Justin Rose took advantage of a record-tying collapse by Dustin Johnson and rallied from eight shots behind to win the HSBC Champions in Shanghai. Johnson, the world’s No. 1 player going for his third World Golf Championships title of the year, lost a six-shot lead. That matches the largest blown lead in the final round on the PGA Tour, most recently by Sergio Garcia at Quail Hollow in 2005 and Greg Norman in the 1996 Masters. Rose seized on the surprising opportunity with a 31 on the back nine, making birdies on the 16th and 17th holes and closing with a 5-under 67. He won for the first time since capturing

the gold medal at the Olympics last summer in Rio de Janeiro. It was his second World Golf Championships title.

Armour captures first

Ryan Armour shot a 4-under 68 to earn an impressive first career victory at the Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, Miss. Armour started Sunday’s final round with a five-shot lead and was never seriously challenged. The 41-yearold won for the first time in 105 career starts, finishing at 19-under for a five-shot victory over Chesson Hadley. Jonathan Randolph briefly made a charge with seven birdies over his first nine holes. That pushed him to 14 under, but Armour was able to maintain some separation thanks to three birdies on his first seven holes. Hadley shot a 68. Randolph was third after shooting a 67 and finishing at 12 under. Austin Cook (Jonesboro, Arkansas Razorbacks) tied for 25th at 5 under

($33,540) with Ethan Tracy (Razorbacks) a shot behind that ($27,305) Taylor Moore (Razorbacks) was even par and won $9,861, a stroke ahead of Andrew Landry (Razorbacks), who won $9,331 and was two strokes over Matt Atkins (Henderson State) ($8,994).

Kerr tops in Malaysia

Cristie Kerr holed a 35-foot birdie putt on the final hole Sunday for an even-par 71 and a one-shot victory in the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia. Kerr was in a four-way tie for the lead until her big putt made her the 27th player in tour history with 20 victories. She won by one shot over Danielle Kang, Shanshan Feng and Jacqui Concolino. Kerr, who won for the second time this year, finished at 15-under 269. Stacy Lewis (Arkansas Razorbacks) finished tied for fifth at 13 under and won $58,391, while Gaby Lopez (Razorbacks) tied for 19th at 7 under, good enough for $20,984.
