Perry surges to record 258

Perry
The 48-year old Perry, who led after each of the first two rounds, trailed by a stroke to Paul Goydos heading into Sunday.
But he shot 32 on the front nine and was leading by five strokes heading to the par-4 15th.
Goydos made a 20-foot eagle putt from the fringe on 15 and birdied 16. But he missed his birdie putt on 17 to the right.
Perry birdied 15 and put the tournament away by making birdie on 17 after hitting a 164-yard approach to within 8 feet. His bogey-bogey finish at Augusta kept him from winning the Masters in April.
Perry takes home a little more than $1 million with the victory and has now won five times in just over a year, the most of any player on tour.
LPGA Tour
ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Jiyai Shin picked up her fifth title in 11 months with a seven-stroke victory at the Wegmans LPGA.
The 21-year-old South Korean shot a 1-under 71 to finish at 17-under 271.
Kristy McPherson and Yani Tseng each shot a 66, the day's best score, to lock into a second-place tie at 10 under. One behind were rookie Stacy Lewis, Mika Miyazato and Haeji Kang.
Champions Tour
ENDICOTT, N.Y. - Lonnie Nielsen shot a 9-under to beat Fred Funk and Ronnie Black by three shots for his first Champions Tour victory of the year and second of his career.
Nielsen, who turns 56 on Monday, finished at 21-under 195, a record for the tournament. That was three shots better than the mark set by 2008 winner Eduardo Romero.
Funk (69) entered the final round with a three-shot lead over Nielsen, Romero (73), and Black (66). It was the first time in four tries that Funk failed to win when leading entering the final round.
European Tour
MUNICH - Nick Dougherty shot a final-round 64 to win the BMW International Open by one stroke and claim the third European Tour victory of his career.
The 27-year-old Englishman finished at 22-under 266, holding off Rafa Echenique by one stroke after the Argentine produced an albatross on the 18th hole to complete his 10-under 62.
Third-round leader Retief Goosen of South Africa finished third, four strokes behind Dougherty, after a final-round 71 at the Golfclub Munchen Eichenried.
