Tom Pernice Jr. holds off Jay Haas to win Charles Schwab Cup

Tom Pernice Jr. won the Champions Tour’s season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship on Sunday, beating Jay Haas with a birdie on the fourth hole of a playoff.

The 55-year-old Pernice got up-and-down from the left bunker on the par-5 18th, holing a 6-foot putt after Haas made a 12-footer for par.

Pernice closed with a 3-under 67 — also making a 6-foot birdie putt on 18 — to match Haas at 11-under 269 on Desert Mountain’s Cochise Course. The 6-year-old Haas had a 66.

Pernice earned $440,000 in the event limited to the top 30 on the money list. He also won a playoff in Iowa in June and has four career victories on the 50-and-over tour after winning twice on the PGA Tour.

Ryan Moore repeats at CIMB Classic champion

Ryan Moore successfully defended his CIMB Classic title, shooting a five-under 67 for a three-stroke win, beating fellow American Gary Woodland for the second consecutive year.

Moore finished on 17-under 271 at Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club in Malaysia to become the first player to defend a title on the PGA Tour since Tiger Woods at the Arnold Palmer Invitation in 2012 and 2013.

Sergio Garcia (69) and Kevin Na (70) shared a three-way tie for second with Woodland (67).

Moore had eight birdies against three bogeys in the final round, and earned his fourth PGA Tour title with superb approach shots at the 14th and 17th holes that led to birdies as well as some nerveless putting on the back nine.

“It was incredible to finish the way I did coming down those last few holes,” Moore said. “I like to tell myself all the time that `I am a closer. Let’s just do what we can, hit good shots and let’s close this thing’ and I was able to do that.”

Inbee Park wins LPGA Taiwan Championship

Six days after taking the No. 1 spot in the world from Stacy Lewis, Inbee Park was a notch above the American again at Miramar.

Park won the LPGA Taiwan Championship for her third victory of the year and 12th tour title, holding off Lewis by two strokes.

The 26-year-old South Korean player closed with a 1-under 71 in light rain to finish at 22-under 266. The victory capped a hectic Asian trip centered around her marriage last month to swing coach Gi Hyeob-nam.

“I think this will be my wedding gift for myself,” Park said. “It’s a good feeling and maybe people who said, `She’s not going to play as well as when she was not married.’ I think we can put that wrong.”

Park shot 64-62-69 to take a four-stroke lead over Lewis and China’s Shanshan Feng into the final round.

Marcel Siem prevails in playoff at BMW Masters

Marcel Siem of Germany missed an easy putt to win the BMW Masters in regulation. He atoned for that by chipping in for birdie to win a sudden-death playoff against Alexander Levy of France and Ross Fisher of England.

Siem rallied from a five-shot deficit on a wind-whipped afternoon at Lake Malaren. He was the only player who failed to hit the 18th green in the playoff, and then thrilled the Chinese gallery with a chip from the collar that curled in the right side of the cup.

Even with a bogey-bogey finish in regulation to close with a 1-over 73, the fourth victory of Siem’s career sends him to the World Golf Championship next week in Shanghai.

Levy couldn’t handle the wind and faster greens and closed with a 78. He was fortunate to even get into the playoff. His approach to the 18th in regulation crossed over the hazard line and stopped a foot away from going into the lake. He chipped to the other side of the green and had to make a 5-foot putt for bogey.
