Dublin (US), June 3 

Anirban Lahiri and Shubhankar Sharma could not make any significant headway on the fourth day, signing off at tied-52nd and tied-62nd, respectively, at the Memorial Tournament here.

Sharma, who was T-31 after Round 3, ended the tournament with a triple-bogey and a bogey on the last two holes for a 78. Sharma had two birdies, three bogeys, one double and one triple.

Lahiri, who had five birdies against four bogeys for a 1-under 71, was done in by his middle two rounds of 76-75 after opening the week with a superb 67.

Cantlay wins by two strokes

Former world No. 1 amateur Patrick Cantlay clinched his second PGA Tour victory in emphatic fashion when he carded a closing 8-under 64 to beat Adam Scott by two strokes. After starting four strokes behind overnight leader Martin Kaymer, American Cantlay was impeccable as he passed the German, who faded to third place with a 72. With the best final round by a winner in the tournament’s history, Cantlay finished at 19-under, while Australian Scott continued his good form with a 68. The 27-year-old Cantlay arrived at the Memorial brimming with confidence after a tie for third at the PGA Championship two weeks ago. — Agencies

Lee wins US Women’s Open, Aditi 39th

Charleston (US): India’s Aditi Ashok shot an even-par 71 in the final round to finish tied-39th at 5-over in the US Women’s Open here. Lee Jeong-eun (in pic) became the ninth South Korean to win the US Women’s Open, holding her nerve while her rivals faltered to claim the first $1 million winner’s prize in women’s golf. Lee, who has a ‘6’ in her surname to differentiate herself from five other players with the same name on the Korean Tour, had two late bogeys but a 1-under 70 was enough to clinch the title at the demanding course. The Tour rookie’s 6-under total was two shots better than compatriot and 2011 champion Ryu So-yeon (70) and Americans Angel Yin (68) and Lexi Thompson (73). — Agencies
