EDMONTON, Alberta — Lorena Ochoa won the Canadian Women’s Open for her second straight victory and fifth of the season, closing with a 2-under 69 on Sunday for a three-stroke victory over Paula Creamer.

The top-ranked Mexican star, coming off her first major victory two weeks ago in the Women’s British Open at St. Andrews, had a 16-under 268 total on the Royal Mayfair course. She earned $337,500 to raise her tour-leading total to $2,636,590.

“It was just one of those weeks where everything was good from tee to green,” Ochoa told the cheering crowd, some waving Mexican flags, as she stood on the 18th green and struggled to lift the outsized two-handled silver mug trophy.

“It’s like a soccer trophy. I like it.”

Creamer finished with a 68.

“I gave myself a ton of chances out there and that’s all you can ask for on Sunday. I tried my hardest,” said Creamer, a Pleasanton native. “It was great to be able to play on Sunday in contention. It feels good. I played good, so I keep saying it’s a learning experience out there for me. Two unfortunate bogeys, little putts, but other than that, I think I did an OK job of hanging in there and trying to put some pressure on her.”

Shi Hyun Ahn (66) was third at 10 under, and Brittany Lang (67) and Laura Diaz (72) followed at 9 under.

U.S. Women’s Open champion Cristie Kerr, the winner last year at London Hunt in Ontario, shot a 75 to tie for 50th at 1 over.

“You’re not going to defend any golf tournament playing like this,” Kerr said. “I didn’t hit it good today and my putting woes continued. It would have been funny if I just chucked my putter in the lake after the round because I’m not using it anymore.”

• Rookie Snedeker claims first PGA Tour victory at Wyndham

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Tied with two holes to play and seemingly headed for a playoff, Brandt Snedeker, made the best shot of his short career.

Snedeker’s 3-iron to within 32 feet on the par-3 17th set up a birdie putt that moved him ahead of Tim Petrovic for good, and the rookie finished with a 9-under 63 for his first career PGA Tour win, a two-stroke victory at the low-scoring Wyndham Championship.

The 26-year-old Tennessee native and former Vanderbilt player had the best round of the tournament. He finished at 22-under 266, earned $900,000 — and, perhaps most importantly, jumped 17 spots to No. 9 on the FedEx Cup points list. Petrovic (67), Jeff Overton (70) and Billy Mayfair (67) were two strokes back.

• McNulty wins his first major, taking The Tradition by five

SUNRIVER, Ore. — When Mark McNulty ran into some trouble on the final hole of The Tradition, he recalled words of advice from Gary Player.

“Gary Player always said, ‘Mark, as long as you win by one, you’ve won,”’ McNulty said after double-bogeying the 18th hole at Crosswater Golf Club but still claiming his first major by five strokes.

McNulty shot a 4-under 68, finishing the Champions Tour event with a 16-under 272 total.
