The Greenbrier Classic

VICTORIAN PGA Tour of Australasia member Stuart Appleby became the fifth person in US PGA Tour history to shoot 59, on his way to claiming his ninth US PGA Tour career title at the Greenbrier Classic.

Appleby came out firing on the final day in West Virginia shooting 11-under to jump seven spots up the leaderboard to take the win from third-round leader American Jeff Overton, who finished a shot behind Appleby in outright second. On his way to claiming the title Appleby shot nine birdies and one eagle to take the top spot. Throughout the four days Appleby’s scorecard showed only one blemish – his sole bogey of the tournament coming on the par- 3 15th during the second round.

The PGA Championship

MARTIN Kaymer won his maiden major title in a dramatic three-hole playoff against Bubba Watson at the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin.

Kaymer follows Northern Ireland’s Graeme McDowell and South Africa’s Louis Oosthuizen as the third player this year to win their first major.

Australian Steve Elkington wasn’t far away from becoming golf’s second-oldest major winner when he finished equal fifth, just two strokes behind Kaymer.

Steve Elkington - 9 (T5), Jason Day - 7 (T10), Adam Scott E (T39), Marc Leishman +1 (T48), Stuart Appleby + 7 (T68)

AMERICAN Jeff Overton might have shot a final
round of 79 at Whistling Straits to finish last, but
he broke a 19-year-old record in doing so. After
Ian Poulter’s withdrawal due to illness, Overton
was forced to play alone in the first grouping.
Overton teed off at 8:02 and at 10: 10 his final putt
dropped. His time of 2hr 8min for 18 holes in a PGA
championship was the fastest since Phil Blackmar
took 2hr 10min in 1991 at Crooked Stick Golf Club.
Overton was intentionally trying for the record,
running between shots, much to the annoyance
of his caddie and his group scoring officials.;
