Pat Perez shoots final-round 67 to win PGA Tour’s OHL Classic

Pat Perez won the OHL Classic at Mayakoba on Sunday in his third start since returning from shoulder surgery.

Perez closed with a four-under-par 67 for a two-stroke victory over third-round leader Gary Woodland on the Greg Norman-designed El Camaleon course. Perez finished at 21-under 263.

“I had an attitude that I can’t really repeat, but I had a lot of thoughts going on,” Perez said. “The main one was I wanted to stay aggressive. I knew if I just stayed aggressive I was seeing the line great on the putting green. This type of grass and these greens, if you can get it on line you can make them.

“I just saw the line, I thought I could make them all and I just had a confidence. I had an entirely different attitude than I would have had a few years ago. It was definitely a different win than last time. Last time, I was a little more scared coming down the stretch. I didn’t really believe and this and that. This time, I really had like this calmness, kind of like a madness to get it done.”

Perez, who also won the 2009 Bob Hope Classic, shot a 62 on Saturday to pull within a stroke of Woodland. The 40-year-old former Arizona State player birdied five of the first eight holes and had a bogey on the par-four 12th.

Woodland birdied the final two holes for a 70. Russell Knox was third at 18 under after a 66. Chez Reavie (67), Kevin Streelman (65) and Scott Piercy (70) were at 17 under.

Ciganda captures Ochoa Invitational

Carlota Ciganda rallied to win the Citibanamex Lorena Ochoa Invitational on Sunday for her second LPGA Tour victory in four starts.

The 26-year-old Spaniard shot a four-under 68 at Club de Golf Mexico for a two-stroke victory over six players. She played the four par-five holes in five under, making an eagle on No. 2 and birdies on 6, 11 and 17.

Ciganda won the LPGA KEB-Hana Bank Championship a month ago in South Korea for her first tour title. The former Arizona State player has five straight top-10 finishes.

Ciganda won a year after finishing second Inbee Park on the tree-lined course.

Third-round leader Austin Ernst had a 71 to drop into a tie for second with 2008 winner Angela Stanford (69), Jodi Ewart Shadoff (67), Karine Icher (69) and Sarah Jane Smith (70).

Mexican amateur Maria Fassi closed with a 73 to tie for 15th at five under. She’s a freshman at the University of Arkansas. Gaby Lopez also was five under after a 73 on her home course.

Canada’s Brooke Henderson, the highest-ranked player in the field at No. 7, was 20th at four under after a 71. Michelle Wie (72) was 24th at one under after a 72. The 2009 winner in Guadalajara, she played on a sponsor invite after failing to qualify for the 30-player event.

Langer clinches Champions Tour season title

Paul Goydos and Bernhard Langer got the big trophies and checks Sunday in the PGA Tour Champions’ season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship.

Goydos completed a wire-to-wire victory in the tournament, and Langer finished second to win his third straight season points title and fourth overall.

Goydos shot a four-under 66 to finish at 15-under 195 on Desert Mountain’s Cochise Course. He opened with a 62 in windy conditions and shot a 67 on Saturday to take a two-stroke lead in the final round.

Langer had a 64. Recovering from a left knee injury that forced him to withdraw from the playoff opener at Sherwood, the 59-year-old German star won the $1 million annuity as the Charles Schwab Cup season champion and also topped the tour with four victories and $3,016,959.

Colin Montgomerie had a 68 to finish third at 11 under. Woody Austin (64) and 62-year-old Jay Haas (68) tied for fourth at seven under.

Noren wins in South Africa

Alex Noren won the Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa on Sunday, finishing with a sublime 63 for a six-shot victory and his fourth title of a remarkable season on the European Tour.

Noren was nine-under through the first 11 holes of his final round at Sun City and came from six shots behind overnight leader Jeunghun Wang to win with ease on 14 under par.

Wang was second oat eight under after four bogeys in his last six holes saw him slip to a three-over 75 on the last day. The triumph will move Noren up to third on the tour’s Race to Dubai money list, giving him a chance to be crowned Europe’s No. 1 golfer at the season-ending World Tour Championship in Dubai next weekend.
