Journeyman Simon Khan scored a shock victory at the PGA Championship Sunday, becoming the first invited player to win the European Tour's flagship event. The 37-year-old Briton, competing on a sponsor's invite after being forced to go to Qualifying School last year, took the first prize of 750,000 euros ($937,800) after a closing five-under-par 66 earned him a six-under tally of 278. Swede Fredrik Andersson Hed (67) was joint second on 279 with Briton Luke Donald (71), who saw his victory hopes go up in smoke with a double-bogey seven at the long 17th. Stephen Gallacher of Britain carded a 70 to finish fourth on 280. “When I birdied 10 I just reminded myself: ‘This is what you always dreamed of',” Englishman Khan told reporters. “This place inspires me. I've been coming here since 1984, a long time ago. It's fantastic to do it here. I enjoyed it – the weather, the crowds, it really got me going.” It was another scorching, hot day at Wentworth but the fiendishly difficult, revamped West Course did its bit to cool the putters of the players at the top of the leaderboard. Overnight pacesetter Chris Wood of Briton made a series of errors as he slumped to a 77 for 282 and for a long while it seemed no one was ready to make a forward move. Up stepped Khan, though, with a joint-best-of-the-day 66 helping him to break the tournament record for the biggest final-round winning comeback after he started the day seven adrift of Wood. The victory also secured a five-year tour exemption and a three-year British Open exemption for last year's Qualifying School winner. Donald was undone by a wretched 17th. He drove way right into the trees, could only chip his ball out a few yards and eventually took five to reach the green. Yoo wins Match Play Sun Young Yoo won the Sybase Match Play Championship for her first LPGA Tour victory, beating Angela Stanford 3 and 1 Sunday at Hamilton Farm, New Jersey. Yoo, the 23-year-old South Korean player in her fifth LPGA Tour season, won the 13th and 14th holes with pars and took a 2-up lead with a 15-foot putt for her first birdie of the match on the par-3 16th. The match ended when Stanford missed her birdie putt and conceded Yoo's birdie. In the morning semifinals, the 28th-seeded Yoo beat top-ranked Jiyai Shin 2 and 1, and the 10th-seeded Stanford advanced with a 19-hole victory over Amy Yang. Shin won the third-place match, beating Yang 3 and 2. Day on top Australian Jason Day fired a three-under 67 Saturday to reach the top of the leaderboard heading into the final round of the $6.5 million PGA Byron Nelson Championship at Dallas. Day finished at 12-under 198 and has a two-shot lead over his nearest challenger and a six-stroke lead over amateur phenom Jordan Spieth who became the sixth youngest player to make the cut at a PGA event. American Blake Adams had an even-par 70 Saturday and is alone in second place at 10-under 200 at the Four Seasons Resort Las Colinas. Jeff Overton shot a one-under 69 and is third at minus-nine. Kenny Perry (66), Tom Pernice, (66) and Aussie Mark Hensby (64) share fourth place at seven-under 203. The 16-year-old Spieth had a three-under 67 Saturday and moved into a group tied for seventh at six-under 204. The best finish by a player this young was Italy's Matteo Manassero, tying for 13th at the 2009 British Open.
