Jim Herman delivered a masterful performanc­e at just the right time Sunday in the Shell Houston Open. Herman, winless in 105 previous starts on the PGA Tour, shot a 4-under 68 for a one-shot victory over Henrik Stenson. Graham DeLaet was the top Canadian, finishing tied for 27th. The Weyburn, Sask., native shot a 5-under 283 for the tournament. Abbotsford’s Nick Taylor and David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., tied for 46th at 2 under. At Rancho Mirage, Calif., Lydia Ko won her second consecutiv­e major title in a dramatic ending to the ANA Inspiratio­n. Ko birdied the 18th hole to finish at 12-under for a round of 69. Thailand’s Ariya Jutanugarn held a two-shot lead late before bogeys at 16 and 17 opened the door for the New Zealander. Canada’s Brooke Henderson finished tied for 10th, five shots back of Ko.
