Golf roundup: Ryan Moore’s 67 gives him a two-shot win at John Deere Classic

Ryan Moore won the John Deere Classic for his fifth PGA Tour title, closing with a four-under-par 67 for a two-stroke victory over Ben Martin.

The 33-year-old Moore finished at 22-under 262 at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Ill., playing the final 46 holes without a bogey and making only one in 72 holes. He won for the first time since successfully defending his CIMB Classic title in Malaysia in 2014.

Martin had three consecutive back-nine birdies in a 68.

South Korea’s Whee Kim shot 67 to tie for third with Morgan Hoffmann (71) at 17 under.

Moore birdied Nos. 2, 4, 9 and 10 and closed with eight pars. He had a five-stroke lead when Hoffmann bogeyed the 12th hole. Martin, playing with Moore in the final twosome, birdied Nos. 12-14, but couldn’t get closer than two strokes. Martin parred his last four holes, and Hoffmann his final six.

Moore hit 13 of 14 fairways in the final round and 14 of 18 greens in regulation, including the 18th, which he two-putted from 47 feet for the victory. He opened with three straight 65s in the event thrown off schedule by rain Thursday and Friday.

Jordan Spieth chose not to defend his title because he didn’t think it would be appropriate in light of his decision to skip the Rio Olympics.

Final round of U.S. Senior Open postponed

The final round of the U.S. Senior Open was postponed because of heavy rain, giving Miguel Angel Jimenez another night to sleep on the third-round lead.

The course at the Scioto Country Club in Upper Arlington, Ohio, absorbed 2.36 inches of rain late Saturday and Sunday, leading to the decision late Sunday afternoon. The USGA had hoped to get at least the first groups through during a break in the rain on Sunday, but the course was too wet to play.

Rain was forecast for Monday, too. The first groups are scheduled to off at 7:30 a.m.

Jimenez is at three-under 207 on Jack Nicklaus’ boyhood course, a stroke ahead of Gene Sauers, and in position to win after blowing leads in his last two tournaments.
