Hovland let Schauffele get close, but not for long as the Norwegian held onto his lead to win his first Tour Championship.
ATLANTA — Viktor Hovland captured his first Tour Championship Sunday, once again putting on a clinic. He shot a final round 63 to finish at 27-under par for the win.
Hovland came into the day with a six-shot lead over Xander Schauffele, but that wouldn’t last all day. Schauffele still had some fire in him, going 7-under through 12 holes. He would finish the day with a 62, his best round at East Lake.

Pittsburgh Pirates prospect Paul Skenes has looked every bit of the pitcher that was advertised when he was drafted out of LSU with the No. 1 pick back in June.
The right-hander has been dominant and breezed through four scoreless innings during brief stops in the Florida Complex League and the Florida State League. Following his strong three innings of work in Single-A, he was promoted to Double-A.

With the preseason coming to a close, teams have to get their rosters down to 53 players. On Sunday, many teams started the process of making those cuts. One of the casualties for the Denver Broncos was wide receiver Kendall Hinton.
If that name sounds familiar, it should. During the 2020 NFL season when COVID caused many disruptions across the league, the Denver Broncos found themselves in a bad spot.
Thanks to a close contact with third-string quarterback Jeff Driskel, the league made all four of the team’s quarterbacks ineligible for a Week 12 game against the New Orleans Saints.
Coaches decided to call off Saturday’s preseason matchup between the Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars after Miami wideout Daewood Davis went down in the fourth quarter with a head and neck injury.
Players gathered around Davis before he was stretchered off the field.
The game was suspended with the Jags up, 31-18, and eight minutes left in the game.

With a return to the NFL delayed until 2024, Buccaneers starting center Ryan Jensen will continue to explore options in his recovery from multiple knee ligament tears in 2022. And, according to a new report, the offensive lineman has already experienced unique methods in lieu of surgery.
According to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, Jensen, who was placed on season-ending injured reserve Saturday, opted to forego reconstructive surgery to repair the three torn ligaments, choosing instead to receive a series of stem cell treatments.
Elly De La Cruz showcased his stunningly strong arm during Sunday’s game against the Diamondbacks, miraculously throwing out star outfielder Corbin Carroll to deny him what would have been an inside-the-park home run.
After Carroll blasted a hit to the wall in center field, the ball was misplayed by Reds’ T.J. Friedl. Arizona’s third base coach Tony Perezchica waved Carroll home, but the 23-year-old was gunned down by the relay throw from De La Cruz, which registered at nearly 100 mph, clocking in officially at 99.7 mph.
Just moments before California’s Louis Lappe hit a towering home run over the left field fence, giving his team a dramatic 6-5 walk-off victory over Curaçao to win the Little League World Series, ESPN broadcaster Karl Ravech noted that Curaçao had “not allowed a home run at the World Series.”
Some might call that a jinx. California calls it heroic.
“Challenged him and this game is over,” exalted Ravech. “Louis Lappe does it again. California, your Little League World Series Champs on a walk-off home run.
Benches cleared during the Yankees–Rays clash on Sunday after Randy Arozarena was hit by a pitch from Albert Abreu in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Arozarena took exception to the inside fastball from Abreu, nearly slamming his bat in frustration before turning to face the mound and attempt to approach the pitcher. He was held back by home plate umpire Adam Beck, but the outfielder continued to jaw at Abreu, who eventually began chirping back.
The Little League World Series Championship game featured a matchup between the top team from the international side — the Caribbean region team from Willemstad, Curacao — and the top team from the United States side — the West region team from El Segundo, California.
California faced the Southwest region team from Needville, Texas in the United States final. In their previous matchup, Texas defeated California (3-1). But, the West champions won the game that matter, a 6-1 victory in the United States final, to reach the championship game.
