Two in a row for Kaymer
LUSS, Scotland — Martin Kaymer won for the second week in a row, closing with a 2-under 69 in the rain and sunshine at Loch Lomond on Sunday for a two-shot victory in the Scottish Open.
The 24-year-old German became the first player since Ian Woosnam in 1990 to win the two European Tour events before the British Open, which starts Thursday at Turnberry.
A week after winning the French Open in a playoff, Kaymer broke free from a three-way tie on the front nine, then kept his mistakes to a minimum.
Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano, who held a one-shot lead going into the final round, didn’t make a birdie until the 14th hole, and by then he already was three shots behind.
He closed with a 72 and tied for second with Raphael Jacquelin, who birdied two of his last three holes for a 66.
Win vaults Tambellini
CLARKSBURG, Ont. — Roger Tambellini shot a 2-under 69 Sunday to win the Nationwide Tour’s Wayne Gretzky Classic by four shots over Blake Adams.
Tambellini finished a tournament-record 20 under at 265, overcoming a double bogey on the sixth hole with six birdies in the final round on the Georgian Bay Club course.
Adams shot a 69 and Craig Barlow’s 66 left him third, at 15-under.
“It all came together for me this week,” Tambellini said. D.J. Brigman (65), Chris Anderson (69) and Garth Mulroy (73) were tied at 14-under 271.
Tambellini pocketed a career-best $144,018, jumping from 17th to third on the money list.
The top 25 at season end earn PGA Tour cards for 2010.
Eagle on 18th lifts Langer
BLAINE, Minn. — One of the best putters on tour, Bernhard Langer won the 3M Championship with his sand wedge.
Langer chipped in for eagle on the 18th hole Sunday to earn his second straight win on the Champions Tour, and fourth of the year.
His 7-under 65 gave him a 16-under 200, one shot better than Andy Bean.
Standing just off the back fringe, Langer softly chipped the ball on the edge of the green and watched it roll about 10 feet into the hole. Langer turned and pointed to the crowd with both arms raised when the ball dropped in the hole.
Bean has three second-place finishes this year — twice when Langer won.
