David Horsey of England has won the BMW International Open by one shot to claim the biggest victory of his career. The 25-year-old Horsey, who was in joint fifth place overnight, shot a 5-under 67 in the final round to finish on 18 under. England's Ross Fisher carded an eagle on the 18th to come second and five players were tied for third on 16 under - Germany's Alex Cejka, Spanish pair Pablo Larrazabal and Rafael Cabrero-Bello, England's Kenneth Ferrie and Bradley Dredge of Wales. Dredge, who led at the end of each of the first three days, faded badly over the back nine and a double-bogey six on the 16th signaled the end of his challenge. Rose takes three-stroke lead In Connecticut, Britain's Justin Rose is on target to claim his second PGA Tour win of the month after marching three strokes clear in the third round of the Travelers Championship Saturday. Rose carded a two-under 68 to finish on 16-under 194, three ahead of former British Open champion Ben Curtis (64). American Vaughn Taylor (67) was third on 199 and seven players were involved in a logjam on 200 including Australian Matt Jones and US Ryder Cup captain Corey Pavin. After notching 15 birdies in his first two rounds, Rose found it tougher going at TPC River Highlands Saturday. “It was just a day when nothing really went in on the greens,” Rose said. “I guess the tale of the day was that I really made nothing. The longest putt I made was about - I think someone said four feet, 10 inches for par on 17. “So I am really happy to have a day like that and still shoot 68 and maintain the lead.” The Englishman, who seized his first PGA Tour victory at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio earlier this month, made birdies at the fifth and sixth but had to wait until the 15th for another. He also came unstuck with a bogey at the par-five 13th after finding water off the tee. “I really had only one loose swing all day, on the tee at 13,” Rose said. “But after that shot I rallied well. I got up-and-down for par on 14, birdied 15 and hit it quite close there on 16. So bounced back from the only bogey of the day.” Having gone winless in his first 161 PGA Tour events, Rose said his recent breakthrough would help him Sunday. “I'll sleep much easier tonight than I would have a month ago for sure,” Rose said. “It's one less thing to think about, can I get it over the line. I've done that now, and I certainly would love to win my second Sunday.” Curtis' challenge came to life when he strung together five birdies on the back nine. “I got off to a slower start today than I wanted,” he said. “But I just stayed patient and tried to keep hitting greens and make some putts. Luckily the last nine holes they started going in.” Kerr wins LPGA event In New York, American Cristie Kerr won the LPGA Championship by a record 12 shots Sunday to take over as the new world No. 1 in women's golf. Kerr started the final day with an eight-stroke lead and never gave her rivals any chance as she cruised to victory with a superb final round of six-under-par 66 to finish the second of this year's four women's majors at an incredible 19-under-par. Kim Song-hee closed with a 69 to claim outright second at seven-under while her fellow South Korean Shin Jiyai finished tied for third, a further two shots back, with Japan's Ai Miyazato, who had held the number one ranking for just one week. Kerr, 32, won her only previous major at the 2007 US Open and becomes just the fifth player to reach the top spot since official rankings were introduced in 2006.
