Steve Allan wins Boeing Classic for 3rd PGA Tour Champions victory of the season
SNOQUALMIE, Wash. (AP) — Steve Allan of Australia won the Boeing Classic on Sunday for his second PGA Tour Champions victory in three starts and third of the season, closing with a birdie for a 7-under 65 and a one-stroke margin over Stewart Cink. Allan made a 5-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th at The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge, then waited to see if Cink could catch him. A stroke behind going into the final hole, Cink left a greenside bunker shot on the lip and made a par for a 70. The 51-year-old Allan finished at 15-under 201. He won the The Galleri Classic at Mission Hills in the California desert in March and the Dick's Open last month in Endicott, New York. Ernie Els and Darren Clarke tied for third at 13 under, each shooting 66. Alex Cejka was another stroke back after a 67. Local favorite Fred Couples tied for 47th at 1 over after a 75. From Seattle, the 65-year-old Couples made only his seventh senior start of the season. ___ AP golf:

Allan chasing as Cink opens lead on PGA Tour Champions
Steve Allan is four shots behind leader Stewart Cink as he chases a third victory of the season on the PGA Tour Champions. The 51-year-old Australian shot a four-under 68 on Saturday to get to nine under and is tied fourth heading into the final round of the Boeing Classic in Snoqualmie, Washington. Allan has already won the Galleri Classic in March and Dick's Open in July. However he will have his work cut out to catch 2009 British Open champion Cink, an eight-time PGA Tour winner, who posted a bogey-free 64 take a three-shot lead from New Zealand's Steve Alker (68) and fellow American Paul Goydos (69). Cink moved up 10 spots from the first round on Friday with eight birdies at Nos. 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 18 to get to 12 under at The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge. "If you stopped me after about No. 5 and said, 'Hey, what are the chances you're going to shoot 64 today?' I would have probably said you were crazy because nothing was happening at all," Cink, 52, said after the round. "I made a really good par save on the third hole, which is a tough par 4. I made a sloppy par on the first hole, which is an easy par 5. ... Nothing was happening. "But then, amazing how your momentum can flip with just one, really one putt, and a good putt on 6 from about 15 feet went in the centre. It was kind of just the lid was off." Alker was working an unblemished round with birdies at Nos. 5, 6, 12, 14 and 17, then he bogeyed the par-5 No. 18. "Yeah, just unfortunate about 18," Alker said. "Going to make dinner taste a little bit not as good. But I'm right there, so I like the golf course, the game's feeling OK, so go get 'em tomorrow." First-round co-leaders Jerry Kelly and Matt Gogel each fired a 71 to move to 8 under and are tied for fourth with Allan. Kelly, 58, is trying to win the Boeing Classic for the second time. It was the site of his first PGA Tour Champions victory in 2017; now he's searching for his 14th title overall. Greg Chalmers was the next-best Australian, tied 19th at four under after a 71, with Richard Green (710, Brendan JOnes 73) and Stuart Appleby (73) two shots further back. - with AAP

Stewart Cink heats up, takes 3-stroke lead at Boeing Classic
WASHINGTON: Stewart Cink shot a bogey-free 8-under-par 64 yesterday to take a three-shot lead going into the final round of the Boeing Classic in Snoqualmie, Washington. Cink moved up 10 spots from the first round on Friday with eight birdies at Nos. 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 18 to get to 12 under for the tournament at The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge. "If you stopped me after about No. 5 and said, 'Hey, what are the chances you're going to shoot 64 today?' I would have probably said you were crazy because nothing was happening at all," Cink, 52, said after the round. "I made a really good par save on the third hole, which is a tough par 4. I made a sloppy par on the first hole, which is an easy par 5. ... Nothing was happening. "But then, amazing how your momentum can flip with just one, really one putt, and a good putt on 6 from about 15 feet went in the center. It was kind of just the lid was off." Cink saved par at No. 17 after his tee shot landed about 80 feet from the pin and he got within 5 feet putting his second shot at the par-3 hole. "Yeah, that was a really big moment because you don't want to throw away a shot. It wasn't a horrible shot off the tee, just a little bit of a cut that didn't really cut and it just ended up down where it did," Cink said. "To get that ball close enough where the next putt was really makeable was a good way to just kind of keep the momentum going and keep the mindset in the right place." Steven Alker of New Zealand and Paul Goydos are tied for second at 9-under 135. Alker shot 4-under 68 yesterday, while Goydos carded 69. "I just kind of kept the round going," Alker said. "I played the par 5s poorly. You've got to get the par 5s out here today. I think I played them 1 over, so you can't do that tomorrow. But otherwise, most of the day just kept my nose clean and hit some good shots. Kind of felt like I left a little bit out there." Alker was working an unblemished round with birdies at Nos. 5, 6, 12, 14 and 17, then he bogeyed the par-5 No. 18. "Yeah, just unfortunate about 18," Alker said. "Going to make dinner taste a little bit not as good. But I'm right there, so I like the golf course, the game's feeling OK, so go get 'em tomorrow."

Two-time defending champion Stephen Ames of Canada is tied for 19th at 4 under after back-to-back rounds of 70. — REUTERS
