Sports Briefing | Golf: Chris Kirk Wins at Colonial

Chris Kirk made a par-saving 7-foot putt after an errant tee shot on the 18th hole, avoiding a playoff at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial in Fort Worth, Tex., and winning by a stroke Sunday for his fourth career PGA Tour victory.

With a closing four-under-par 66, Kirk got to 12-under 268, one stroke ahead of Jordan Spieth, Brandt Snedeker and Jason Bohn.

u25a0 Byeong Hun An shot a seven-under 65 to win the BMW PGA Championship in Virginia Water, England, with a tournament-record total of 21 under.

An, a 23-year-old South Korean, made five birdies and an eagle in a bogey-free round to finish six strokes ahead of Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand (69) and Miguel Ángel Jiménez of Spain (67) as he earned his first victory on the European Tour.
