LAS VEGAS – Sungjae Im turned a shootout into a one-man show Sunday in Las Vegas, running the tables with seven birdies in eight holes around the turn for a 9-under 62 and a four-shot victory in the Shriners Children’s Open.

Im was among four players who had at least a share of the lead on the front nine of the TPC Summerlin on an ideal day of scoring with little wind.

LPGA

WEST CALDWELL, N.J. – Jin Young Ko finished off a wire-to-wire victory with a 66 in the Cognizant Founders Cup with her 14th consecutiv­e round in the 60s that matched a 16-year record held by Annika Sorenstam.

It was Ko’s 14th consecutiv­e round in the 60s dating to a 69 in the final round of the Evian Championsh­ip. That ties the mark Sorenstam set in the middle of her 10-win season in 2005.

Champions Tour

JACKSONVIL­LE, Fla. – Phil Mickelson won for the third time in four career PGA Tour Champions starts, closing with a 4-under 68 for a two-shot victory in the Constellat­ion Furyk & Friends.

The 51-year-old Mickelson won for the first time since his out-of-nowhere triumph at the PGA Championsh­ip at Kiawah Island in May for his sixth career major title. He has struggled on the PGA Tour since then, and this was his first Champions event since February.

European Tour

MADRID – With Jon Rahm out of contention, Rafa Cabrera Bello prevailed in a Spanish duel with Adri Arnaus on the first playoff hole to win the Spanish Open.

Cabrera Bello shot a 2-under 69 in the final round to finish tied at 19 under par for the tournament with Arnaus, who closed with a 4-under 67 and fell just short of his first European Tour victory.
