CROMWELL, Conn. - Chez Reavie is a PGA Tour winner again after 11 years and 250 events.
Reavie won the Travelers Championship on Sunday, closing with a 1-under-par 69 for a four-stroke victory over Keegan Bradley and Zack Sucher.
The 37-year-old Reavie, whose first title came as a rookie at the 2008 Canadian Open, finished at 17-under 263 at TPC River Highlands a week after tying for third in the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach Golf Links.
"It means everything," he said. "I went through some injuries, had some long years there in the middle. But it was great, because it gave good perseverance and good perspective of what life is and what golf is."
The former Arizona State player took a six-stroke lead over Bradley and Sucher into the final round after a shooting a 63 on Saturday. He had an understated celebration, pulling his ball out of the hole at 18 and saluting the crowd with it clenched in his fist.
It was the same calm he showed throughout the day, even as Bradley chipped away at Reavie's advantage.
Bradley made back-to-back birdies on 10 and 11 to get within three shots, just missed a 13-foot birdie putt on the 12th, then made a nine-footer on 13 to get within two strokes. His 22 foot-birdie attempt at 14 stopped just at the hole, and he got within a stroke on the par-4 15th when he made a 7 1/2-foot birdie putt after Reavie missed an 11-footer.
Reavie put the tournament away on the par-4 17th, making a 14-foot birdie putt, while Bradley three-putted for a double bogey. Bradley and Sucher each closed with a 67, with Sucher playing the back nine in 5-under 30 for his best finish in a PGA Tour event.
Vaughn Taylor (65) was fourth at 12 under, a stroke ahead of Paul Casey (65), Joaquin Niemann (66) and Kevin Tway (67).
Chattanooga's Stephan Jaeger closed with a 67. The former Baylor School and University of Tennessee at Chattanooga standout from Germany moved up 21 spots from the third round, tying for 30th at 5 under.
LPGA: Major breakthrough for Hannah Green
CHASKA, Minn. - Hannah Green never felt more nervous than she did standing over a five-foot par putt at Hazeltine National Golf Club with a chance to win her first major championship.
Neither did Karrie Webb, who won seven majors in her World Golf Hall of Fame career.
Webb watched from outside the ropes, her heart racing. It was 11 years ago in Minnesota that Webb started a scholarship program to bring young Australian amateurs to majors to spend a week with her and experience golf's biggest events. Four years ago, Green was one of those scholarship winners.
Now she's a major champion.
Green held her nerve to the end, hitting an 8-iron shot to 15 feet from the hole for a pivotal birdie on the 16th, then getting up and down from a bunker on the 18th to close with a par round of 72 and win the KPMG Women's PGA Championship by one stroke over South Korea's Sung Hyun Park, who was trying to repeat as its winner.
"I can't believe I'm in this position right now," said the 22-year-old Green, who's in her second year on the LPGA Tour and became the first wire-to-wire winner of this tourney since Yani Tseng in 2011. "I've always wanted to win an event, and to win a major championship as my first is crazy."
She started the final round with a one-shot lead over Ariya Jutanugarn, the most powerful player on tour and a two-time major champion. Jutanugarn didn't make a birdie in her round of 77 and wound up tied for 10th.
However, Park - another former women's world No. 1 and two-time major winner - made an 18-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 68 that left Green no margin for error.
Watching it all unfold was Webb, the only woman to capture the "Super Slam" of five different LPGA majors. She stayed with Green in a house all week, along with the two most recent scholarship winners - Becky Kay and Grace Kim - who were draped in Australian flags at Hazeltine.
"I feel like I won a golf tournament today I'm so excited for her," the 44-year-old Webb said. "You didn't do it yourself, but you supported someone who realized that dream."
Green became the first Australian to win an LPGA Tour major since Webb won her last one in 2006 at the Kraft Nabisco Championship. She finished at 9-under 279 and won $577,500.
The United States' Nelly Korda (71) and England's Mel Reid (66) tied for third at 6 under.
PGA Tour Champions: Hometown winner
MADISON, Wis. - Jerry Kelly won his hometown PGA Tour Champions event for the first time by beating Retief Goosen with a birdie on the third hole of a playoff in the American Family Insurance Championship.
Kelly closed with a 6-under 66 at rainy University Ridge Golf Course to match Goosen (66) and tournament host Steve Stricker (67) at 15-under 201.
Stricker, who's also from Madison, was eliminated with a bogey on the first extra hole. He missed an eight-foot birdie putt on the par-4 18th in regulation.
Kelly won on the par-4 15th after the playoff opened with two trips down the 18th. Kelly now has four victories on the 50-and-older tour after winning three times on the PGA Tour.
"It really is truly awesome," Kelly said. "It's about friends and family and to be able to do it in front of everybody this is pretty sweet."
Duffy Waldorf closed with a 68 to finish a stroke out of the playoff, and John Daly (66) and Kevin Sutherland (63) tied for fifth at 13 under.
Ooltewah's Gibby Gilbert III, who was tied for ninth after an opening 68 but shot a 75 in the second round, closed with a 70 and tied for 42nd at 3 under.
Hall of Fame pitcher John Smoltz tied for 76th in the 78-man field at 12 over, with the former Atlanta Braves right-hander shooting rounds of 76, 78 and 74 while playing on a sponsor's exemption.
European Tour: Andrea Pavan wins playoff
MUNICH - Andrea Pavan defeated Matthew Fitzpatrick in a playoff to win the BMW International Open.
The 30-year-old Italian carded a bogey-free 6-under 66 in the final round to finish at 15-under 273 overall, as did Fitzpatrick (69) after a bogey on the 17th hole. The 24-year-old Englishman birdied the final hole of regulation at Golfclub Munchen Eichenried to force the playoff.
Both Fitzpatrick and Pavan made par on the first playoff hole, No. 18. Pavan, who entered the final round four shots off the lead, sealed his second European Tour title with a birdie the second time around.
Matthias Schwab led by two shots with seven holes to play but finished with a share of third after bogeys on Nos. 14 and 15 helped lead to a 71. Also third were Christiaan Bezuidenhout (70), Rafa Cabrera Bello (66), Edoardo Molinari (67), Alvaro Quiros (66), 54-hole leader Jordan Smith (72) and 2018 tournament winner Matt Wallace (70).
