole, and Quigley was out of it after hitting his second shot into the water on the 515-yard, par-5 hole.

That Reid made the playoff was remarkable by itself, as Quigley and Pate seemingly staged a two-man race all day. Reid was down by six shots with eight to play and three shots with only the 18th left, only to drop a 30-footer for an eagle 3 while Pate bogeyed by three-putting from 18 feet.

Reid and Pate shot 70s to match Quigley (72) at 8-under 280.

PGA Tour

Justin Leonard frittered away most of the largest lead on the PGA Tour this year before pulling out a one-stroke victory over David Toms in the St. Jude Classic in Memphis, Tenn., on Sunday, the first wire-to-wire win of his career and the second on tour this year.

Starting with an eight-stroke lead, Leonard closed with a 3-over 73 to finish at 14-under 266 and earn his second title of the year and 10th of his career.

It's the second time Leonard didn't record a birdie in his final round and still won, the last at 2002 in Hilton Head when he became the first tour winner to do that in seven years. He hit only five of 18 greens in regulation.

Toms, the winner the previous two years, helped spice up the final holes with a 63 that included four birdies, an eagle and a bogey on the back nine.

Leonard also won the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic in January.

LPGA Tour

South Korea's Jimin Kang aced the 15th hole just moments after a deflating bogey and shot a 6-under 66 to win the LPGA Corning Classic in Corning, N.Y., edging Annika Sorenstam and rookie Meena Lee by two strokes for her first career title.

Kang, who finished with a 15-under 273 total, became the seventh first-time winner in the tournament's 27-year history and denied Sorenstam her fifth victory in seven starts this year. Sorenstam, ailing with a cold all week, made a late charge with three birdies over her final seven holes en route to a 69.

Lee finished with a 67.

European PGA Tour

Argentina's Angel Cabrera won the BMW Championship in Virginia Water, England, for his third European tour title, closing with a 5-under 67 for a two-stroke victory over Ireland's Paul McGinley.

Cabrera and McGinley battled down the stretch until the Argentine broke away with a birdie on No. 16, and finished at 15-under 273 on Wentworth's West Course.

McGinley shot a 67, and Australia's Nick O'Hern had a 64 to finish third, four strokes behind. Wentworth resident Ernie Els had a 71 to tie for 39th, 15 strokes back.
