Avictory Sunday would be third on the PGA Tour and make him the second youngest after iger Woods with three titles since 1940. It would also a llow him to wrest the lead in the point standings a way from Jimmy Walker and further boost his confidence ahead of the first major championship in Augusta, Georgia, next week. Spieth was the runner-up to Bubba Watson there last spring. Spieth sank a 41-foot birdie putt from just off the reen on the par-3 16, to get to 14 under par, where he finished. His last two previous starts winning a playoff in Tampa over Patrick Reed and placing second to Walker in San Antonio lifted him to a career-best No.

This feels really good. (Sunday) cert ainly have nerves, but hopefully give myself a chance to win.

Then take even more confidence into next week. you can close out a tournament going to be good for you the next time you tee he said. A ustin Cook, who gained entry into the field through the Monday qualifier, is tied for second at 203 with first-round leader Scott Piercy and Johnson agner, the Houston 2008 champion. Cook, only 24 and still seeking his PGA Tour card, finished second round with four cons ecutive birdies to catch Phil Mickelson for second place, then briefly claimed the lead with a birdie on the eighth hole Saturday. ook had an up-and-down back nine, suffering a double bogey on the par-5 15th before reclaiming a stroke with a birdie on 17.

He sank a short putt on 18 to tay within a swing of Spieth as he tries to become only the third qualifier since 1986 to claim a Tour hampionship. Piercy had tied the tournament-course record with an opening 63 but skied to 74 on Friday, only to bounce back strongly with a third-round 66. Wagner posted a 67 to fight his way into contention. Andrew Putnam, the 36-hole leader, struggled to a 7 5 and fell five shots off the surging pace. pieth has had four top-10 finishes in five starts ince missing the cut at Torrey Pines in early Febru- a ry but said he think he was on I look at this as the way I should be he said.

GOLF ROUNDUP Spieth leads by 1over Cook in Houston Open ASSOCIATED PRESS The red shirt was in control once again Sunday at Augusta National Golf Club. As the shadows from the ine trees started to lengthen over the emerald setting below, Tiger Woods had a 1-shot lead with three oles to play. A fourth green jacket in nine years and his ninth major victory were well within reach. It was 2005. Woods and Chris DiMarco had turned the Masters into a two-man show.

DiMarco led after 18 and 36 holes before Woods made seven consecutive birdies over two days in a third round delayed by rain to grab the lead after 54. When they reached the lake-guarded 16th on Sunday, they were six shots clear of the field. And then Woods sailed his 8-iron left of the green. His ball wound up near the collar of the rough, below the green, 50 feet from the hole. He had to take an adventurous route, pitching the ball 25 feet to the left of the hole and into a large ridge that dissects the green.

He needed the ball to make a right turn and head downhill toward the hole. On a lightning-fast reen. On a Sunday in a major. Making par was unlikely. Bogey was probable.

Double bogey was in play. Tiger pitched in for birdie. pinning halfway up the ridge, then making the right turn, the ball slowly started rolling toward the hole. Then the Nike swoosh hung on the lip for 1.8 sec- nds before disappearing into the hole. I nstead of losing his lead, Woods walked to the 17th ee two shots clear of stunned DiMarco, who missed is birdie putt from 20 feet.

Although Woods bogeyed the last two holes, he defeated DiMarco on the first hole of a playoff with a 15-foot birdie on the 18th. was one of those magical moments in sports istory a time you remember where you were when i says Marc Patrick, vice president of lobal marketing for Nike, which cashed in as the shot was replayed over and over and later became a massive hit on YouTube. GOLF Augusta shot memorable STEVE DIMEGLIO ASSOCIATED PRESS KEY BISCAYNE, Clutching her latest trophy, erena Williams brushed confetti from her arms and smiled for the cameras as she chatted with Martina avratilova, her relaxed multitasking a reflection of vast experience with championship ceremonies. illiams wins everywhere she goes, and she wins on Key Biscayne more than anywhere else. She earned her eighth title in the tournament Saturday and remained unbeaten this year by drubbing Carla Suarez Navarro 6-2, 6-0 in the Miami Open final.

Williams became the fourth player to win the same WTA event at least eight times. Navratilova won Chicago 12 times, the most titles by a woman at any tournament. like to believe the older I get, the better I said Williams, 33. But she grimaced when asked if she thought she might match Navratilova by winning Key Biscayne 12 times. hope she said.

I would be how old? No, pray that I get to Navratilova was on hand to present the trophy, the second this year for the top-ranked Williams. She won er 19th Grand Slam championship at the Australian Open in January, and has now won 12 consecutive finals. Four-time champion Novak Djokovic plays two-time champ Andy Murray in the final Sunday. Mike a nd Bob Bryan won the doubles title Saturday by beat- i ng Jack Sock and Vasek Pospisil 6-3, 1-6, 10-8. Williams improved to 18-0 in 2015.

She withdrew be- ore the Indian Wells semifinal last month with a knee injury, and was frustrated with her early play at Key iscayne, drawing jeers for pounding the court with her racket. But the sun-splashed crowd was firmly behind her in the final. A roar erupted when she entered the stadium, and she had the fans cheering her winners from the first point. feels really good to have eight under my Williams said. say I thought I would win eight, especially in the beginning of the week.

It just feels really Suarez Navarro looked uneasy at the start but managed to hold in her first two service games. Williams pulled away from there, and her grunts grew louder as she closed out the first set. She won the final 10 games, including 25 of 30 points in the second set. Mixing pace and direction, Williams won 21of 22 points on her first serve, and she totaled 29 inners to three for Suarez Navarro. TENNIS Serena wins Biscayne STEVEN WINE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
