Golf Roundup : Green Wins Second Straight by 6

Ken Green won his second straight PGA tournament Sunday, shooting a 4-under-par 68 to win the $700,000 Greater Milwaukee Open by six strokes.

Green, who took control Saturday with a course-record 11-under-par 61, finished at 20-under-par 268 on the 7,030-yard Tuckaway Country Club course. Mark Calcavecchia, Jim Gallagher Jr., Donnie Hammond and Dan Pohl finished tied for second, six strokes back at 274.

Green, of Molokai, Hawaii, won last week’s Canadian Open for his third career PGA title. He joined Sandy Lyle as back-to-back winners this year. Lyle won the Greater Greensboro Open and Masters on consecutive weekends. Ironically, Green lost the Greensboro title to Lyle in a playoff.

Gallagher, a non-exempt player who got into the tournament by winning a playoff in Monday qualifying, had a final day 68. Hammond shot a 69 and Pohl and Calcavecchia both shot 66.

Dave Barr, a co-leader the first two rounds, staggered to a 75 and finished nine shots back of Green. Going into the final round he had trailed Green by two strokes at 202.

Betsy King birdied three straight holes on the back nine, then sank a par putt on the 18th hole for her second straight LPGA victory, a one-shot win over Colleen Walker in the $250,000 Ping Golf Championship at Portland, Ore.

King, the leader after two rounds, overcame three bogeys on the front nine to match par 72 on the 6,285-yard Riverside Golf and Country Club course for a 54-hole total of 3-under-par 213.

The victory, worth $37,500, was her third of the year and 14th in her LPGA career. She won the Rail Classic last weekend and the Women’s Kemper Open in March.

Local favorite Susan Sanders, playing just up the road from her home in Salem, finished in a tie for third with Myra Blackwelder at 215.

Sandra Haynie, who joined the tour in 1961, finished at 218, earning $4,421 to become the 16th player in LPGA history to pass the $1 million mark. Haynie has earned $1,002,075.

Ian Woosnam of Wales shot a 5-under-par 65 on the final round to win the European Open at Sunningdale, England with a record total of 20-under-par 260.

Three strokes back at 263 was Nick Faldo of England. Woosnam earned $85,000, Faldo $56,000.

Sandy Lyle of Scotland closed with a 65 to finish in a three-way tie with Mark James of England and Jose-Maria Olazabal of Spain in third place at 266, winning $26,350 each.

The United States, led by Carol Thompson and Pearl Sinn, held off Sweden by one shot to win the women’s World Amateur Golf Team Championship at Stockholm, Sweden.

Sinn, at 21 the youngest member of the American team that also featured 51-year-old Anne Sander, clinched the win hard-earned par on the 18th hole. The Arizona State senior from Bellflower had to hit her second shot between several trees after driving to the left of the fairway.

Thompson, of Sewickley, Pa., finished with a 72. Sinn shot a 76 and Sander an 80. The United States had a 72-hole total of 587.
