DUBLIN, Ohio -- With every swing, Hideki Matsuyama appeared to join a cast of top players throwing away a chance to win the Memorial. A tee shot in the water on the 16th for double bogey. An approach over the back of the green on the 17th that led to bogey. And then a drive to the right that made the Japanese star so disgusted that he lightly slammed his club into the turf, and the head of the driver broke off. The ball hit a tree and took one last bounce back into the fairway, and Matsuyama seized on the break. He took dead aim with a 7-iron to just outside 5 feet for birdie on the 18th hole to force a playoff with Kevin Na, and then won for the first time in America with a 10-foot par putt on the first extra hole. "Right from the 15th hole, I had a lot of missed shots," Matsuyama said. "The double bogey at 16, bogey at 17, not a real good tee shot -- I thought -- at 18. But when I saw the ball on the fairway on the 18th hole there, thats when I was able to think I still have a chance." The 22-year-old Matsuyama earned validation as one of the games bright young stars Sunday by closing with a 3-under 69 and making two clutch putts on the 18th hole for his sixth career victory, the previous five on the Japan Golf Tour. This was his first win against a field of the worlds top players. "I just think youve just seen the start of whats going to be truly one of your worlds great players over the next 10 to 15 years," tournament host Jack Nicklaus said. Nicklaus spent much of the back nine in the broadcast booth, and it was a brand of golf that was unfamiliar to golfs greatest champion. The Memorial became only the latest event where proven players faltered badly. Masters champion Bubba Watson had a one-shot lead with five holes to play. He was 3 over the rest of the way. Adam Scott, the No. 1 player in the world, was tied for the lead until playing the last seven holes in 4 over. "The whole thing is frustrating as I stand here right now," Scott said after his 71. "But everyone is going to feel like that. We all could have done something different. If we all did, who knows what the result would be?" Scott fell apart by hitting one shot into the water, taking two shots to get out of a bunker and losing all hope when his third shot to the par-5 15th hit the pin and caromed back into the fairway, leading to a bogey. Watson dropped three shots by hooking two tee shots. The most damaging was his drive on the 15th that was so high, so powerful and so far right that it cleared the trees and went into a neighbourhood, leading a double bogey. Needing a birdie on the 18th, his shot looked good until it took one small hop and stayed in the rough. A few inches closer and it would have fed down the slope for a short birdie chance. He closed with a 72 and finished third, moving him to No. 3 in the world ahead of the injured Tiger Woods. "Its tough," Watson said, who was going for his third win of the year. "I made one bad decision. If I hit 4-wood off the tee instead of driver on the par 5, we make 5 and we win by one. But I made double, so we lost by one." Na finished his round of 64 about two hours earlier. He was in the clubhouse at Muirfield Village, leaning against two pillows on a sofa as he watched the calamity unfold, even joking he might win by not hitting another shot. Thanks to Matsuyama, he had to. And it wasnt pretty. Na hooked his tee shot on the 18th in the playoff, and it went into the creek. He still had 10 feet for bogey when Matsuyama made the winning putt. Na did not speak to reporters. A PGA Tour official tracked him down in the parking lot, and he gave credit to Matsuyama for making a great putt. Adding to the bizarre ending was how Matsuyama played the extra hole. It was not an angry slam of the driver after his tee shot on the 18th in regulation, and he was shocked to see the head fall off. He could have replaced the club because the playoff is not considered part of the round, but he had no replacement. Instead, he went with 3-wood off the tee in the playoff, and it went into the front bunker. He hooked his 5-iron, hitting a spectator in the knee left of the green, and hit a flop shot safely to 10 feet. It was the first par he made on the 18th hole all week. Matsuyama became the first player to make birdie on the closing hole at Muirfield Village four straight rounds. "To win my first PGA Tour event is enough," Matsuyama said. "But to win it here at Mr. Nicklaus course, it really gives me a lot of confidence now going on. And hopefully, Ill be able to use this week as a stepping stone to further my career." Matsuyama became the fourth Japanese player to win on the PGA Tour, the most recent being Ryuji Imada in the 2008 AT&T Classic. The Memorial, even with Woods out with a back injury, featured the strongest field of the year outside the Masters, World Golf Championships and The Players Championship.

After an abysmal first half, Crompton helped Montreal to a come-from-behind 38-31 victory over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Percival Molson Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Crompton divulged Saturday that his former fiancee, who had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer earlier this season, died Friday. Crompton was planning to head home to Tennessee after the game to be with her family. "This was not the best week for myself personally," said the Als quarterback, who had been growing his hair for the Locks for Love charity. "Thats the reason this is a team game. The guys came out and said, We got you. Go out there and be yourself. Emotionally, just let it out. They had my back." Crompton finished 18-of-27 passing for 205 yards with a TD and interception in his second straight start for Montreal, which scored four unanswered touchdowns and outscored Hamilton 31-10 in the second half to secure the victory. "A lot of adversity was thrown young Jonathan Cromptons way, and he dealt with it," said Als coach Tom Higgins. "Sometimes, what people dont know is that (athletes) have lives, and other things happen within their life, and it was a tragic thing that he had to deal with. "We truly feel that he always has the temperament to turn it around, no matter how bad hes playing. Thats a sign of a good quarterback, one that has a short memory." Montreal trailed 24-10 when Billy Parker intercepted a pass from Hamiltons Zach Collaros and returned it 45 yards to the Ticats four-yard line at 9:10 of the third quarter. Four plays and a pass interference penalty later, backup quarterback Tanner Marsh scored on a one-yard run. That seemed to energize the Alouettes as three minutes later, Crompton put together his best drive of the game to make it 24-24. He had a 33-yard completion to Duron Carter and 42-yard toss to Chad Johnson, then finished the five-play, 98-yard drive with a 10-yard scoring strike to Carter. James Rodgers 82-yard punt return for a touchdown broke the deadlock in the fourth quarter before Marsh added his second rushing TD of the game with three minutes remaining. "The turning point was going in at halftime and regrouping," said Higgins. "We knew that we needed to help our offence, and we did. The defence came up. Our special teams helped out too. We played a pretty good football game. "It was really a quiet locker room. We knew we had to come out and do these things in order to give ourselves a chance to win. The athletes have responded. Theres never any yelling or any screaming." The Alouettes (3-7) earned their second straight win to move into a tie with idle Toronto atop the East Division. Hamilton (2-7), meanwhile, fell to third in the East, two points ahead of Otttawa.dddddddddddd The Ticats were sitting pretty at the interval, up 14 points and en route to their second consecutive victory. But four second-half turnovers, including two lost fumbles and an interception, cost Hamilton the victory. Montreal scored a total 24 points off turnovers, including seven in the first quarter. "We gave too many points on turnovers," said Ticats head coach Kent Austin. "They killed us. You cant do it. You cant lose a turnover battle on the road and expect to win football games. You just cant do it. "We gave them points, and we gave them momentum in the second half. I told the team that until we learn to be a disciplined football team for four quarters with respect to turnovers in particular -- turnovers are killers -- its tough to win football games. It doesnt matter how well we play otherwise." Collaros finished the game 30-of-43 passing for 345 yards and added 35 rushing yards. "I dont think I can explain it yet," said Collaros, who threw a consolation touchdown pass to Andy Fantuz with 11 seconds remaining. "The defence played a great game, but we put them in some bad situations. Once Montreal got the momentum, it was hard to get anything going. We didnt execute like we should have in the second half." Montreal made the Ticats pay on their first turnover early in the game. Linebacker Winston Venable put the Alouettes in front 7-0 two minutes into the first quarter, returning Mossis Madus fumble 59 yards for the TD. Hamilton responded with a turnover score of its own when cornerback Rico Murray returned a Crompton interception 40 yards for the touchdown. Collaros then had a three-yard touchdown pass to Fantuz with time expiring in the first. It was a disastrous opening quarter for Montreal, which had no first downs and one yard of total offence. Justin Medlock added his second field goal of the game and a 53-yard single late in the second to put Hamilton ahead 21-7 at halftime. The two teams exchanged field goals in the third. "It means so much," said Carter, who finished the game with 56 receiving yards. "Especially in the division, and against Hamilton. We have a big rivalry against them. Late in the game, there was a lot of turmoil. Its a big game for us. We got the crowd going. All the momentum on the field makes us want to go score."
