Kim wins while watching

Hyo Joo Kim shot a final-round 8-under 64 and then watched from the comfort of the clubhouse as Hannah Green bogeyed her final two holes to hand Kim a one-stroke victory Sunday in the LPGA's HSBC Women's World Championship in Singapore. Kim sat in the dining room at Sentosa Golf Club and munched on some late afternoon snacks while watching Green take a one-stroke lead to the 17th. But Green three-putted the par-3 hole to leave Kim tied for the lead. Then the Australian bogeyed the 18th after she missed the green and a comeback putt for par after a poor chip. Kim finished with a 72-hole total of 17-under 271. It was Kim's fourth LPGA title, including a major at the 2014 Evian Championship, and her first LPGA Tour win in five years. Green's 69 left her in second place. Former University of Arkansas golfer Gaby Lopez finished in a tie for seventh. Lopez shot a 73 on Sunday and finished at 11-under 277.

Barjon survives 3-way playoff

Paul Barjon of France birdied the 17th hole and closed with a 1-under 69, and then won a three-way playoff with an eagle on the third extra hole to capture his first Korn Ferry Tour title at the Huntsville (Ala.) Championship. Barjon has won three times on the Mackenzie Tour in Canada. The victory Sunday over Billy Kennerly and Mito Pereira moved him to No. 6 on the points list and all but assures him of a PGA Tour card next season. Former University of Arkansas golfer Taylor Moore turned in a 65 on Sunday and wound up in a tie for 11th with a 9-under 271. Tag Ridings (Razorbacks) shot a 68 on Sunday and finished at 3-under 277.

Burmester wins in Spain

Dean Burmester ended a four-year winless streak in style with a five-stroke victory at the Tenerife Open on Sunday in Tenerife, Spain. The South African closed with a bogey-free 9-under 62 that left him at 25 under for the tournament and secured his first victory since the Tshwane Open in 2017. The 31-year-old Burmester said it had been "four years of struggle, of hard work." Germany's Nicolai von Dellingshausen (68) was second. Former University of Central Arkansas golfer Pep Angles shot a 71 on Sunday and finished at 11-under 273.
