There was no getting away from the turn-back-the-clock feel to Lee Westwood’s performance at the Nedbank Golf Challenge. Facts are facts, and the Englishman with the dry-wit and the gray stubble had not been victorious on the European Tour since April 2014, or anywhere for that matter since April 2015. The former World No. 1 had contended a time or three in the meanwhile, but at 45, now ranked 119th in the world and having seen his status in the game fall from name brand to also ran, most observers—including Westwood himself—couldn’t help but wonder if he had essentially reached the end of the road.

Lee Westwood wiped away the tears after rolling back the years yesterday. The former world No 1 shot a brilliant 64 to lift the Nedbank Challenge in Sun City, his first win in 3½ years. Not only was the European Tour event part of the elite Rolex Series, boasting a near £1 million first prize, but ­Westwood had to battle off two ­major winners to prevail at the Gary Player Country Club.

Bernhard Langer celebrated his fifth Charles Schwab Cup with his wife and friends, a glass of red wine in his hand. Both walked away winners Sunday when Singh produced the best round of his PGA Tour Champions career, a 10-under 61 that turned a six-shot deficit into a four-shot victory in the Charles Schwab Cup Championship and allowed Langer to claim another $1 million bonus for the season title.

Doc Giffin, who for 50 years served as assistant to the late Arnold Palmer, enjoys pointing out one of the great coincidences that tied together the two men long before they ever met. “It was all probably meant to be,” Giffin was saying Friday night at Latrobe Country Club, the place where Palmer learned the game and grew to love it and then, eventually, to rule it. “Arnold turned pro on November 18, 1954.

It got way more nervy than he may have hoped for, but that won't matter when Matt Kuchar back on his final round of the 2018 Mayakoba Golf Classic, which ended with him holing the winning putt. The victory is the eighth of his PGA Tour career, and it snaps a near four-plus-year win drought, his last victory coming at the 2014 RBC Heritage. "I certainly didn't want a three-footer on the last hole to win this thing," said Kuchar, who entered the final round with a four-shot lead but won by only one stroke over Danny Lee.

The season-long FedEx Cup points standings will help determine who keeps their PGA Tour cards for the 2019-'20 season as well as who'll be eligible for the FedEx Cup Playoff in August. In addition this season, a new $10 million bonus will be
