Henderson eagle wins Shoprite Classic in playoff

Brooke Henderson eagled the first playoff hole and beat Lindsey Weaver-wright to capture the Shoprite LPGA Classic on Sunday for her 11th win on tour.

Henderson shot a bogey-free, final-round 7-under 64 at Seaview Hotel and Golf Club to win for the first time in a year. The 24-yearold Canadian rallied from a four-shot deficit entering the final round of the 54-hole tournament to finish at 12-under 201.

Weaver-wright, a 28-yearold American still looking for her first tour win, forced the playoff with birdies on four of the last six holes.

The playoff started at the reachable par-5 No. 18, and both found the fairway. Henderson got within 10 feet of the cup with her second shot while Weaver-wright was short of the green. Her third shot landed around the same distance from the hole as Henderson, but she was away. She missed her birdie putt and Henderson had no pressure making the eagle to win to pocket US$262,500.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homered, Ross Stripling pitched one-hit ball for six innings and the Toronto Blue Jays went on to beat the Detroit Tigers 6-0 on Sunday.

The Blue Jays took two of three from Detroit, giving them 13 victories in 17 games. Toronto has the third-best record in the American League, trailing the East-leading New York Yankees in its division and West-leading Houston.

Just two teams in the league, meanwhile, have won fewer games than Detroit this season.

Stripling (3-1) allowed only one hit for the second straight start and struck out four without a walk.

Mo Donegal won and filly Nest was second, giving trainer Todd Pletcher a 1-2 finish at the Belmont Stakes on Saturday for his sixth victory in a Triple Crown race. Donegal rounded the 11/2-mile track in 2 minutes, 28.28 seconds, ahead of Nest and Skippylongstocking.
