- JOURNAL STAFF AND WIRES

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Rickie Fowler made it interestin­g Sunday for as long as it took him to make two big putts to pull away in the Honda Classic.

Staked to a four-shot lead, Fowler putted into a sprinkler hole, hit a tee shot into the water and watched a big lead shrink to one early on the back nine. He answered with consecutiv­e birdie putts of 40 and 25 feet and closed with a 1-over 71 for a four-shot victory.

LPGA: In Chonburi, Thailand, Amy Yang rarely wavered with a big lead during the final round of the Thailand LPGA tournament, shooting a 4-under 68 to win by five strokes Sunday.
