As much as Kevin Streelman enjoys the back nine at TPC River Highlands,, even he didnt think he what he accomplished Sunday was possible. Streelman birdied the last seven holes to win the Travelers Championship by a stroke, shooting his second straight 6-under 64 to finish at 15-under 265. "Its probably my favourite nine holes on the PGA Tour," Streelman said. "But you cant plan for something like that to happen. It just kind of falls into place." He broke the tour record for consecutive closing birdies by a winner of six set by Mike Souchak in the 1956 St. Paul Open. He matched the tournament record with a 7-under 28 on the final nine. "I had 10 one-putts in a row," Streelman said. "Thats something Ive definitely never done before." Also the Tampa Bay Championship winner last season, the 35-year-old Streelman missed the cuts in his previous four starts on tour. "I didnt have too many expectations coming here," said Streelman, who earned $1.12 million for the victory. Sergio Garcia and K.J. Choi tied for second. They each shot 67. Aaron Baddeley was fourth at 13 under after a 69. Streelman was 1 over for the day before starting the birdie run on No. 12. The streak reached five with a 37-foot putt at No. 16, and he capped it by hitting a wedge to 9 feet and rolling in another putt at No. 18. "I knew when that putt fell on 16 that something kind of special was happening," Streelman said. Streelman said he hasnt focus on golf exclusively lately, trying to spend more time with wife Courtney and 6-month-old daughter Sophie. "I was thinking about her (Sophie) on those last couple of putts. I was thinking, You know what? If these go in, great. If not, great. Shes going to love me either way and we have a nice family vacation coming up either way," Streelman said. Streelman said a 10-foot putt for birdie on No. 9 gave him a boost of confidence that he could finish with a flourish. Garcia has six top-10 finishes in 10 PGA Tour starts this season, and won the European Tours Qatar Masters in January. "At the end of the day he played really, really well," Garcia said about Streelman. "I feel like I played quite nicely and it just wasnt my time." For the sixth straight year at the Travelers the player who held the 54-hole lead was unable to win. Ryan Moore was one stroke ahead after three rounds, but closed with a 71 to tie for fifth at 12 under. Second-round leader Scott Langley birdied his first three holes and briefly pulled into the lead at 14 under. He, too, finished with a 71 to tie for 11th at 10 under. Miguel Angel Carballo became the second player to make three eagles in a round on the PGA Tour this season as part of a 63 early Saturday. He finished at 9 under. Patrick Rodgers, the former Stanford star making his pro debut, shot a 70 to tie for 46th at 4 under. Ken Duke, the winner last year, had a 68 to also finish at 4 under.

MAKE IT SEVEN Facing elimination, the Montreal Canadiens came out of the gate quickly to take an early lead, got a few bounces and 26 saves from Carey Price on the way to a 4-0 win, tying the series at three games apiece. NEW YORK -- Carlos Gomez and the Milwaukee Brewers have managed a positive climax to their disappointing season. Gomez homered and had four hits, including a tiebreaking single in the 10th inning that sent Milwaukee past the New York Mets 4-2 on Saturday for its fourth straight victory. "Long game, but finally we got the W. Thats more important," Gomez said. "Its one of those days like, everything you hit, you have to take it. Tomorrow is the last one and finish hard, get another win." Yuniesky Betancourt drove in two runs for the Brewers (74-87), who have won six of seven and 12 of 17. Milwaukee has taken the first three in a four-game set at Citi Field -- all by the same score -- to give the club five victories in its final seven series. Despite their punchless finish, the Mets are set to retain manager Terry Collins. Three people with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press that Collins is close to an agreement to return. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been finalized and no announcement had been made. Collins current contract expires after this season, his third in charge of the Mets. The team is expected to announce an extension for Collins at a news conference Monday, the day after the season ends. He is nearing a two-year contract, one of the people said, perhaps with a team option for 2016. "It would be a blast," Collins said. "But again, we will wait til the end of the year to smile about it." Eric Young Jr. singled home the tying run for the Mets in the ninth on an 0-2 pitch from rookie Donovan Hand. David Wright had a chance to win it, but he grounded sharply into an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded. "I had good at-bats and some bad luck," Wright said. Pinch-hitter Caleb Gindl drew a four-pitch walk from Scott Atchison (3-3) to start the 10th and went to third on Jonathan Lucroys broken-bat single. Gomez followed with a flare to right-centre to put Milwaukee ahead. Betancourt added an RBI single. Hand (1-5) initially tried for a six-out save and instead wound up with his first major league win. With the Brewers resting closer Jim Henderson, Alfredo Figaro got three straight outs for his first career save. "With two games to go in the season and nothing to play for, we still put together a ccomeback.dddddddddddd. So I thought that was huge and it really kind of picked me up," Hand said. "Its bittersweet, I guess is the best way to put it for me. Its awesome to have a big league win. You dream of that as a kid, and who wouldnt want a big league win? But its like, you get it the way I did, kind of frustrating." Wright went 0 for 5 and stranded six runners after sitting out Friday night with a sore right thumb. He grounded out ending the seventh, leaving three aboard after New York loaded the bases with no outs. "Those are the things that have haunted us for the last six months," Collins said. Young lined out to centre field and Lucas Duda popped up before Wright came to bat. The Mets, who have managed 13 runs in their last six games, are 2 for 27 (.074) with runners in scoring position during the series. Gomez stole two bases in the second to give him 39 this season. The All-Star centre fielder singled in the eighth before Betancourts bases-loaded sacrifice fly gave the Brewers a 2-1 lead. All-Star shortstop Jean Segura returned to Milwaukees lineup after missing nine games because of a strained right hamstring, but was lifted in the eighth. Segura and Young remained tied for tops in the NL with 44 stolen bases. Brewers prospect Jimmy Nelson allowed one hit over five innings in his first major league start. "It was all right. It wasnt pretty, but I tried to do my best to keep us in there and give us a chance to win," Nelson said. "I didnt throw as many quality pitches as I would have liked." NOTES: The Brewers announced that all of manager Ron Roenickes coaches will return next season. Triple-A Nashville manager Mike Guerrero will join the big league coaching staff as well. Roenicke said he thinks Guerreros ability to speak the same language as some of the teams Latin players will be valuable. ... LF Khris Davis will miss the final two games of the season with a strained left hamstring. He was injured Friday night. ... Aramis Ramirez (left knee) had a pinch-hit single. ... RF Norichika Aokis name was written in Japanese on the lineup card posted inside the clubhouse. ... The Mets will induct former catcher Mike Piazza into their Hall of Fame before the season finale Sunday. LHP Jonathon Niese (8-8, 3.74 ERA) might be limited to about 85 pitches, Collins said. cheap jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys Ray Ban Outlet Michael Kors Outlet Michael Kors Sale Cheap Michael Kors ' ' '
