1. Jason Day wins Canadian Open with birdies on the final three holes. Day, who was coming off a fourth place finish at The British Open on Monday, made headlines last month as well after playing through a bout of vertigo at The U.S. Open. Bubba Watson finished one stroke behind Day, while Canadian David Hearn was two strokes away from becoming the first Canadian winner in over sixty years.

2. Zach Johnson comes from behind to win The British Open. With The Open’s final round finishing up on Monday, we were left in suspense waiting to find out who the winner would be. Amateur golfer Paul Dunne was leading heading into Monday’s round, but ended up shooting a 78 in the final round, and finished tied for 30. Johnson met and defeated Louis Oosthuizen and Marc Leishman in a four-hole playoff to earn his 12th PGA Tour Victory.
3. Rebecca Artis overcomes rainy conditions to win Ladies Scottish Open. The Australian shot 6-under-66 on Sunday to earn a two-stroke victory over Suzann Pettersen. Lydia Ko, the second-ranked woman in the world, finished in fourth place. Ko was pleased with her performance stating she feels ready for the Women’s British Open which begins Thursday.
4. Danny Willett wins his third European Tour title with European Masters victory. Coming off a sixth place finish at The Open last week, Willett made five birdies and zero bogeys in his final round of this weekend’s tournament.
