Roberts wins second Senior British Open

Loren Roberts won his second Senior British Open title Sunday, beating Mark McNulty on the third hole of a sudden-death playoff in Sunningdale, England.

Fred Funk also took part in the playoff, but was eliminated on the first extra hole when he made par as Roberts and McNulty birdied. The remaining pair parred the second playoff hole before Roberts clinched victory with another par at the next hole.

Greg Norman, the third-round leader, missed birdie chances at the first three holes and double-bogeyed the 17th after driving into trees. Norman finished in a tie for sixth place, three strokes behind the leaders.

Roberts, who won in 2006 at Turnberry, and Funk each shot a 67 in the final round. McNulty shot 64. Bernhard Langer (65) was fourth with Sam Torrance (67) fifth. Norman (71) and Larry Mize (68) were next.

PGA Tour

Jason Dufner played six holes in 1 under to top the Canadian Open leaderboard before play was washed out because of the latest round of heavy rain and lightning, forcing the tournament in Oakville, Ontario, to at least a fifth day.

Dufner, the second-round leader after rounds of 68 and 63 on the saturated Glen Abbey course, had a one-stroke lead over Anthony Kim and Jerry Kelly. Kim was 4 under after nine holes in the third round, and Kelly was 1 under through six.

The players are scheduled to resume play today, the first time the tournament has gone past the weekend since 1988. PGA Tour officials still hope to complete four rounds in the event drenched by about 5 inches of rain in four days.

Scott Verplank was two strokes back at 12 under along with Retief Goosen, Bob Estes, Peter Tomasulo and Michael Letzig.

LPGA Tour

Ai Miyazato of Japan won the Evian Masters with a birdie on the first playoff hole, beating Sophie Gustafson of Sweden to clinch her first victory on the LPGA Tour in Evian-les-Bains, France.

Miyazato steadied herself and sank a putt from about 6 feet after Gustafson had missed her birdie putt from the edge of the green. Miyazato shot a 3-under 69 and Gustafson had a 70 as both finished at 14-under 274.

Gustafson had a chance to win it on the 18th, but her eagle putt stopped at the edge of the hole.

Michelle Wie tied for 23rd at 5 under, but failed to collect any points in her bid for a place on the United States team for next month's Solheim Cup match against Europe. Wie had three birdies on the last four holes to salvage her round, but finished just out of the top 20 to miss out on getting Solheim Cup points.
