U.S. wins Cup title

The United States won the Presidents Cup. Mike Weir gave Canada quite a consolation prize.

The Americans won enough of the singles matches Sunday in Montreal to capture the Presidents Cup for the second straight time, giving them an international victory in cup competition for the first time since 1993.

That didn’t stop the relentless cheers that rocked Royal Montreal on a spectacular autumn day, especially when Weir won the final two holes to beat Tiger Woods and send his country home feeling like a winner.

He needed some help from the world’s No. 1 player.

With the match all square and Weir safely in the 18th fairway, Woods pulled his tee shot and watched it land in a pond, just a few yards short of a Canadian flag fans were holding behind the ropes.

Weir hit his approach to 15 feet, and after Woods’ chip for par stopped rolling 2 inches from the cup, he conceded the putt.

LPGA

Maria Hjorth made a long birdie putt on the 17th hole and held on for her first LPGA Tour win since 1999 Sunday at the Navistar LPGA Classic in Prattville, Ala., denying Lorena Ochoa’s bid for a fourth straight win.

Hjorth shot a final-day 5-under-par 67 for a 14-under 274 at Capitol Hill’s Senator Course, passing both Ochoa and Stacy Prammanasudh.

Wendy Ward of Edwall, Wash., finished tied for 20th at 2-under. Tracy Hanson from Rathdrum finished at 1-under.

PGA

Chad Campbell righted his listing game with a one-stroke victory over Johnson Wagner in the Viking Classic at Madison, Miss., making two birdies on his last three holes to win.

Campbell was among six golfers who held or were tied for the lead Sunday at Annandale Golf Club. He finished with a 3-under-par 69 – the only member of that group under 70 – to win after trailing two-day leader David Branshaw by three strokes entering the final round.
