A day of comebacks at Match Play

The format is fickle enough even before that notorious Texas wind arrived. Kevin Kisner, Mackenzie Hughes and even Sergio Garcia showed how quickly fortunes can change Thursday in the Dell Technologies Match Play in Austin, Texas.

Kisner added to his record of most matches won since the move to Austin Country Club in 2016 when he poured in three birdies over the last four holes and rallied from 2 down on the back nine to beat Luke List 4-and-3 on the final hole.

Hughes was in a similar predicament against Cal's Max Homa, until he won four straight holes along the back — twice helped by Homa mistakes — and held on for a 2-up win to keep his hopes alive of advancing to the weekend.

They were among five players who trailed by at least 2 holes on the back nine and rallied to win, joining Lucas Herbert over Xander Schauffele, Takumi Kanaya over Tony Finau and Min Woo Lee over Thomas Pieters. Bubba Watson was 1 down with two holes to play when he made a 35-foot birdie on the par-3 17th and won the 18th with a par to beat Webb Simpson.

Not to be overlooked was Garcia. He was 3 down against British Open champion Collin Morikawa from Cal with five holes left. He won the next three holes with birdies and matched pars with Morikawa to earn a halve. MARTIN LEADS CORALES PUNTACANA CHAMPIONSHIP >> Ben Martin birdied six of the last eight holes for a 6-under 66 and the first-round lead in the PGA Tour's windy Corales Puntacana Championship in the Dominican Republic.

Adam Schenk was a stroke back after a bogey-free round at Corales Golf Course.

MARINERS BOLSTER BULLPEN, SIGN

SERGIO ROMO >> The Seattle Mariners bolstered their bullpen by signing former A's and Giants relief pitcher Sergio Romo to a one-year contract.

The deal was finalized following a physical and is for $2 million.

Romo, 39, spent last season with Oakland, the sixth different team in his career. Romo had his greatest success during his nine seasons with San Francisco. Romo has also pitched for Tampa Bay, the Los Angeles Dodgers, Miami and Minnesota.

BLUE JAYS TRADE GRICHUK FOR ROCKIES' TAPIA >> The Toronto Blue Jays traded outfielder Randal Grichuk and just over $9.7 million to the Colorado Rockies for outfielder Raimel Tapia and minor league infielder Adrian Pinto.

The 29-year-old Grichuk hit .241 with 22 homers and 81 RBIs in 149 games last season. The cash will offset a little more than half the $18.7 million Grichuk is owed over the final two seasons of his $52 million, five-year contract.
