Jay Haas charged past Tom Watson on Sunday to win the Senior Players Championship by a stroke, birdieing the 18th hole to match the course record with a 6-under 64 in the final Champions Tour major of the season.

The 60-year-old Watson was tying to become the oldest major winner on the tour for golfers 50 and over. But after making only one bogey in the first three rounds at Baltimore Country Club in Timonium, Md., he had three in the final round en route to a 70.

Haas finished at 13-under 267 for his third senior major title. He has 14 career Champions Tour victories, also winning the Greater Hickory Classic two weeks ago.

LPGA

Lorena Ochoa successfully defended her Navistar LPGA Classic title, overcoming early troubles to shoot a 2-under 70 on Sunday for a four-stroke victory over Michelle Wie and Brittany Lang at Prattville, Ala.

Ochoa finished at 18-under 270 on The Senator course at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail’s Capitol Hill complex to snap an 11-start winless streak dating to the Corona Championship in late April.

The top-ranked Mexican star has three victories this year and 27 overall on the LPGA Tour.

Wie overcame a gimpy left ankle to close with a 66, while Lang had a 70.

Fourteen-year-old Alexis Thompson shot her second straight 74 to tie for 27th at 6 under.

She opened with rounds of 65 and 69 to share the second-round lead.

PGA

Matt Kuchar and Vaughn Taylor were still tied after two holes in a sudden-death playoff at the Turning Stone Resort Championship in Verona, N.Y., when play was suspended because of darkness, forcing a Monday finish.

They birdied the first extra hole and parred the second. They will resume play this morning on the 13th tee.

Taylor, the second-round leader, began the day three shots off the lead and shot a 6-under 66 to match Kuchar (69) at 17-under 271.

Rookie Leif Olson (69) tied for third with Tim Petrovic (67) at 16 under.
