By The Associated PressJuly 25, 2021 GMT
BLAINE, Minn. (AP) Cameron Champ fended off dehydration and crisply putted his way to a 5-under 66 on Sunday, winning the 3M Open by two strokes for his third career victory.
The 26-year-old Champ had five birdies in a bogey-free round to finish at 15-under 269 at TPC Twin Cities. Louis Oosthuizen, Jhonattan Vegas and Charl Schwartzel tied for second.
Champ jumped from 142nd to 49th in the FedEx Cup standings, with the top 125 getting into the playoff opener.
Oosthuizen shot 66, too, in a much stronger finish than the previous weekend at the British Open, where his 54-hole lead turned into a tie for third after a fourth-round 71.

GUILDERLAND The sensational summer of Altamont native Kennedy Swedick took another special step Friday in the opening round of the Symetra Tour’s Twin Bridges Championship Friday at Pinehaven Country Club.
Swedick, the 14-year-old Albany Academy student who plays well beyond her years, bounced back from a pair of double bogeys on the front nine to shoot even-par on the back nine, including three birdies on the last four holes, for a solid 5-over-par 76.
Meanwhile, 25-year-old Maddie McCrary, an Oklahoma State graduate who has 15 starts on the LPGA Tour as well as two top-10s and $37,349 in career earnings on the Symetra Tour, took the opening-round lead with a 5-under-par 66 that included six birdies and just one bogey. Canadian Maude-Aimee LeBlanc, who has 23 career top-10s, was second with a 67 that included five birdies, while Binny Lee was third

This time there were people to cheer him.
The American closed with a bogey-free 4-under 66 and won the British Open in his debut Sunday, becoming the first player to win two majors on the first attempt.
His victory 11 months ago in his PGA Championship debut came in the first major with no spectators amid the pandemic. It was a very different scenario for Morikawa as he made one of the greatest walks in golf down the 18th fairway at Royal St. George’s, first to applause and then to a standing ovation.
