Swede success at Canadian Open

TORONTO - Carl Pettersson rallied to win the Canadian Open on Sunday for his fourth PGA Tour victory, closing with a 3-under-par 67 for a 1-stroke win over Dean Wilson.

Pettersson, who set a tournament record with a 10-under 60 in the third round, finished at 14-under 266 at hilly, tree-lined St. George's.

The 40-year-old Wilson, playing on a sponsor's exemption, shot a 72 after opening with three consecutive 65s to take a 4-stroke lead into the final day.

Six strokes behind Wilson after seven holes and 4 behind with seven to play, Pettersson made a 15-foot birdie putt on the par-3 13th to pull within 1, then took the lead with a 25-footer from the fringe on the 480-yard, par-4 14th.

Pettersson, the 32-year-old former North Carolina State player from Sweden, pulled away on the par-5 15th with his third straight birdie and fourth in five holes.

CARNOUSTIE, Scotland - Bernhard Langer won his first senior major title, holding off a final-round challenge from Corey Pavin for a 1-stroke win in the Senior British Open.

The German shot a 1-over-par 72 at Carnoustie to finish at 5-under 279. Pavin ended with a 1-under 70.

"I have always wanted to win the British Open," Langer said. "I didn't. Now this is the next best thing."

Pavin, the American Ryder Cup captain, trailed by 3 shots at the start of the fourth round but cut the gap to 2 when he birdied his second hole of the day.

Langer survived 3-putting both the eighth and ninth greens. After making birdie at 15, he parred his way to his 11th win in three years on the Champions Tour.

Pavin finished 3 strokes ahead of Americans Fred Funk, Jay Don Blake, and Russ Cochran, and Australian Peter Senior.

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France - Jiyai Shin of South Korea birdied the 18th hole to win the Evian Masters, shooting a 5-under 67 to finish at 14 under and 1 stroke ahead of Morgan Pressel, Na Yeon Choi, and Alexis Thompson.

Shin's fifth birdie in the final round at the Evian Masters Golf Club put her 1 stroke clear of overnight leader Pressel, whose putt to force a playoff then rolled agonizingly over the hole without dropping in.

The 22-year-old Shin became the first South Korean to win the event and earned $487,500. She has seven LPGA Tour victories in two years, having won her first in the British Open in 2008.

Shin held the No. 1 world ranking for seven weeks after Lorena Ochoa's retirement earlier this season.

Pressel (70), who started the final round 2 strokes clear, walked over and hugged Shin after missing her putt.

STOCKHOLM - Richard Johnson of Sweden won the Scandinavian Masters, making a 30-foot birdie putt at the last hole to shoot a 1-under 71 and finish a stroke clear of Rafa Echenique of Argentina.

Johnson, who had shared the overnight lead with South Korea's K.J. Choi, finished with a total of 11-under 277 at Stockholm's Bro Hof Slott.

"This is a huge tournament to win for a Swede," Johnson said. "I'm speechless right now; it's epic."
