Auto Racing
CONCORD, N.C. — Joey Logano snatched a win away from Kyle Larson in the second race of a NASCAR doubleheader.
Logano passed Larson on a restart with 12 laps to go to win the Xfinity Series race Sunday at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The race was originally scheduled for Friday night but washed out by Hurricane Matthew and run following the Sprint Cup race. It made for 800 miles of racing, and Logano and Larson were among five drivers who ran both events.
Golf
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Tyrrell Hatton won his first European Tour title after taking apart the Old Course at St. Andrews for the second straight day in an impressive display of front-running at the Dunhill Links Championship on Sunday.
The 24-year-old Englishman, who had a three-shot lead overnight, followed up a course record-tying, bogey-free 62 at the home of golf on Saturday with a 6-under 66 in the final round. He finished on a total of 23 under par (265).
Hatton won by four shots from Richard Sterne (66) and Ross Fisher (67) to earn about $800,000 — easily the biggest pay check of his career.
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — Jay Haas birdied the first hole of a playoff with Bart Bryant on Sunday to become the second-oldest winner in PGA Tour Champions history.
At 62 years, 10 months, 7 days, Haas trails only Mike Fetchick, the 1985 Hilton Head Seniors Invitational winner at 63 years to the day.
After opening with bogey-free rounds of 64 and 63 to take a five-stroke lead, Haas had to rally to get into the playoff. He made par saves on the par-3 17th and par-5 18th for a 1-under 70 to match Bryant.
Olympics
The Institute of National Anti-Doping Organizations called conclusions from this weekend’s Olympic doping summit “not sufficient” to protect clean athletes.
The 59-member agency released a statement Sunday underlining weaknesses from the International Olympic Committee’s anti-doping summit held the day before in Lausanne, Switzerland.
Key downsides, according to iNADO: the IOC’s refusal to explicitly mention state-sponsored doping in Russia, despite two investigations that found it existed; and the IOC’s framing of conclusions from one of those investigations as “mere allegations” and not “demonstrable facts.”
INADO CEO Joseph de Pencier said “the IOC only comes part way to restoring its credibility for the clean athletes of the world.”
Soccer
HOUSTON — Sabrina D’Angelo made three saves in the penalty shootout and the Western New York Flash won the National Women’s Soccer League championship 3-2 on penalties after a 2-2 draw with the Washington Spirit on Sunday.
Crystal Dunn gave the Spirit the lead in the 92nd minute, but Golden Boot winner Lynn Williams scored for the Flash in extra time of the overtime period to send the match to penalties.
Dunn first scored in the 10th minute, before Samantha Mewis evened it with a goal for the Flash in the 14th.
D’Angelo, who was on the Canadian national team that won the bronze medal at this summer’s Olympic Games, pumped her fists and screamed after stopping Diana Matheson’s attempt for the win at Houston’s BBVA Compass Stadium.
