Solheim Cup goes to U.S. again

Morgan Pressel delivered the clinching point with her 3-and-2 victory over Anna Nordqvist on Sunday at Sugar Grove, Ill., and the Americans won their third straight Solheim Cup with a 16-12 decision over Europe.

After Nordqvist missed an 8-footer to keep the match going, Pressel's teammates leaped up and started celebrating.

Michelle Wie, whose 3-0-1 record was the best of any American this week, grabbed a U.S. flag and held it aloft to cries of "Wheee!" from the crowd.

PGA Tour

Ryan Moore won for the first time on the PGA Tour with a birdie on the third hole of a sudden death playoff to beat Kevin Stadler in Greensboro, N.C.

Moore had two chances to seal the victory after his approach on No. 18 landed in the middle of the green and rolled to 6 feet. He sank that putt for his first victory in his 112th event.

Stadler's second shot on the third playoff hole skipped off the back of the green.

Stadler, Moore and Jason Bohn forced the playoff after they were tied at 16-under 264 through 72 holes. Bohn was eliminated on the first playoff hole.

Champions Tour

Mike Reid made a 12-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole to beat John Cook and win the Jeld-Wen Tradition for his second career major on the Champions Tour at Sunriver, Ore.

Reid's two majors -- he also won the 2005 Senior PGA Championship -- are his only two wins on the tour.

Reid shot a final-round 70 and Cook had a 69 to finish at 16-under 272.

Nationwide Tour

Michael Sim played his way onto the PGA Tour.

The Australian shot a 4-under 67 at Overland Park, Kan., to win his third Nationwide Tour event this season, taking the Christmas in October Classic by two strokes.

Sim had only two bogeys all weekend and none in the final 45 holes to take home $112,500.

Sim, the Nationwide money leader, won promotion to the PGA Tour for the remainder of this season and next season, the ninth golfer on the Nationwide Tour to do so.

European Tour

England's Simon Dyson came from six shots back to win the KLM Open, beating Ireland's Peter Lawrie and Sweden's Peter Hedblom in a playoff.

After six birdies in his first 12 holes, Dyson matched a course record with a 7-under 63 and then birdied the first extra hole for his second title at the KLM Open in Zandvoort, Netherlands.

Lawrie was one ahead of Dyson with three to play until he bogeyed the 16th, while Hedblom lost his fourth career playoff by missing a 25-foot putt.
