New Zealand golfer Steve Alker has finished fourth in the Champions Tour's first major of the year.
The Regions Tradition in Alabama went into a fifth day because of weather, with Argentinian Angel Cabrera winning.
Cabrera was tied for the lead with three holes to play, and birdied the 16th and 18th to grab the win from American Jerry Kelly.
Cabrera is a two-time major champion - the US Open at Oakmont in 2007 and the Masters in 2009. He joins Miguel Angel Jimenez as the only multiple winners on the PGA Tour Champions.
Alker finished three shots behind Cabrera after playing his remaining holes on par.
The tournament was hit by storms during the final round on Sunday, and bad light prevented those on the leaderboard from completing their rounds.
The 53-year-old from Hamilton, who finished second in this tournament last year, remains second in Charles Schwab Cup standings.
The Champions Tour has its PGA Championship this week.

Is the Tactix latest loss also netball's loss?
Paris Lokotui. Photo: Andrew Cornaga/ The Tactix have now lost half of their title-winning team, with up-and-coming wing defence Paris Lokotui the latest to announce her departure. Lokotui was a key part of the line-up that overcame the defending champion-Mystics last month, to win the franchise's first domestic netball title. The 23-year-old was very unlucky to miss out on a place in the Silver Ferns squad last week. Lokotui would have been in the conversation but there wasn't space in a stacked midcourt. RNZ understands that the multi-talented sportswomen is considering a switch to rugby, a sport which runs in the family. Lokotui's father is former Tongan lock Lua Lokotui, who went to two Rugby World Cups. Lokotui dabbled in rugby sevens while she was a high school. By the time she left school Lokotui had already represented New Zealand in three sports - netball (NZ Secondary Schools), basketball (Junior Tall Ferns) and water polo (New Zealand U16). Lokotui, who started her domestic career at the Pulse, also played in the Tauihi Basketball Aotearoa league as recently as 2023. New Zealand's top netballers have had to live with a lot of uncertainty this year. Late last month a new broadcast deal was finally signed off for the 2026 domestic competition but it seems inevitable that players will face pay cuts. Paris Lokotui has played in the semi-professional basketball league. Photo: Photosport The Tactix thanked Lokotui for three outstanding seasons. "Paris has been a strong and commanding presence in our midcourt, and it's been a pleasure to watch as she's grown into the player she is today. This year she has reached over 50 ANZ Premiership matches - a milestone that reflects her talent and dedication to the game. "We wish her all the best as she takes on her next journey - once a Tactix, always a Tactix." The Tactix have lost three players to the Australian league - Karin Burger, Jane Watson, and shooter Te Paea Selby-Rickit. Burger, Watson, and Lokotui formed one of the ANZ Premierships best defensive lines. With strike shooter Ellie Bird retiring, the tally is at five but that could grow with captain Erikana Pedersen another one who could hang up her bib. The 31-year-old Tactix stalwart was very much undecided about her future following her side's drought breaking victory.

Black Ferns soak up Rugby World Cup buzz as opening game looms
Black Ferns hooker Vici-Rose Green. Photo: Andrew Cornaga/ The Black Ferns' rookies knew a Rugby World Cup would be like nothing else and their first few days in England have made that clear. The team is in York ahead of the opening game of their title defence against Spain on Monday morning (NZT). Who will win the 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup? We ran 10,000 simulations to rank the contenders Hooker Vici-Rose Green said it already felt vastly different to any other tournament. "It'll be my first World Cup so that's pretty special. World Cups are a pinnacle event. I'm just really excited to run out and whenever that is, soak up every opportunity and just do my family proud back at home," said Green, who had to leave her dog and seven cats in New Zealand. "My parents are back at home and I've got a couple siblings [looking after them]. They're not all mine. If anyone wants one they can have one. They're little rascals!" Vici-Rose Green of New Zealand. Photo: Andrew Cornaga/ Halfback Maia Joseph is another Black Ferns player competing at a World Cup for the first time. "It's the buzz around a World Cup. The World Cup ceremony was really cool to be a part of, seeing what the media and all the English public have brought to the World Cup. The amount of support around it as well." Joseph, Green and the team are now back into full training ahead of their opening match. "We were really lucky to be able to come over on Thursday last week, so we've had a good few off days and four or five days to get rid of the jet lag and I think today being the first training day, everyone was just super excited to start," Joseph said. While there are plenty of Black Ferns players attending their first World Cup there are more who have been to a previous tournament. Some have been to multiple World Cups, with Kelly Brazier attending her fourth and Portia Woodman-Wickliffe, Theresa Setefano and Stacey Waaka their third. "There's a lot of experience in our team and then there's a few newbies, like myself. So they've just gotten around us. I can't express how much gratitude I have for them. They've helped me absolutely grow in this space and I'm just really excited to see everyone's weapons unleashed," Green said. Maia Joseph playing for the Black Ferns. Photo: © Photosport Ltd 2024 Joseph believes having players with World Cup-winning experience will be key to their chances of success. "They bring experience. We have a few players who haven't just won one, but won two and three World Cups. So I think the experience they bring is huge and that's definitely for me, someone who's debuting, a confidence, which is something you can't really buy. That's really important to us."

NEMA identifies mobile phone alert problems during tsunami warning
Photo: RNZ The National Emergency Management Agency has revealed what caused people to get multiple alerts to their phones - or no alerts at all - during the tsunami scare caused by the 8.8 earthquake off Russia last month. The answer boils down to a combination of individual device settings, cell tower coverage and where the tsunami alert was sent - for example, those living far away from coastal areas were not included in the alerts. "We know explanations are little consolation for those who were awoken by alerts in the middle of the night," said NEMA director Civil Defence Emergency Management John Price in a review the agency released on Wednesday. "We are very sorry that this happened, and we're looking at ways to address this in future. However, we make no apologies for getting the message out to keep people safe." "NEMA only issued two alerts - at 4.13pm on 30 July and 6.30am on 31 July - but some people received multiple alerts during the night. We've discovered this is likely related to overnight software updates and device settings. "As for those who didn't receive alerts, tsunami alerts are only sent to coastal areas, so if you were inland then we didn't send you the message because you were not at risk." NEMA's John Price. Photo: RNZ / Samuel Rillstone Some people reported receiving up to 50 mobile alerts. Marlborough resident Terry Costello told RNZ he got the first alert on that Wednesday afternoon, followed by many more. "By the time I went to bed at 10pm, they were still going on and there'd been 32 of them by then. And I turned my phone off at 10pm and went to bed. And I turned it on again at 7am this morning and since then I've had another 16. So that's 48 altogether I've had." NEMA laid out several reasons why this might have happened: "As we don't have any control over how individual devices behave, we can't completely stop these issues from happening again - but we are looking at ways we can reduce their impact," Price said. Alerts use cell broadcast technology known as geotargeting to send alerts through cell towers in a selected area which can be the entire country or down to a small section of a city. "We identify the cell towers from all three telecommunications companies in the hazard area, draw a shape around them, and send the message to the area inside that shape," Price said. Some reported not getting the alerts at the same time as others. People might have received the 4.13pm or 6.30am alerts later because they entered the broadcast area. "We continued to transmit these alert broadcasts for several hours. This was so people entering the area later still got them. You might have got an alert when commuting home at 5.30pm, or into work at 8am. An emergency alert sent on Thursday, warning of strong currents and surges following the Russia earthquake. Photo: RNZ "The most likely answer is that you were outside the coastal areas we sent the alert to. But then you entered the broadcast zone at a later time, triggering the alert on your phone." If a person's phone was off or in flight mode they would receive the alert once it was turned back on. Some may not have gotten an alert at all during the tsunami scare, but that could be because it was aimed only at coastal regions - which admittedly covers most of the country, but not all of it, Price said. "Do you live in Hamilton? Palmerston North? Geraldine? Or perhaps an inland suburb of a coastal city? Then don't worry - we never sent it to you." In some households, there were reports that one person got the alert but another person did not. This is typically due to being on the border of the geotargeted broadcast area, Price said. "The geotargeted areas aren't a clean border. It depends on where the cell towers are and how far they transmit. "If some people in your household get the alert and others don't, you're probably right on the border and those who didn't get the alert may have a different network provider or are connected to a different cell tower than those who did." NEMA also has a section on their website where people can troubleshoot issues with alerts. The second tsunami alert that came at 6.30am on 31 July also drew a lot of criticism at the time on social media, with one person on Reddit calling it "an anxiety inducing alarm clock". However, NEMA said it has a statutory responsibility to warn of the ongoing risks as people began their day. NEMA chief executive Dave Gawn defended the early hour, writing in an editorial that "this is where the tough decision making comes in". "We knew we would wake some people up. We knew there'd be criticism. But we also knew the tsunami activity - while not spectacular or scary to witness - posed a grave risk to every one of those people. "We're hard-wired in our profession to plan for the worst case scenario. Imagine if a mother or father - having not received any alerts since the previous afternoon - assumed the threat had passed. Later that morning, they take their toddler to the beach for a paddle, only to helplessly watch their child get swept away by a fierce current." The magnitude 8.8 Russia earthquake caused tsunami alerts around the Pacific. Photo: AFP People cannot opt out of the mobile alerts, and the only way to avoid them is turning off your phone entirely or putting it in airplane mode. Price said that despite the kinks in last month's tsunami alert, NEMA had confidence in the system overall. "The good news is that there is no problem with the systems we use to send the messages," he said. "The alerts were effective in reaching the targeted coastal areas and getting the message out to stay away of the water while dangerous tsunami activity was happening. "We sent alerts to over three million mobile devices around the country, and when you consider the sheer variety of makes, models, and software, it's inevitable some variations will emerge at the receiver end. "After every emergency, we debrief to identify what went well and what needs to improve. We're working through this now to ensure we're doing the best we can at keeping people safe from tsunami and other threats." NEMA said they are still analysing the tsunami event and have not yet identified any potential changes in the system they may make.
