NA’S PUTTER HOT IN FINAL ROUND

Kevin Na halts a winless streak of nearly seven years on the PGA Tour with six birdies of his first 10 holes on his way to the win at The Greenbrier at Old White TPC.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — Kevin Na rode a hot putter to halt a winless streak of nearly seven years on the PGA Tour.

Na shot a 6-under-64 for a five-stroke victory at A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier on Sunday.

The 34-year-old Na’s only previous tour win came in Las Vegas, Nev., in October 2011.

“I wasn’t sure if it was going to come again. I was hoping it would — sooner than later,” Na said. “I’ve been close so many times, failed so many times.”

Starting the final round one stroke behind Harold Varner and Kelly Kraft, Na birdied six of his first 10 holes to open a big lead on the Old White TPC, and he cruised from there. The only blemish on his card was a bogey on the par-4 11th after driving into the rough.

Na finished at 19-under 261 and picked up the $1.31 million winner’s paycheck.

“My putter got hot,” Na said. “The first day the putter felt awful, and (then) it just clicked. Every time I got over the ball it felt great, and everything felt like it was going in.”

Kraft shot 70 and finished second at 14 under. Brandt Snedeker (64) and Jason Kokrak (67) tied for third at 13 under. Each earned a place in the British Open as the leading four players from the top 12 not already eligible.

LPGA: In Oneida, Wis., Sei Young Kim became the first player in LPGA Tour history to go lower than 30 under in a performance so dominant in the Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic that she now has the tour scoring records all to herself.

Kim closed with a 7-under 65 on Sunday for a nineshot victory, finishing at 31 under par. That broke by four shots to par the record Kim had shared with Annika Sorenstam.

Kim also set the 72-hole scoring record at 257, finishing with a par to break the mark by one shot.

The only blemish for Kim all week was a double bogey in the second round Friday. She had 31 birdies and one eagle, and hit 67 out of 72 greens in regulation.

EUROPEAN TOUR: In Donegal, Ireland, Russell Knox of Scotland holed nearly identical putts of 40 feet on the 18th hole, first to get into a playoff, and then to beat Ryan Fox and win the Irish Open for his first European Tour victory.
