• Brilliant Bachem wins Jonsson Workwear Open
  Nick Bachem claimed his maiden DP World Tour title courtesy of a brilliant blemish-free final round at the Jonsson Workwear Open on Sunday.   The 23-year-old German won by a commanding four-shot margin courtesy of a closing eight-under 64 at The Club at Steyn City.   Bachem was playing on the Pro Golf Tour only two years ago and celebrated the biggest victory of his fledgling career in Johannesburg, where he finished the week on 24 under.   The leader after two rounds, Bachem went into the final day in a share of second place behind Swede Joakim Lagergren and claimed the title in only his 12th DP World Tour start. He went out in 32 after making birdies at four of the first six holes before picking up further strokes at the 10th and 11th.   The composed Bachem also made gains at 14 and 17 to give himself breathing space, with Hennie du Plessis and Zander Lombard in a share of second place on 20 under.   Lombard finished with a 65 in his homeland, while Du Plessis carded a 68.   Lagergren birdied two of the opening three holes, but lost his way and finished in sixth spot after signing for a two-under 70.      
• Hojgaard, Stevens lead heading into wide open final round at Corales Puntacana Championship

  Nicolai Hojgaard and Sam Stevens are tied for the lead at 14 under after three rounds of the Corales Puntacana Championship, although it is wide open going into Sunday.

  Only two players shot better than Hojgaard's six-under 66 on Saturday, and it came after a terrific 65 on Friday as the 22-year-old two-time European Tour winner looks to break through.

  Stevens, 26, is also winless on the PGA Tour, and he blew an opportunity to head into the final round in the outright lead as he bogeyed the 18th.

  There is a four-man chasing group on their tail at 13 under, with Americans Wyndham Clark and Tyler Duncan joined by Belgium's Thomas Detry and England's Matt Wallace.

  Detry's seven-under 65 was tied for the round of the day with France's Martin Trainer, who used it to fly up into the top-10, now tied for seventh at 12 under.

  The 2018 champion at this event Brice Garnett is alone in 10th at 10 under, and last year's runner-up Ben Martin is one further back at nine under.

• Scheffler, McIlroy on collision course in WGC Match Play's final four

  Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are one win away from meeting in the WGC Match Play final after both advancing into the last four on Saturday.

  In the first of four elimination rounds among the 16 group winners, Scheffler was matched up with J.T. Poston, and after trailing throughout the back-nine he won both the 17th and 18th to sneak by with a 1up victory.

  He would meet the in-form Jason Day for a spot in the semi-finals after Day took a 1up win over Matt Kuchar, and after Day went 3up on the front-nine, Scheffler won five of the next eight holes to secure a 2 and 1 win.

  Meanwhile, McIlroy started his day with a 2up triumph over Lucas Herbert, leading all the way, and he followed it with a hard-fought 1up win against Xander Schauffele, where he did not take his first lead until the final hole.

  Scheffler will meet Sam Burns in the final four after Burns upset Patrick Cantlay 2 and 1, and then proved too good for Mackenzie Hughes in a 3 and 2 result.

  McIlroy will have to navigate the challenge of Cameron Young to reach the final after his dominant 5 and 4 win over 2021 champion Billy Horschel, following it up with a 1up result against recent Arnold Palmer Invitational champion Kurt Kitayama.

  With one more win Scheffler can become the first player in the history of the event – dating back to 1999 – to reach the final in three consecutive seasons, after winning in 2022 and finishing runner-up in 2021.
