Flanagan wins in New York

Shalane Flanagan dethroned Mary Keitany on Sunday and became the first American woman to win the New York City Marathon since 1977, potentially ending her decorated career with her first major marathon victory.

Keitany had won three straight New York marathons, but Flanagan pulled away from the Kenyan great with about three miles to go. Flanagan finished in 2 hours 26 minutes 53 seconds, about a minute faster than Keitany.

The American cried and yelled as she approached the finish line all alone.

“It’s indescribable,” the 36-year-old Flanagan said. “It’s a moment I’m trying to soak up and savor.”

The last American woman to win New York was Miki Gorman, who took consecutive titles in 1976’77.

Geoffrey Kamworor of Kenya won the men’s race, holding off countryman Wilson Kipsang by 3 seconds for his first major victory.

Goaltender Kristen Campbell finished with 14 saves for the Badgers (14-0-0, 8-0-0-0 WCHA). Griffins 2, Admirals 1: Tyler Bertuzzi’s powerplay goal with 6 minutes, 11 seconds to go gave host Grand Rapids a victory over Milwaukee.

Predators make a deal: The Nashville Predators acquired forward Kyle Turris from the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for defenseman Samuel Girard, Milwaukee Admirals forward Vladislav Kamenev and a second-round pick in the 2018 draft.

GOLF

Patrick Cantlay won the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in a playoff for the first victory in a PGA Tour career mostly derailed by a severe back injury.

The 25-year-old former UCLA star hit from behind a tree and got up-and-down for par from off the back of the 18th green to beat Alex Cejka and

Whee Kim on the second extra hole in Las Vegas. Cantlay bogeyed the final two holes of regulation for a 5-under 67 to get in at 9-under 275.

Cejka birdied the 18th with an 18-footer for 63 more than two hours before Cantlay and Whee — who bogeyed 18 for a 66 — finished the round.

LPGA Tour: Shanshan Feng fired a 4-under 68 to win the Japan Classic by two strokes.

Feng recovered from two bogeys on the first three holes with six birdies to finish at 19-under 197, two shots ahead of Japan’s Ai Suzuki, who also shot a 68 at the event in Ibaraki.

Anna Nordqvist had a hole-in-one on the par-3 third hole and added five birdies against a lone bogey for a 66 to finish in third place at 15-under 201.
