Bryan wins Heritage in home state S.C.

-

WESLEY BRYAN rallied to win his homestate RBC Heritage for his first PGA Tour title, closing with a 4-under 67 on Sunday for a one-stroke victory over Luke Donald.

Bryan, a South Carolina native who played college golf for the Gamecocks, was four shots behind entering the day and moved into contention with four consecutiv­e birdies on the front nine. He took the lead with a birdie on the 15th hole and finished at 13-under 271.

Donald shot 68 in his latest close call at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head — it was his fifth second-place finish here since 2009.

The 27-year-old Bryan tapped in for par on the closing, 18th lighthouse hole to make the former trick-shot artist the first South Carolinian to win the state’s lone PGA Tour event.

MAN U BEATS CHELSEA

Ander Herrera scored one goal, set up another and executed the perfect manmarking job on Eden Hazard to set up Manchester United’s 2-0 win over Chelsea that opened up the English Premier League title race.

United didn’t even need rested top scorer Zlatan Ibrahimovi­c to consign the leaders to their fifth league loss of the season, which left them only four points ahead of Tottenham with six games left.

Marcus Rashford — Ibrahimovi­c’s 19-year-old replacemen­t up front — ran onto Herrera’s through-ball to give United a seventh-minute lead. A constant menace for Chelsea’s defense with his mobility and direct approach, Rashford ensured Ibrahimovi­c wasn’t missed at Old Trafford.

VETTEL WINS BAHRAIN

Sebastian Vettel held off a tremendous late charge from Mercedes rival Lewis Hamilton to win the Bahrain Grand Prix and take the overall lead in the Formula One title race.

Hamilton was catching Vettel on every lap but ultimately ran out of time and finished about seven seconds behind.

Vettel and Hamilton were level with a win each heading into this race, but Vettel’s second victory of the season and 44th of his career puts him in command. Ferrari driver
