Noren comes back from 7 shots down to win BMW PGA Championship

VIRGINIA WATER, ENGLAND » Alex Noren shot a 10-under 62 on Sunday for a two-stroke victory in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.

Seven strokes back entering the round, the Swede made six birdies and holed a 6-foot eagle putt on the No. 18 to complete what he described as “probably the best round of my life.”

It set the clubhouse target of 11-under 277, and Noren had to wait more than two hours to see if the lead would hold up in the European Tour’s signature event. The 62 established a course record on the revamped West Course, though Thomas Bjorn also shot a 62 in 2014.

No one got within a shot of him, with Henrik Stenson, Branden Grace, Shane Lowry and Hideto Tanihara among the chasers falling away as rain arrived late in the afternoon. Francesco Molinari was second after a 68, with Stenson (68), Tanihara (68) and Nicolas Colsaerts (65) another shot back.

DEAN & DELUCA INVITATIONAL

FORT WORTH, TEXAS » Kevin Kisner birdied the first three holes on the back nine to take the lead and held on to win at Colonial after defending champion Jordan Spieth’s Sunday charge.

Kisner shot a 4-under 66 to finish at 10-under 270, including a clutch par save on the 18th hole after a wayward tee shot and an approach that was off the back side of the green and well below the hole. He finished a stroke ahead of Spieth, Sean O’Hair and Jon Rahm.

Spieth shot a bogey-free 65, and was standing on a chair to see over the crowd at the 18th green when Kisner putted up the mound to 5 feet of the cup and then made the winning putt. That came right after Rahm’s 10-foot birdie chance skirted just to the left of the hole.
