Steady Homa claims 4th PGA Tour victory

Max Homa played solid, steady golf during a week of cold, wet conditions and a back-and-forth Sunday duel with Keegan Bradley, closing with a 2-under 68 for a two-shot victory at the Wells Fargo Championship near Washington.

A new star on the PGA Tour whose only missing achievement is contention in a major, Homa, 31, finished at 8-under 272 at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm. He won for the fourth time and third time in 15 months.

“I just feel like I’m coming into my own. I’m starting to believe in myself a lot and that’s all I can ask for,” said Homa, whose next start will be in two weeks at the PGA Championship.

College football: Former Baylor QB Gerry Bohanon will transfer to South Florida. Bohanon, who has two seasons of eligibility remaining, will be favored to start next season for the Bulls. Bohanon was 10-2 as starter last season, leading the Bears to a Big 12 title and Sugar Bowl win.

NHL: Brad Marchand had two goals and three assists, including the tiebreaker early in the third period, and the host Bruins beat the Hurricanes 5-2 to even their first-round playoff series at 2-2. The Bruins were playing without their top two defenseman after Charlie McAvoy was a last-minute scratch and joined Hampus Lindholm on the sideline, but they twice rallied for their second straight playoff win. Patrice Bergeron had a goal and two assists, and David Pastrnak had one of each for the Bruins. Rookie Jeremy Swayman made 23 saves. Hurricanes goaltender Antti Raanta returned after exiting Game 2 with an injury and stopped 23 shots.

Soccer: Manchester City beat Newcastle 5-0 to three points clear of secondplace Liverpool in the Premier League race but will be without defenders Rúben Dias, Kyle Walker and John Stones for the final three matches of the season. Walker and Stone were already injured and Dias came off at halftime with a hamstring problem.
