1 PRO MEN’S GOLF: Austin Eckroat got the first victory of his PGA Tour career Monday, topping Erik van Rooyen and Min Woo Lee by three shots to win the weather-delayed Cognizant Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Among his prizes: $1.62 million, tour status for two years and a trip to the Masters for the first time. Eckroat shot a final round of 4-under 67, finishing at 17-under 267. He left PGA National on Sunday night when darkness stopped play with a one-stroke lead and was never caught. Eckroat, 25, was a star at Oklahoma State before turning pro.

2 PRO MEN’S TENNIS: Andrey Rublev will get to keep the ranking points and prize money — minus a fine of $36,400 — from the Dubai Championships, the ATP ruled, after he appealed the punishment of his default from the semifinals for yelling in the face of a line judge last week. The No. 5-ranked Rublev, from Russia, forfeited the match after his reaction to a point being awarded to Alexander Bublik at 6-5 in the third set Friday. When a player is defaulted from a match because of oncourt conduct, he relinquishes all money and rankings points earned in that event.

Arsenal beat MLS 5-0 in last year’s game at Washington, D.C.
