Young gun shoots nine-under 61 for maiden PGA Tour win
The 24-year-old Mouw triumphed in his 20th start on the tour when third-round leader Paul Peterson - who was playing the 10th hole at Kentucky's Hurstbourne Country Club when Mouw finished - missed a 55-foot birdie try from the front fringe on the 18th.
"I was mentally ready for a playoff," Mouw said. "But that wasn't the case and I'm just blessed to be the winner."
Mouw receives a two-year exemption and a PGA Championship spot next year, but not a spot in the Masters.
"I have job status for two more years and I get to use that to play some really good golf and try to win another golf tournament," Mouw said. "But as to my life, it doesn't change my life very much."
Peterson shot a 69 to finish a stroke back in the opposite-field PGA Tour event also sanctioned by the European tour.
Mouw birdied the first three holes and added two more on Nos. 7-8 in a front-nine 30. He birdied Nos. 10, 11, 13 and 17 on the back nine in the lowest score in his brief PGA Tour career.
He's the third rookie to win this season, following Australia's Karl Vilips in the Puerto Rico Open and South African Aldrich Potgieter at the Rocket Classic.
"I knew that if everything clicked and I did the right things, I could go pretty low. I'm just thrilled that it happened," he said.
The 37-year-old Peterson, also making his 20th career PGA Tour start, made a 24-foot birdie putt on 14 and a 30-footer on 16, then parred the final two holes.
European tour player Manuel Elvira was third at 7 under at 66, and Kentucky native Vince Whaley (70) and David Skinns (70) followed at 6 under.
William Mouw has overcome a seven-stroke deficit to win the ISCO Championship for his first PGA Tour title, shooting a nine-under 61 and waiting nearly two hours to see if his 10-under 270 total would hold up.

Thousands celebrate England women's Euro soccer success
An estimated 65,000 people turned out in central London to celebrate the England women's soccer team as the jubilant players marked their historic Euro 2025 triumph with an open-top bus parade. The team beat world champions Spain 3-1 on penalties in a nail-biting final in Basel to secure their second consecutive European title, retaining the crown they won as hosts three years ago. It is the first time a senior England soccer team have won a major trophy on foreign soil. Crowds standing 20 to 30 deep in places packed the parade route, many holding young children aloft to catch sight of the players as they waved and filmed the scene from the top deck of their buses. The two buses, emblazoned with the word 'Champions', followed a marching band along The Mall, where England's red and white St George's Cross flags fluttered throughout the crowd, on the way to a stage in front of Buckingham Palace. "Everything we do, obviously we do it for us and our team, but we do it for the country and we do it for young girls," captain Leah Williamson said after the players had made their way to the stage to address the flag-waving supporters. "I've been crying all the way down The Mall. This is unbelievable, probably one of the best things we've been a part of." The 28-year-old Arsenal defender added: "We're making history every single step. Stay with us, this story is not done yet."Thank you so much for being with us. Stay with us, this story is not done yet," she said. FA chief executive Mark Bullingham told BBC Radio 5 Live: "It was funny, the players kept asking us 'do you think people will really come?'. "And we were like 'yeah, they definitely will come'. We'd seen crowds yesterday coming to meet them at the airport so we were really confident, but the British public are just incredible and really did us proud today." The celebrations kicked off on Monday when the team arrived home, greeted by excited fans who defied instructions not to gather at the airport. Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner later hosted them at a reception at Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Downing Street residence. Starmer, who missed the reception as he was in Scotland meeting US President Donald Trump, spoke to the players by phone while they were in Downing Street.

England's Lionesses party in London after Euro 2025 triumph
England's victorious Lionesses were feted by thousands of ecstatic fans in London on Tuesday during an open-top bus parade to celebrate their dramatic Euro 2025 triumph. Sarina Wiegman's team successfully defended their European crown by beating world champions Spain on penalties in the Swiss city of Basel on Sunday, sparking an outpouring of national joy. They flew home on Monday and were immediately whisked to 10 Downing Street, the working home of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, for a reception. On Tuesday it was the turn of fans to celebrate the astonishing success of the Lionesses, who repeatedly defied the odds during their run to glory in Switzerland. Two buses emblazoned with the words "European Champions" set off from the bottom of The Mall, the road leading to Buckingham Palace, under grey skies shortly after midday. Captain Leah Williamson held the Euro 2025 trophy in the air and supporters responded with cheers and by waving their flags. The decibel count rouse as the bus crawled along the road, lined with Union flags and the St George's Cross, led by a military band. The huge crowds then swarmed down the road towards Buckingham Palace to party with the squad, with two large screens showing tournament highlights. - 'Still we rise' - An emotional Williamson was first to speak from a stage outside Buckingham Palace, saying she had been crying all the way down The Mall. "There's lots of ways to win a football match, and we repeatedly did it the hard way," she said. "But I think that you can see how much we care about playing for England, how much we love it. "(Victory in) 2022 was a fairytale, but this feels really hard-earned, and we're very proud of ourselves." The skipper said the team had overcome adversity, including defeat to France in their opening match: "Nasty things to deal with, and still we rise." She added: "Everything we do, obviously we do it for us and our team, but we do it for the country, and we do it for the young girls. "This job never existed 30 or 40 years ago, and we're making history every single step. Thank you so much, thank you so much for being with us. Stay with us, this story's not done yet." Wiegman told the cheering crowds that her players "showed up" when they had to before dancing on stage with Nigerian singer Burna Boy. "I had hoped for a little less chaos but they didn't keep their promise to finish things quicker," she said. "But as we always have a plan, and we try to execute that, and the players on the pitch, and we just kept having hope all the time, and belief, and they just showed up when it was really necessary and urgent." Victory in Switzerland was sweet revenge for Wiegman's team, who suffered bitter defeat against Spain in the World Cup final two years ago. The Lionesses were hosted at number 10 on Monday by Deputy Prime minister Angela Rayner and Sports Minister Stephanie Peacock while Starmer was in Scotland meeting US President Donald Trump. Rayner hailed the players as a "shining example of talent and excitement for women's football". jw/jwp/bsp

AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri and Mike Maignan excited for pre-season friendly with Perth Glory
Perth is turning red and black as European soccer giants AC Milan are making their presence felt ahead of their second game in WA in as many years. The Italian powerhouse have landed in WA off the back of two high-profile pre-season clashes with Arsenal and Liverpool in Asia, and will face Perth Glory on Thursday night at HBF Park. It follows on from Milan's previous trip to Perth, which saw them face fellow Italian side AS Roma in front of more than 56,000 people at Optus Stadium last May. The Italians have brought several star names down under, including American ace Christian Pulisic, talismanic Portugese forward Rafael Leao and internationally-capped Englishmen Fikayo Tomori and Ruben Loftus-Cheek. With Deputy Premier Rita Saffioti spruiking Thursday's match against the Glory as a near sell-out, coach Massimiliano Allegri and captain Mike Maignan spoke of their excitement at finishing off their Asia-Pacific tour in style. Allegri, said he had appreciated the warm reception from fans in WA, who lined the Crown Towers lobby on Sunday night to greet the club upon arrival. 'I'm honored to represent AC Milan for the first time in Western Australia and in Australia generally,' Allegri said via an interpreter. 'I recognise the huge following that AC Milan has across this country, and I'm looking forward to not only the game on Thursday night, but everything that surrounds it.' Maignan, who has established himself as the French international team's no.1 goalkeeper, said through an interpreter he was looking forward to playing the Glory. 'I'm very honoured to lead my team into Perth and Western Australia. I'm very proud of his club, and I'm looking forward to showing not only what Italian football is on the park, but the culture and everything else that's around AC Milan,' he said. Players from the club also visited Perth Children's Hospital on Monday to greet young fans.
